Day 45 & 46 -- Recovering from the weekend

Friday and the entire weekend was dedicated to Gumbo Fest. It was a nice time. We had fun with our friends, and as always, not as many people showed up as were expected. It was nice to see Sudha, Jagan, Addy and baby Krish. We haven't seen them in over a year, which is way too long. I don't want to post photos of other people, as I don't have their permission, and these folks just LOVE having their photo taken. It was good to see everyone.

We spent the entire day recovering in bed. I got up to file my unemployment information and answer a few emails. But that was about it. We did finally make it out of bed and go out to dinner at La Carreta. I also asked Steve if we could stop for some ice cream. I am such a sucker to the New England trend enjoying some ice cream in the Spring and Summer. I very rarely went out for ice cream in Missouri or Oklahoma. 

Since the entire weekend was devoted to Gumbo Fest, I didn't accomplish much laundry. I also need to finish putting things away and doing the final round of dishes. Mopping must occur as well since lots of dirt was tracked in the house. 

This morning, I will be going to my required meeting to assess my reemployment and eligibility. I have to dress as though I am going to a real-life interview too. Blah. I am not a morning person. Time to get dressed!

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.
