I went back to the gym today for the first time in 15 days. It was awful. I felt awful, but a good awful, if that makes sense. I only did 30 minutes of cardio as sort of a "welcome back to the gym" and to kind of get me into the swing of things again. My body feels like it's starting over from square one but I know that I'll start to feel better again in about a week. Let me tell you- it's going to be a hard week.
I have to call Leroy again today. I never received a call yesterday or a response to my email. Methinks he's really busy- he's running one person short- so I'm not concerned about his lack of follow up.
Kristine texted me to let me know that her church is having a Parents' Night Out on Friday. It might be just what the doctor ordered. While I do need my alone time, alone time with Allen is a great first step.
My mom is gone today to take her mom shopping. I have the house to myself- at least until 4:30ish. It's so quiet, and so cold. I'd turn up the heat but God forbid I forget to turn it down, you'd think I was 16 again.
I'm really hoping for this job at Minor & James but I'm also putting God in control. He is in control of my life and I need to constantly remind myself of that. I'm sure he has a great job for me and if this isn't it, I'm sure a better one will come along soon.
This whole cycle of interviewing/phone screening for a job, getting your hopes up, and then not getting the job is tiresome. I'm just praying to be numb to everything, because I just don't have it in me emotionally any more. I don't think people who are employed understand how hard it is out there, and the longer you're unemployed to worse it looks. How can I explain a two-year gap without asking to be discriminated against (as illustrated at Key Bank and U-Haul)?
Any ways, numb.
My back has been hurting a lot lately. I'm trying to correct my posture and it's helping a little bit but at the end of the day, I hurt a lot. I hope it's not permanent. I know having giant nursing boobs on a tiny little frame doesn't help.
Allen is training today for his Diet Tech position. He wasn't too thrilled about going into work today, but he definitely wants the money.
I should probably dry my hair now and get on this call to Leroy before Alana wakes up.
I hope everyone is having a blessed day.
