I realized I hadn't posted anything in a "few" days, so I thought I'd better try to stay true to my commitment about keeping up with this. 

Things at the new job are going well.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again . . . It's nice to be right where you are supposed to be.  It's also nice wake each morning without the dread of having to go to work; I couldn't remember the last time that happened.

My only concern is my little Chester.  I know he gets so lonely during the days.  He got so used to being with his grandparents and their little dog, so now we're going to have to look into getting him his own puppy sooner or later.  I just don't think he's up to the responsibility of having one right now.  

Fort Worth schools started back today, so our usual daily crowd of kids were absent.  A few trickled in after school let out, but it has been unusually slow for a Monday.
