That PING means your journal is still alive!

Well hellooooo everyone. Or just one? Who knows.

It's been a year since my last entry and I I thought perhaps a update would be nice. 2017 ended with me and a friend going to a local bar/restaurant for a lovely evening. 2019 was a whirlwind of activity. I accepted a faculty position at a University, went to California and Denver (I actually interviewed in Denver but didn't opt to go live there). I went on the JoCo cruise, then went to Europe where I visited [profile] spursgirl79 in the UK and various friends in Berlin and Cologne. I did a LOT of socializing in NYC and basically soaked up the warmth and friendship, having a good time and reclaiming the good vibes that were whisked away in the strain of recent times.

I am now living in Connecticut! I learned to drive! I have a car! I'm on a tenure track in a small social work department at a small University that seems to be my speed. I miss all the socializing and friendships in NYC, but I have a huuuuuge beautiful flat and the kitties now have a hallway to run back and forth while I try to sleep.

I still miss T-Rex terribly, but I am not infrequently reminded of his presence. He still seems to be able to find ways to get my needs met.

For all these things I am thankful.

I send wishes to whomever winds up reading this, for all good things in 2019.

Ayuh, hurrah for Connectiwhoozle.

Let`s see: we`re still living on an island in the North Pacific Ocean. Darling spouse took her Canadian citizenship five weeks ago. Trump has not yet taken note....
