Sounds like good progress, askye. NC, you say? It's a lovely place to live.
Managed to get off my butt and got to Petco 5 min to closing. I was not the last customer out, I was efficient!
Am now cooking and doing laundry. Won't get to bed on time, but I'll have gotten pretty much everything done I needed to.
Yeah smonster - my Mom, brother and nephew are there. It's not as hot as Florida but close enough to get to Florida. It looks a lot like Vermont (which is a plus, I like the mountains).
Not sure where exactly close enough to be a part of everyone's lives but also where a Best Buy will be. The idea being I'll transfer to a store there and then use that as a spring board to find another job. Then I don't have to worry about moving to another state and finding a job.
NC, sounds like a good idea Askye.
Sounds like a very good plan.
Going to bed about an hour late: did everything but work out (oops) and get Frankie's claws trimmed (so overdue and I can't do it alone). Considering I had a migraine yesterday and a panic attack today, I will take it. Good night, all.
One of my cousins commented on one of my facebook posts about my job hunt that I should share a "vision, desire, affirmation" of what I want to happen. I am not responding, because I don't think I can respond without profanity at this point. I think I'm up to 60 applications sent out.
Ah, yes, things won't happen unless you tell the universe you want them, so if they don't happen you obviously didn't ask right.
Why do people with such faith in the Universe think it's such a dumbass?
"Life should come with a guarantee--return unused portion for a full refund."
That cracks me up, erika. We only wish!
Packing~ma, Hil, and job~ma, too.
askye, that sounds like a great plan. And NC is very beautiful! I often think of retirement along the eastern seaboard; I love the weather and it's so pretty.
Oof. Got some awful news this morning about a family who lived down the block from us growing up, and who we are still very close with. They had two sons, Luke and Matt. Matt, the younger son, was killed in a bike accident in Chicago about five years ago. He was about 28, engaged, an up and coming chef. It was just a terrible shock, and I'm not sure his mom Barbara, who is an awesome and strong and caring woman, has ever quite come back from it.
Can you see where this is going?
Luke was killed yesterday in an avalanche in Jackson Hole. He was head of the Wyoming Conservation Fund, and an avid skier. I am just wrecked. And I can't even begin to process what his parents are going through right now. It's just so unreal, and so unfair, and it seems like there should be something someone could
do
but there's not and that's not how it works.
