Just so you know... 2

Hi Flicka, wondered if you were still around! I have actually been invited to speak- expenses all paid by FWS- at a national Marine Mammal Stranding conference in WVa in April. Ive just been thinking alot about moving to the city, and hopefully being able to afford to get a D! I love photography, but I dont have a camera right now, maybe I can make it my christmas gift to myself. And I dont have my own insurance, I would really feel better if I could go get some new glasses, and go to the dentist! Just to not have to worry about that kind of thing anymore. Like I said, nothing is truly set instone yet, so I just am thinking about it so I can answer firmly if they make me an offer.

My old girl is just sort of getting a little worse everyday. Shes slowly having a harder time, even with all of the medications. And I think that its probably getting close to time to let her go. I dont want to wait until shes so sick that she cant get up at all.

So its all still up in the air, but I feel pretty good about things right now. I have a job right now, and I have some feelers out for other jobs, here and in Anchorage. I am hopeful and optomistic about things, at least more so than I have been in a little while!
