Weekend Update Returns to the Fold

jon_chaissonI'm glad I decided to take a few weeks off from blogging and other things, as I definitely needed it. I let myself mentally calm down a bit and focus on the important personal things. I hated that I also had to do it due to Day Job stress, but I'm (hopefully) past that avalanche of work and I don't have to worry about it for now. Everything is relatively back to normal, so I'm going to return to our Regularly Scheduled Blog Posts.
[Speaking of Day Job: I haven't heard a peep yet out of the official move-back-to-office date, which is also relieving stress, but I'm too nervous to say anything about it for fear that I'll jinx it. *knocks on wood*]
The job search has been interesting. Due to being so busy the last few weeks I haven't submitted my resume nearly as much as I'd like to, but I've at least sent it once or twice a week when I find a posting that intrigues me. Right now I'm getting email notifications from a few websites (including Google itself -- and I've had some good hits with it!) and now and again I'll pop onto a corporate website and check their Careers links. I haven't had any responses as of yet, but I'm giving everyone a bit of a buffer time here, considering it's holiday season. I'm sure I'll hear from someone eventually. [I'm still seeing a number of those particular jobs posted, so I'm going to assume this is the case.]
Once I finally switch jobs, at that point I'll finally start implementing more changes to my life and writing that I've had in mind. Once I'm settled, then I can figure out a new writing regimen; I can figure out when I can hit the gym, when the insurance kicks in, and all that. I'm planning on 2019 being a year of personal change.

Anyhoo! Hope everyone had a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend, and has a good upcoming week!
