It's Simmering

When I cook I love it when a dish starts to simmer, blending it's way to a tasty finish. That's how I feel about our house project.

I met with our Engineers yesterday and one of them had our plans up on his computer--in 3-D! As he spun the house around I pointed out what windows I wanted to get rid of and the ones I wanted to add. One window became French doors! It will take a few weeks before the plans are done, but it's underway.

I'm looking for a new job, too. The job I have I took as a favor to a friend, and it worked well for me--I didn't have to work if I was in the middle of mom stuff--but it hasn't been something I'd want to do forever. Now, I want to do something more in my field--writing. More simmering going on there, and I'm excited.

I guess what I'm seeing is that life doesn't stop as an empty nester. For me, at least, I've got the brain space to focus. This is a good thing. I just have to make sure and not bite off too much--even if it is tasty.
