I’m a ball of nerves.
I’ve applied for a new job.
I did a ton of research, had four informational interviews about the position with the players involved, told my boss I’m seeking out a new job, and now I’m waiting to see if I’ll get called for a proper hiring interview.
I’ve been 15 years in my current museum position. I think I have wrung just about all I can out of it. This new job is in an adjacent field, one I’ve wanted to break into for a long time. It’s also one that, even in entry level positions, usually requires a specialized degree, which I don’t have. I DO have decades of experience in my current field. I’m hoping it’s enough.
It’s also a significant cut in my hours. This scares me.
But I’ve made up my mind. I HAVE to pursue this.
Am I too old to do this? Am I too old not to?

Is this dying? Is this all? Is this what I feared when I prayed against a hard death? Oh, I can bear this! I can bear this!

@benjhawkins found this lovely antique and likely locally made ladderback chair at a thrift store today and I drove like a fool over to take a look. Still in the original red paint and likely the original seat, with interesting long finials that remind me of the spokes on a ship’s wheel. She came home with us!

The most beautiful moose in all the land! This rare piebald was spotted near Falher, Alberta in Canada. Check out those eyes!
