Sometimes you think, if one more thing......

I have been travelling back and forth to Virginia a lot.  I-85 will be the death of me, for sure.  A few months ago, it was the accident that just about did me in with all the "stuff" I had to do, including appearing in court on a workday in order to get a bogus ticket dismissed.  That whole mess wasn't settled completely for months.  I finally got the final inspection done on my car and am free and clear.  Now, stuff just keeps on coming....

I am job hunting in hopes of moving to Virginia around the 1st of June.  Riiiiiiight.  The job market, even in nursing, is closed up tighter than a drum in that area.  The place I interviewed for last week?  Very nice.  People have been working there for 20-30 years.  The only reason there was a job opening was because it was a new position.  I still haven't heard back from them.  And it is the only bite I have had out of about a million stupid applications and numerous hours searching the web for ANYTHING.  If I get this job, it is an hours drive each way, and we are now looking for a middle ground area, and a new place to live.  More hours and hours on the web searching for just the right place.  We want to be spoiled and live in a community that has everything right there...clubhouse, pool, gym, etc.  And raquetball court!  Hmmm, I will only watch, believe me.  We have found one that is almost perfect in Newport News.  But, dunno.  Still looking.

And, about I-85.  I am, well, old, and have never gotten a ticket.  Well, never got one that wasn't dismissed.  I speed.  Yes, I do.  Well, it's a 3 1/2 hour drive!  I got pulled doing 81 in a 65.  In Virginia that is RECKLESS SPEEDING!!!!  ME!  The most careful driver in the world.  Yes, I drive fast, but I do not tailgate, I do not weave in and out of traffic, I wait until it is VERY safe to pull out on the road.  I let people out at intersections or side roads, whatever.  I slow down to let  people onto the E-way.  ALL I do is speed.  Ya, I know, still against the law.  But, then, we must all be breaking the driving laws cuz I was with traffic, and he just chose me cuz I was over 80 mph, and that is BAD in Virginia.  Now, I have to go to courts AGAIN, on a work day, and plead my case.  I am guilty, of course, but they do not just let you pay the fine.  No.  I have to take a day off of work, drive 150 miles to be in court at 8:30 in the morning.  What else? 

Oh, the something else....  We had the meeting with the realtor and the house is up for sale.  I did not expect it to take 2 hours to listen to them tell us how wonderful they are.  Just put the damn house on the market, lady!  Ack..  My gsons and my man were waiting to do lunch when I was done.  That turned out to be close to 3:30 when I finally got done, drove 1/2 hour back to where they all were waiting, and........well, you get the picture.  But, at least this is a positive thing, getting the house up for sale.  Whew.

So, that is more of the continuing saga of my life and where it is going.  Heading in the right direction, but soooooo hard to finally get there.
