Tuesday, Tuesday ...
Last week I got all my 'need to do right now' stuff done. On Friday I bought seven fruit trees and got them in the ground. I've been watering them daily and this morning finally got some mulch around all of them. Just about every day I've had an interview or something of the sort. In a few minutes I need to jump in the shower and clean up before heading off to one in Bartlesville for a company I've never heard of. Their recruitment efforts have not impressed me, but I'll keep working the job market until I have an offer letter in hand I want to accept. Speaking of which, I continue to expect getting an offer by the end of this week. Or two.
Unemployment money has started coming in and next week I'll get Indian commodity foods. I finished my taxes (yay big refund coming!) and got all the right print outs but still haven't mailed them off. I only have so many mental resources and motivation to apply to things. Things that don't take much resources: yesterday I watched the pilot for Lie To Me and most of the second episode. I think these will help not only my writing, but me as a person, interacting with people. I am really, really bad at faces. For several years now I've been looking off and on for a resource that would show me people's faces and the emotion they were displaying. I need to study those. Lie To Me so far is helpful because they show just that, labeling it and calling attention to it. It's like a little class on how to tell what emotion someone is displaying. Big help to me - whether they're telling the truth or lying isn't something I care about as much as basic emotion identification.
My big goal for this week, in addition to keeping interview commitments and taking care of the kids, is to catalog and list all the marital property. We're supposed to divide it this weekend. Also, the ex has been leaning on me to pay him off before all the paperwork is finished. He dragged his feet for well over a year, telling me he was going to make this process as long as possible and now he's in a hurry? Of course, he's finally run out of money, which is why. I'm not about to pay him off without the paperwork signed, because if I do, then he'll just go right back to dragging his feet. Right now I finally have leverage to get him to finalize.
Things are still looking very good for me. I'm healthy, have money, and have been very busy.
