A brief explanation

Hello, it's the author here. If you don't want to read a non-Pat statement, that's ok, just skip down to the newest story below. I just felt that I should write a short note about some behind-the-scenes stuff which is unrelated to Pat but is affecting Pat. I decided three weeks ago that I am quitting my job. It is not able to sustain me and my wife and I've come to the conclusion that it never will. I know this is just about the worst time to do what I'm doing, but I'm not getting any younger and I would really like to have children here some day soon. It's a pretty scary time for my wife and I, but we'll get through it. I'm not writing this to dwell on that fact, though, but to explain to you. I am spending about 3 hours a day looking for jobs. I am sending resume after resume in the hopes that my wife and I will land somewhere good soon. Because of that, though, I have less time and brain power lately to spend on Pat. This does not mean that I will stop writing. As I said before, writing Pat is probably as much a release for me as reading it is for you. All this means is that I probably won't be able to update as much and as regularly as I have been for the past few months. This will last until I find a job. Hopefully, that will only be a couple months. I will update as much as I can. I'll be honest, though, finding a job is priority number one right now.
Thanks for reading.

Your stories are one of the few things that has caught my attention on the Internet, but I don't mind at all that you might take some R&R to look for a job. So good luck with that.

Each morning I check to see if you've updated. I'll keep checking even if you're not doing it regularly and once you get that nice job and return, I'll still be here.

Good luck on finding a job. I don't know what you are applying for and where, but try directing your search to Texas. Housing is affordable with plenty of room to grow. Texas also produced 80% of the nations jobs last year. Just a thought....
Oh, and thanks for writing. I hope that everything works out for you and your wife.

Good luck with the job hunt! I sympathize with you. Hopefully, this new change in career will be towards something that makes use of your wacky imagination and rambling yarns.
