It came up in conversation a few days ago that I have a blog.  Well, I sort of write a blog….I have written posts on a blog….I once had a blog that wasn’t read so often….my life got really busy.  Can I still claim to have a blog if I don’t visit so often?

 So here, on my visit to this barren land, is a quick update of the last (nearly) two months since I last posted here:

• I interviewed for a job that I really wanted on September 11th.  On the same day my partner and I met with an expectant woman at our adoption agency who was considering an adoption plan.
• I had a second interview for the job a month later.  I was offered the position and accepted.
• I resigned from the job at the dysfunctionally managed nonprofit where I have spent more than five years doing good work with an incredible group of volunteers.  The news was not received well; I felt punished by the executive director for leaving. 
• My last day at the old place was the same day as the due date of the woman we met with.  She decided to parent and I think it was a good decision.  (I will write more about this at another time)
• I took a week off for some transition time before starting the new job.  My partner took off most of the week as well and we played ‘local tourists’, going to all of the theaters, museums, and restaurants that we have intended to visit but never got around to.
• The new job is challenging (!).  (I will also write more about this in another post)

Also to come in future posts: My mother’s recent trip to Israel-Palestine with an evangelical Christian tour group, my ‘perfectly stable’ life–as described by a friend at dinner on Friday night, and considering biological parenthood while continuing to wait in the adoption process.
