Day 9 & 10

Day 9
Another dreary day in New Hampshire. I did have a lunch date with Liz, so that made the day so much better had I not had any social interaction. We met at the BVI and had a nice cozy lunch catching up on each other's lives. It was nice! She works a few minutes from where I live, so it was a convenient place for us to meet for lunch. 

Day 10
It SNOWED! And sleeted last night. So weird. And very chilly. 

The morning has been pretty productive. I feel super accomplished that I managed to find my SS card for my unemployment meeting on Friday.  I hadn't realized how completely chaotic and unorganized my fire safe was until I did decide to search for my SS card. So, I managed to categorize the items in it, and make file folders, so it isn't so stressful to find something in there. 

I hadn't really thought about what I was placing in my fire safe, and was surprised how many obituary remembrance cards and handouts from funerals were in there. I also have quite a few things from our wedding. And I totally forgot I had a copy of my mother's will as well. Many memories in that safe. And photos that I didn't even realize I had. 

Job Related Activities
I applied to another job, this one in Lawrence. It took me over and hour to fill out their extremely lengthy application online. They asked me questions I had never been asked before-like extensive details of my skill set. That was weird, but I managed to figure out what to say. I don't think I included enough information, but it was good practice if I have to do another application that might be similar. It gave me the option of saving the entire application to a pdf, which I greatly appreciated. 

I agreed to work freelance for Divine Word Missionaries too. I enjoy working with the client, and I am going to need some income soon anyways. I just want to play it safe seeing things never go as you hope they will in life. I just hope this year will be no more eventful than it already has been. 

Tomorrow is the big day for my interview for the part-time position in Concord.

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.
