I'm Back!

And I'm ready for more blogging :)  Life has taken another change this last 2-3 weeks...I was working as a temp for Vision Service Plan (VSP) up to the 31st of July.  I'd been there for a year, and I knew the end of the assignment was coming.  It wasn't a surprise or a shock.  It had been a good year, and VSP is rightly named as one of the 100 best companies to work for in the United States.

After my temp assignment ended, I assumed that my agency would have another assignment for me rather quickly, but that hasn't materialized yet.  As a precaution, I applied for unemployment and found out last week that I'll be receiving a regular check.  That's a huge relief :)

I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and look into whether or not I qualify for taking classes while staying on unemployment, and am still waiting to find out.  If I do qualify, I plan to take a course in bookkeeping and office management to enhance my skills.  I have almost all the experience I need to be an office manager except for the bookkeeping skills, so this would be a good move for me.

Meanwhile, I've been in a waiting mode this last two weeks, and everything has been put on hold, including this blog.  It's a bad habit of mine, doing nothing while in waiting mode.  I need to stop that.

This blog will still be about my journey to a healthier life, but I'm going to expand the focus to include thrifty living and my experiences with that.  I'll be sharing great websites and resources, as well as my experiences.

Oh, I'll also be posting about our new kitten, The Mighty Diesel Thunderpurr.  I think you'll like him :)



Happy Monday!
