EXHAUSTED

Nov 30, 2008 23:20

This weekend was so physically and emotionally exhausting.  First of all, I had 2 job interviews (and 1 more this week!)  I don't know how I went from having no job interviews to 3 in a span of a week.  I guess the cliche is right: when it rains, it pours.  And, I have no problem with it.  I really want the job as a Pathologist Assistant because I feel it will be the most interesting, challenging, rewarding, etc.  Not to mention the fact that it will pay more than double than the 2 other positions.  It'll be a 30 mile commute if I get that job but being the planner that I am, I've already figured out how I'm going to deal with it.  Thanks to the light rail that will start operating in the Valley, I won't really have to drive there that often.  I know I'll have to get up at 5 every morning to get to work on time but I don't care...  That's how much I want this job.

Anyways, in the midst of the Thanksgiving weekend preparations my grandma was hospitalized after fainting twice while she was on a walk with my uncle.  Her heart rate was so low when she got brought to the hospital that the doctors decided to keep her there a couple nights.  They weren't really able to determine what exactly happened but they're thinking it was related to her medications so they're going to play around with her medications and doses.  She's fine now but it still worries me because I feel like she's aged a lot recently.  My grandma has her quirks but I've learned to accept/ignore them.  It's just weird that she's so old that she doesn't fully understand things sometimes.  I'm just grateful that's she's okay for now.

The most physically exhausting aspect was having ALL of my family in the country come over for Thanksgiving.  It was a lot of fun but handling 30 Saquilayans in 1 house is draining.  It was cool though because the 11 of us "kids" got to hang out.  We went midnight shopping at Arizona Mills and spent the night at my brother's house.  Oh, I ended up going to the hospital again the day after Thanksgiving because my cousin and his wife had their 1st child!  Later that day, I went to my 5 year high school reunion.  It was fun but kinda weird at the same time.  I was dreading it because I was thinking everyone was just going to brag about all the great things they've done with their life but it wasn't like that at all.  I'm glad I went.

When it comes to the more emotionally exhausting aspects of my life, I'm still dealing with the stresses of living back at home.  When I decided to move back home rather than find my own place, I knew it would be hard but I didn't think it would be this hard.  I'll just have to deal with it I guess.

And lastly, I think I'm giving up on the guy.  I'm tired of the mixed messages.  He called/texted me a coupe times to go out on Wednesday but I couldn't because I had family in town.  On Friday, I asked him if he was doing anything and he said "no."  I then invited him out and all he said was "nope, not tonight."  I just don't know what to make of things so I'm not gonna keep my hopes up.  I'm all for taking things slow when it comes to relationships but I think it's ridiculous that we sometimes go weeks without seeing each other.  I don't know if we just have opposite schedules or if he's just not that interested.  If it's the latter, I'm just gonna have to give him up.  Though I have to remind myself often, I can't settle for someone who just "kind of" likes me.  I'm not trying to be conceited but I know I deserve better than that.  Everybody does.

Overall, it was a good weekend.  Definitely tiring so I'm glad it's almost over.  :)
