Melissa’s coming again! She’s actually on her way now from Pennsylvania, and will get here tonight about the time we eat with Dave’s parents. I’m glad for her company - these last couple of weeks have been lonely. Anyway, she’ll be staying for a week or so, so if I don’t post, please forgive me. I’ll be having fun with my sister. =)

I have an interview on Wednesday. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I was excited about the Taylor interview because I knew I’d love the job and the people and the environment… I don’t know any of those things about this place. I imagine I’ll find out on Wednesday. Still, I want something that is more than a temporary job. I want something I’ll be able to do for 5 or 10 years… Not something that will end in 3. Small companies make me nervous.

Whatever the case, I know that I have something to offer this company I’ll be interviewing with. It will challenge me, and perhaps give me the means to learn some new things (languages) that will help me in the future if this doesn’t work out. I guess what I learned from my last company (among many other things) is to have a backup plan, and something going on the side.

I’ve been sick! Man, I had a 10-year-no-puking streak, but it ended abruptly Sunday.

We had friends over Saturday night and cooked out - somehow, I think I managed to get some of that raw meat in my mouth, because I went to bed with an awful stomach ache Saturday night. I woke up with an even worse stomach ache on Sunday morning. Dave went on to church and I stayed home sick all day. I didn’t eat anything until yesterday, when I had an english muffin and some water.

I think I’m okay now - I’m pretty sure it was food poisoning of some sort. I haven’t been around any sick people. Dave hasn’t been feeling well, but I think it’s a different kind of sick, the same he’s had for a couple of years. Thankfully, he seems to feel better today, too.

Anyway, that’s why I’ve been incommunicado. I have literally been in bed for the last couple of days.
