Good Morning all!
Rough night of sleep. But you know, thank goodness I am strong and healthy (knocking on wood) and will get through whatever. It could be worse. I am battling circumstances right now that I do have the power to control somewhat.
I am feeling lost right now in this thread over my bombshell. So I will pick up from what I saw yesterday and today.
Trig- OMG over French! In a way I really do not see the "need" for a second language to get into college, but what do I know? Second French is flat out a hard one to get! They do this thing with their tongues and make a funny R sound. It is beautiful to hear people speak it. They could call you all sorts of names and smile and we would be like THANKS!!!! Yeah like that!
Sorry though you gotta have "THAT" talk with kiddo. Thing is we all gotta jump through those hoops life gives us. We may not understand the WHY, but we know the outcome.
I think this truly is maybe the first learning lesson of adulthood. She might be bucking the stupidity of it, but she needs to see this is just the start. There will be many "French" classes along the way. She just needs to dig in and get it done and move on to what she wants. She will. She is one tough cookie, that kiddo of yours!
Nic- I almost took out my phone and wanted to snap a pic at the Kroger yesterday over crab legs. You all would have laughed over it. SO, SAD! There were 3 and a HALF "clusters in the case. All were missing legs, one was in half, and all were skinny! Pitiful- at 14.99. Yeah- NOPE! Moved on to pot roast section.
I saw you did the WOE reset! How's it going? It is so frustrating to sit and spin, thinking you are eating right. Then along comes the bounce house. It takes FOREVER to lose it and seconds to pile it on! Keep going, one day at a time!
You are now back in MD in the "Big House". What going on up there? You decorating yet?
Lori- - wowsa on that cluster of nice days! I heard that up in your neck of the woods you are breaking temp records! That is great! You can just keep playing your game as long as the weather lets you!
Your DH out hunting again? Does he always go with somebody? Funny, all these hunters think they are going to EAT what they catch! So, gross! You need to give him a fishing pole! Now we are talking!!!!
I am shocked that Betty is holding her own. It must have been those beef and noodles you gave her. Beefed her up a bit!
Yup I am voting today too! I should have gone earlier, but now I have to suck it up and stand in line. My bad on that one, we had early voting too!
Hey if you go to Aldie's they have those Egg life wraps. I like the Southwestern ones! They are cheaper there than anywhere else.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So today is just so busy. I got up again at 4:30 in a panic over a fast move again!
I am good with moving on a dime, if I know it's coming. I didn't see this moving coming so fast. However, it is not a bad thing. The rent on this apt is horrible at 2K NOT including utilities. I was going to get a few bucks saved though before having to move out. Maybe a blessing in disguise. I just need to put the foot on the pedal.
I am thinking AGAIN, of putting stuff in storage for a few months. Building up some $$$ and then trying again to find a little place I want to go.
Trust me if given the opportunity to get a remote anywhere in GA I am taking that job. I will shut up, not complain, and be grateful for a change! LOLOLOLOLOL I know I had to laugh at that one too!
My interview is Wed. I then was told if it goes well they will make an offer in 24 hours. GOOD NEWS, at least I will know. The pay they are offering is not stellar. However, it comes with full benefits, Healthcare, 401, and option to work from anywhere= priceless! I even look at the saving of not having to put Ruger in doggie day at 500.00 a month as savings! I count it!
Ruger is not yet to the point of being able to "hold it" all day, Bella was. Not only that, but Ruger is also much more active and needs walks, play, ect than Bella. She slept all day and "woke up" when I got home and no worries. She was golden that way.
I really didn't worry about her the way I do Ruger. He is just still so puppy, and into everything! I have given him short periods where I leave him. I have gotten to 4 hours. He did good! So, it is coming along, but he def. needs walking and play.
So, back to the move. See how I get distracted! So, putting stuff in storage. I am thinking about using the Nurse Finders app. I use when traveling. They rent for 3 months and everything is included. They rent to nurses. I have found some great places on there and they don't charge and arm and leg. They are doing it for the $$, but also to assist nursing to be able to travel. There is also no "application fees, admin fees ect".
I can't use an extended stay, or motel when I get that job I want. I need to be able to plug in a hard wire to a modem, hotels don't have that. It is mandatory for security for the position. So there is that. Plus, those motels can really add up, and most are sketchy at best!
I will find a place and have it sealed up by the end of the month!
Today is voting, dog nails trimmed, and errands. Then back here to "hunt".
Tomorrow is interviews, and more job hunting. At some point I need to think about my requirements for my licensure. I have until Jan. Saving that for a rainy day! Not today- NEXT.
WOE- Hovering and stalled here at low. What I am NOT going to do is eat out of frustration, or angst. I am keeping the straight and narrow on this one. I feel so much better when dealing with life when my eating is clean.
Menu: Today- Pot Roast in Ipot. Will sear up in butter and then pressure cook. The roast looks really good. YUM!
That is it for this moment! - Always changing it seems.......
