Day 8 - Motivation

Over the weekend, I did purge quite a bit of things from the house that I plan on donating to Goodwill. Purging is always a good excuse to go to Goodwill. I am itching to go and see if I can find a cute interview outfit. I do have quite a few things that are new from the clothing swap I could wear, but I really want to wear something that is NOT black. Most of my interview clothing is black, and it is Spring! Who wants to wear black?

The plan for today is to go Goodwill, grocery shop, yoga and try to finish up as much as possible of our taxes. I always end up having Steve finish them, because I am always nervous that I may have left something out or entered something incorrectly. Luckily, you can log in and out and it saves what you have entered. Phew! Otherwise, our procrastination would be even more stressful.

The morning job search has not been very good. Not too many new jobs out there specifically for my skill set. I have got to start learning Word Press. Or figure out a new career field to entertain. Either way, I will have to learn something new. So I either have to teach myself or go back to school. And I hate to even consider the latter, because I hate school. The reason being is I have a terrible memory, resulting in a very poor testing ability.

So, I guess I shall hit the road and hunt for something Spring-like to wear for my Thursday evening interview!

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
