Good news and bad news

Time for some catching up.

The good news:

  • Our last tax return showed NMSU that I need lots more financial aid.
  • NMSU gave me lots more financial aid, including work study money.
  • I now qualify as a New Mexico resident, so I can take more than six credit hours and still pay in-state tuition. I’m signed up for 16 credit hours this term.
  • The NMSU Engineering department desperately needs a computer networking guy, and here’s this student with 20 years of experience who’s eligible for hire since he’s now a full-time student with work study money.
  • They hired me.
  • My fabulous wife Anna continues to build her life coaching and editing businesses. She now has repeat customers and books on the shelveswith her name in them.
  • Honeywell bought my textbooks this year.

The bad news:

It could be a whole lot worse. For me and Anna, but perhaps not for Charis. She loves cats.
