Wish Me Luck!

I have two job interviews today. Yesterday I received two phone calls within 20 minutes of each other setting me up with one phone interview and an in-person interview. Both of these positions I just applied for like last Thursday! Both postitions would also have me working at the University that I am graduating from. I would actually really love that. I would be able to be around the "college" environment. It pays shit, but it would be working for the state, and you can't really beat those benefits. I should probably be nervous, right? But I'm not really. I'm much better on the phone than I am in person because I don't have to worry about what my "body" is doing. So, I'll have that phone interview first, and it will be great practice for the live one a few hours later.

Do I really, really want this job? No, not really. I feel like I will be settling, and that doesn't make me happy. Especially since I've got Gabby to support, and she's going to need a college fund someday. This is kind of like back when I took some temporary work while off season from my regular job, and they offered to make me a permanent employee. But it wasn't very much money (however, if I had taken it, I would probably be making a lot of money right now...DAMN!), but I decided that I should go back to school and get my education taken care of. I left what I thought was a low paying job for something that I thought would make me more. So, what to do, what to do...take something that doesn't pay crap and wait for something "more"??? We'll see...let me see if I even get the job first!

I have seriously never felt as alone in my life as I did last night. And I shouldn't have because JC and I watched About a Boy, and I was feeling pretty good about the fact that I'm not an "island", and I have a lot of "back-up"...but then JC left, and I felt something I had never felt before...like the deepest, innermost, depression I have ever felt. I crawled into bed with my eyes wide open...because I thought I felt and saw something that I hadn't seen or felt before...It was more like a realization...there were no tears, no sense of even wanting to cry...just this deep down realization about how alone I really am in the long run...in the whole scheme of things...Or, let me change that...I have the best family in the world, so I know I'm not really alone. It was more like realizing that what and where I thought I took my "socialness", my "back-ups" from are fake. And I'm not happy. Just plain not happy. And something has to be remedied. I have some ideas on what, but not sure what to do.

School's finishing....not sure what you want to do next....job interview pressure....people constantly asking you what your going to do next, and the unescapable feeling that everyone else has their shit together except you.
Just don't do what i did and wind up working half the year for the IRS.
Love ya,

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
