Last year my job in Japan ended. Some of you may remember that I had to transport my kitty halfway 'round the globe 3 1/2 mos early to avoid the airline critter embargo caused by the summe rheat in okinawa and Japan's refusal to allow cabin critters on planes. those were the lonliest 3 mos in Okinawa before i was finally reuinted with Aya in August.
Since returning from Japan last summer I've been mostly unemployed. I tried to resume my old job as a Vet receptionist as an interim measure but my allergies combined with GI issues (I can't take allery meds) resulted in me quiting this Feb. Since then, well lets say I've been unemployed. Applying for many jobs but getting nowhere here in Vt and then those jobs pay only $11 or 12 /hour not enough for an apartment here. And the last one I applied to had over 200 applicants -yikes!
So, my bro has been making suggestion about me coming out to Seattle and living with him for months. I finally decided to give it a try. Bigger job market, better pay, nicer and more plentiful apartments...
I talked to him about it on Monday, my two biggest concerns were oviously Aya and my car. Car, no problem he'll rent me one till I have a job if i need it then we can investigate shipping my FIt out. but he wants me to leave the fuzzball at home... And get her at thanksgiving, assuming I have a job. I don't know that I'm up to 2, 3, or 5 mos separation. Aya's just got back into the habit of using me as a midnight snugglie.
