Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

I started off this week with two interviews scheduled. One down, one to go. I think the one yesterday went really well. I met some...um...rather interesting people. One whol told me that he had never interviewed for a secretary position before...he usually works with professionals. Great guy! I thought at first that my interview on Friday was for an internship, but I've done some research, and it is no...it's the most perfect entry level position that I could EVER ask for! I want it, I want it, I want it!!! I would be able to use everything I learned in school, and it's perfect. Except I would have to move to north Austin.

WoW! I haven't been here in forever! I had something ridiculous like 400 unread emails when I finally checked today. I will be bringing my dad my computer to fix sometime this weekend.

JC looks good...the whites of his eyes are almost back to...well..white. We've had some amazing things and conversations going on...happy, happy, happy. I know I'm supposed to love Gabby, but...I'm being very sarcastic...I do love her more than life...but she's very...um...let's just say challenging at the moment. JC helped her with her homework last while I relaxed for once...he's so good with her...he should definitely be a father someday...but I think he really needs to look into education as something to do with his life. He's so good with them, and at explaining things with patience. He was doing all the things with Gabby that usually make me scream.

Toodle...catch up more when I can...can't wait to have my computer back!

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

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...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
