So...yesterday I accepted a new job! I'll be going back to Sabre in a different role with a whole new team. It's a little less money than I was making at Advito, but given the way the world is right now, I'm very grateful that I found something and Sabre has great benefits. I'll have 6 weeks of vacation. Who knows if that's good or bad by the time you read this, the world is changing all the time. But for now, it's a really good deal in America. My new boss is so excited to have me, so that feels good.
You know what also feels good? The idea of being able to spend money again! Not that we've been poor this whole time or anything. Your mom has always been very careful with money and it really paid off during this pandemic. But we were being pretty cautious and I have to admit, it kinda sucked. I've spent most of my life being cautious with money and the 5 months I was at Advito, I finally felt like we could go a little crazy from time to time. It was nice while it lasted. We still ate well and had a roof over our heads. But we didn't go out to eat very much or buy new clothes (not that we've needed them to just sit around the house for a year). I plan to treat you and I on Friday with pedicures. A luxury we haven't had in more than a year.
You are almost down to 4 more weeks of school and only 2 more weeks of taekwondo. Now that I'll be working, I need to figure out what to do with you this summer so you don't sit on the couch watching anime all day every day. ;)
Anyway, that's all the big news for right now. I'm still trying to find a designer to do the cover of my book and I've been working on making the audiobook. I want to do as much as I can myself (although I'm definitely not qualified to do the cover art). I was sort of considering it a little DIY, but Da put it differently. He said for the audiobook, I'm the writer, director, producer, editor and talent. Which sounds fancy, but it basically means I'm sitting in our media room closet, recording myself while your dad tries to keep the cat out of there and then listening to my own asthmatic breathing and removing all the breaths from the track. Perception vs reality. Haha!
I love you kiddo,
Ma
