Finally, better weather...sunny and dry, but much cooler. I went to find the comforter early this morning to cover my chilly feet. Good gardening weather...the beans and squash are flowering. It is a race, will they produce before the days are too short and too cool? No flowers on the cucumbers yet, but they are starting to need a support to climb on. I water every other day, and we may have rain this weekend!

Moon cake for Chinese holiday

As far as jobs, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. I read that the Cooperative Extension was going to be responsible for the Health Insurance Navigators, people to explain the new health insurance system to consumers starting October 1. I thought that sounded like a good job for me--one I am qualified for and would enjoy doing. I looked at the listings at the university and applied for lots of jobs, but that one never showed up. I have 10 applications in, through UGA's online system...and no responses to any of them. About 2 weeks ago, I looked online again...and it seemed like the Health Navigator was listed! I was excited and applied right away...but I hear that they hired someone...I didn't see it the first day it was posted and they were apparently in a big hurry and interviewed and hired before I ever applied. I even knew several people who were willing to put in a good word for me, but I missed the window. Dag-nab it! I get my hopes up and then I get shot down again.

I've gotten pretty good at cooking, being home so much. Today I made lasagne...including tomato sauce...there was a time when I thought that was hard.
