Life can be a Pain

.Thanks @outlander and @Faith-and-Hope

The adrenaline - of course - why did I not think of that

I like talking - I like it even better when I have something to say and I was asked all these interesting questions

Now that it's nearly time to go to bed I feel okay - tired but that's normal at this time of day - esp when I got up so early

I made a big pot of vegetable soup when I got home - that is my staple this winter - I actually added sprouts - they really add flavour if you like them -

It will be great to go to bed though - I wonder if I can get there without Companion Cat who wants to sleep in the tiny space between me and the edge of the bed - she is a cat after all and who can figure them out - right now she is asleep on my fleecy lined jacket and if I leave the light on and just sneak off quietly I might just have the bed to myself for a while

Some things give me a good feeling really - and this interview today did

Hi again @outlander

Yes - I would like to have the Queen Bed to myself - I haven't figure out why the cat wants to sleep in such a small space when there is so much bed there - I get a King Bed in my hotel room - but I bet if the cat had that much bed she would still want to sleep in the tiny space

Anyway - she is in love with the fleecy lining of my jacket - it's getting to the stage when it needs to be replaced and I think I will keep it for her bed after I get another jacket\

I'll be sneaking off soon

Good on you for being able to help out with the interview you went to. I used to be a research officer and I know how important such face-to-face interviews are to collect and collate information when devising new research questionnaires/surveys or afterwards getting more detailed answers to questions for qualitative purposes.

A great thing to be involved in @Owlunar as I am sure you would have a lot to offer

Thanks @Zoe7

I feel really good about it today - I would like to get back into research more - I always loved doing it as part of my degree - I love a search and it would be really different now that so much is done on-line

I do a lot of research on-line now regardless - yes - I thought about taking on more study but it's late in life - there are things that interest me everywhere and one thing might leads to another - who knows

Life goes past so quickly - my gran used to say that when we are young the years are slow but the days are fast - according to her when people are older the years are fast and the days are slow - but to me the whole thing is rushing past at warp speed

So yes - I want to study what interests me - and I do

Yes - cats love small spaces @outlander - and this one snuggles and I love that -

I try and encourage her to snuggle on the other side but no - even the wheat pack doesn't encourage her away from the tiny space

Rivers have some great jackets right now - the last couple of weeks have been unusual - next week I have stuff I need to attend to and maybe I will get to Rivers

I have thought of buying things on line but when it comes to clothes I like to feel the fabric - and see if it really fits - definitely have things to do soon - I need new bathers

Oh yes - last night she figured out I had gone to bed really quickly - she is one switched on cat - I can't put much past her - cats get clever when they get old

My second degree was Social Research @Owlunar - learning the different methods to devise, collect and collate both quantitative and qualitative data - it was more in depth of course than the research methods we use to complete essays or simple surveys - the statistcal side of things was easy to grasp and I found that I was quite good at observational tasks and analysis - did quite a bit of that to help others in their own research - particularly in working with small groups. Often what others don't say but there reactions to things are just as important as what is said.
