Got an interview for that tech writing job. We'll see how it goes. I know I can do the job, but that doesn't mean I will get the job, or even that I should take the job. Possibilities, probabilities, choices, decisions...everything just makes me want to take a nap.
Gorgeous day here in Seattle. I'm heading out to the deck to ignore the mess, read my book, and have some coffee. It's too late in the day for me to be drinking coffee, but I just can't resist. Tomorrow, I'll get a new battery for my camera, and new planner pages from Franklin Covey. They're having a special where they're giving free planner pages to people who are out of work.
But today, I'll just spend time with a mystery and an americano...

Where does the time go...
So many plans, and so much time, but it doesn't feel that way. Somehow, time just gets away from me.
I had a phone interview for a tech writing job. I should hear something next week. I also did some research into certificates in web development, and what I would need to do that while on unemployment. Since it's retraining, I should be able to do it, and get some ASL classes in, too, I hope. It's not often that I have daytime hours to take classes, and the ASL classes are only offered during the day, so I'd like to take what I can toward an interpreter's certificate while I have the time.
Passover was wonderful, and a quick trip. My favorite kitty sitter is just too expensive now that I'm not working, so I like to keep trips short. It's always wonderful seeing family, and the trip home was uneventful. My DH gave up his seat on the return flight to Seattle, and got an extra ticket plus a bonus so we should be able to get back east this June. I'm anxious to see my brother, and my cousin said we could crash with her family while we're in town. That makes it much more feasible, since hotel rates in NYC are far from affordable when there's no regular income happening.
Had a wonderful night tonight. I went to a friend's house for dinner and a quick game of Texas Hold'em Dreidel. What a blast. I used to see these folks every day at work, but now I miss them all the time. It was so very good to just hang out with them again, though I did wish I also had to head to work tomorrow. Oh, well. Soon enough, I'm sure.
Weight is heading in the right direction, anyway, so I'm getting back on track, but still taking things one day at a time. Some days I have so much energy, and some days I could sleep all day long. Here's hoping that the coming week brings good news and happy tidings for everyone.

Playing catch-up
Celebrating Shabbat was wonderful - but a little overwhelming. That night, we had a lovely dinner and discussion, and my DH played poker with the teens for a while, too. It was a very cozy evening, and the next day was action-packed. If it were anything other than Shabbat, I would have said a debauch, since the food and drink didn't stop all day. We walked from house to house, and I met some amazing people, but was just pooped by the time I got home. My DH had already left for the eastside, so we didn't get to see each other that day. That was not optimal, but there's just so much wonderful stuff you can fit in a single day.
The following week was a bit of a roller coaster. Emotionally, I'm not as consistent as I wish I were. I am still deciding what to do next, and it's great to have options, but knowing how to approach them is a puzzle...Some days I'm just not up to anything, but I am getting my rest. My weight, however, is taking a back seat, as I went up a bit again this week. I'm trying to get better, but now it's Passover, and my aunt is going to cook up something wonderful because that's just the way she is! I'm just going to have to be good when I can and not beat myself up when I'm not.
Hopefully, I'll get better about keeping up with the blog, too. I think it helps me to think out loud here, at least that's how it's turned out. I was planning on documenting our outings to restaurants and theaters, but there won't be too much of that until I get a job, so I'm just playing it by ear.
