Update on My Life in Morro Bay

If anyone has been following this blog, I apologize for not updating it until today. It has been about 9 months since I moved down here and a lot has happened, some of it not so good but most of it great.

First of all I have to say that I love living here in Morro Bay. My cottage has worked out perfectly, if you don't count a bout with mushrooms in my bathroom!! I love living in a town where I can walk almost anywhere. I have decided to try all the restaurants and review them here. I will also review any businesses that I use. I participated in the city-wide yard sale a couple of weekends ago and made almost $800, just enough to pay my taxes!! The weather is nice and cool, unless you count today when it neared 100 degrees. One good thing about the cottage is that even though it heats up fast, it cools down just as quickly. The sunsets are fantastic, and I love being so close to the beach. I love being able to see the stars in my backyard. There are plenty of groups with activities that I have been attending. It is peaceful, and if you don't count the murder last month, it is a safe place.

However, I need to inform my readers that I lost the job that allowed me to move to this great city. I was on probation and was "let go", so I qualified for unemployment. I was really lucky that I was let go when I was because I was able to use my former job to calculate my unemployment income. I am also lucky that I have medical benefits from my former job. I have a part-time position out of the area which is helping to make ends meet, but I am currently job-hunting in the area. I have been unemployed for about 5 months and will now have to start to search outside my area of expertise.

Cross your fingers crossed ...
