Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I have put on some fake nails for my interview tomorrow, my nails were shot from the moving and unpacking. I've read up on the job description and now I think I'll go get my outfit ready and have a shower.

Interview is at 10 tomorrow, so I should have time to leisurely get ready in the morning.

I feel loved. Two different recruiters have reached out to me for the same position. The second one is a woman of color, and I think I'd prefer to work with her, but I can't after I've already talked to the other guy (who is perfectly nice), right?

good luck tomorrow, msbelle!

Vortex, I don't know what the protocol is for that.

Hey. New board.

but I can't after I've already talked to the other guy (who is perfectly nice), right?

I think you can. They are essentially interviewing for a job with YOU at this point and if you thought the second one was a better fit then you should be able to go with them.

Didn't there used to be late morning movies? My Father-in-Law is taking ltc to karate and lunch tomorrow, and I thought maybe we could catch a movie but nothing starts until after they're due home.

Dcp, I should've asked for a disk! But my doc is supposed to review them and then let me know. The tech sounded like there was definitely inflammation, but whether it is an unexpected level or just "well yeah you're still healing", I don't know. And whether anything can be done about it is also a question I don't know. Fingers crossed there's an easy answer.

Last night I went to this thing called "crowdsource choir"—about 30-40 folks showed up and a guy taught us 3 and 4 part harmony for "I wanna know what love is" and then we sang it. And it was so much fun!! I'm not sure I want to join a regular choir and show up all the time and feel like I have to sing super well, but it was so fun to be singing in harmony and hearing other people in a better way than karaoke?

Our wings are not tired.

That sounds fun, meara. Also, hope you get a plan with answers from the doctor.

I'm super unproductive today and will likely have to make up for it this weekend. Miserable because I got several bites of some kind and tore up my arm because I have no self-control when it comes to itching. Made a nice blood blister on the side of my finger. I have a nail appointment this afternoon so I may have my SIL lance it since she is good at that kind of stuff. Also, moan, cry, complain in big baby fashion.

interview went well. I forgot to ask what the timeline was for hiring. fingers crossed.

I have put food in my belly, now I need to decide what to tackle in the house. I think today is a master bedroom day. get that place settled so it is a calm and comfy place.

That sounds so fun, meara!

Work is eating my brain. I never know what day it is anymore. And I am way overscheduled this weekend, with fun stuff that I want to do, but still, a lot of stuff. So I don't expect to be really clearheaded for the foreseeable future

I had to capture one of the last two alley cats behind my building this morning and take him to the vet for an injured/infected foot. He was Not Happy, and may not trust me anymore after the terror of his first car ride. But, he's been treated with antibiotics, de-wormed, and neutered, with a clean bill of health other than the injury.
