How to Fling an Otter

[LoisB]

Thanks to EVERYONE FOR ALL THE SUPPPORT! I really, really appreciate it--more than you know. I don't get a whole lot of that from my family and, getting it here, makes all the difference.

I'm freaking out a lil bit.

HOW IN THE HE!! am I GONNA DO ALL THIS????????? Egads.

I thought I would get this clear, neon arrow saying, "Take the job!! This is it! This is where you should live!!! Take the girls! Life will be GREAT!!"

Not so much.

Pros: I got that feeling (TAKE THE JOB!!!) while I was listening to the editor and publisher. This is a really good fit for me, professionally. I'd be hard-pressed to find another position so suited to my skills and background.

Cons: Can I do this?? Can I act as editor of two fledgling newspapers AND parent AND start a new life somewhere far from home????


Pros: I have already been doing it alone, under much more stressful circumstances...no money, no help, heavy criticism from family...At least, with this position, I'd be getting a steady paycheck and I would have potential to move forward professionally. Could be a lot easier than the stress I've been living under for 2+ years.
