Good morning, everyone. I made it through Mother's Day relatively unscathed.
I had a great time catching up with my younger daughter at dinner. She's being promoted to charge nurse on her unit. She texted afterward, saying "I'd gotten you a card, but then at the bottom it said 'Happy Birthday'!" I told her I'd be happy to get any sort of card from her, at any time.
I'm still anxiously looking for new work. In the meantime I still am getting assignments. (To clarify, as an independent contractor I try to stay connected to about 4–5 publishing services at a time. In the past 18 months I've lost two with no warning and have to replace them ASAP. I procrastinated with replacing the first one. That was unwise.) Today's assignments look difficult. When the author has trouble mastering English, and their field of expertise is complicated (e.g., engineering), that's a tough mix.
Our weather is beautifully warm and sunny, but the winds are supposed to be quite high (30+ mph [48+ kmh]) all the way through the weekend. It gets a little irritating trying to do anything outdoors. But at least we don't have any snow!
I hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start.

Yesterday I went forth and rode, and brought back pics, but they won't load!!!
Frustrating.
The ride to Stanley Lake was about ~150 miles round trip and the first ride of the year that didn't require my grip and seat heater. 60 or so antelope in several groups were spotted, 2 mule deer both feeding in the borrow pit next to the road in the twisties(thanks to the motorist that flashed headlamps as a warning), one immature bald eagle, and an osprey.
The Forest Service was out doing some small controlled burns, but the wind picked up out of Rx so they stopped.
Northbound traffic was heavier so the "slack" btwn tourist seasons is not quite as slack as it's been. Lots of people already escaping the oncoming heat w temps at 90°F in the nearby population centers. It's going to be a long hot, smoky summer!!
Today work out, and the business of life!
