Day 39 & 40 -- Another Interview Day

Day 39
Before I prepared for my interview, I was able to run to the store for a few things, and scored some prosciutto that was mislabeled as ham for $1.39. That was awesome.

I really enjoyed my interview with the Union Leader. My first impression of the interviewer was a very kind and easy going lady. I already felt better in the first five minutes than I did at the other interview the day before.

Afterwards, I decided to stop by Savers again, and see if I could find another interview dress. I didn't find an interview dress, but I found a book and an adorable 'little black dress' that is very figure flattering. I can't wait to wear it. I love the neckline especially.


Day 40
Ah, it was nice not having to get up and get ready for anything this morning. Today was all about getting stuff done for the weekend.

I hadn't been to the transfer station in probably a month if not two. I had a lot to recycle and trash. I had gone through the closets a few months back and found any and all boxes I felt like I needed to keep for shipping purposes, etc... Most were rather small, so most likely would never end up being used for anything.
The extended cab of the truck was filled to the top with recycling. And the back was mostly recycling too, and our old vacuum cleaner from college that I finally decided I should take to its final resting place.

Afterwards, I took a very heavy empty bottle of CO2 to Air Gas, so I could get a full, even HEAVIER bottle of CO2, so we can have carbonated beverages this weekend.

That totally wore me out. So, I ended the afternoon with a restful nap. Now, I am revived to spend the evening with the man. It's so nice out, We may end up eating out on the back porch. Spring is here! And I am loving it!

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.
