Over my western Canadian home...
It is a beautiful sunny day. Syd and I just returned from a walk/hike into the backcountry behind our property. The marsh is frozen over now so we can get across it and check out the countryside behind us. It is quite a lovely. We came across a lot of deer droppings and also met our next door neighbour out walking his pyrenees dog.
We have had a couple of good news items to celebrate lately. The property manager rented the suite in the house so we have a bit on income coming from there now. Also having someone in the house will make the insurance company happy.
Also I was able to find a job. Rocky is a small town and there aren't many jobs for women (other than health care and teaching) that pay very much. Most are clerical positions. Business here is related to the oil and gas industry and most of the jobs are too. There is lots of demand for welders, heavy duty mechanics and anyone knowledgeable in this industry. Many of the men work out of town in the 'field' and their wives and kids live here.
My new job is at ATB Financial (Alberta Treasury Branch Financial - is a bank owned and operated by the Alberta Provincial Government) as an Account Manager. I start on December 1. This will help us in a couple of ways. It will help with the finances and will help us meet people in town.
We now should be in a position to weather the current economic storm that is blowing over the globe.

Congrats on renting out the suite and the new job! Are you still planning to spend December in Mexico? I hope that's still the plan!
