random things that are going on with my life...
1. I am anxiously awaiting word about a job interview I did last week. Also for an update on another more or less the same job posting I put in for. The interview went okay, I'm pretty sure, but not totally "knock it out of the park awesome". But I don't know how many other people are getting interviewed, if it's not that many I think my chances are great, but if it's like 50 people I'm probably screwed.
2. Still in very poor health. I've at least determined that my adrenal gland is in serious distress, thyroid condition is inconclusive, and this might even be tied into uterus/sex hormones problems as well, BUT I can't afford to deal with it right now, and I'm really hoping I get one of these two job openings so I can have health insurance - then I would mostly only have to pay for copays and I would have way, way more money to spend on my expenses period.
Going on vacation recently did lift my mood a bit. Feeling like I have some hope of getting away from my crappy job is undoubtedly helping too, though I suspect if I get rejected on both, my mood will get bad again. Will try to keep some hope in that case though, at least it seems like a lot more openings will be coming within my company again, and if I don't find something soon, will probably see what I can find outside of the company.
Funnily enough, the most exciting part of the trip might have been finding out how completely wrong I've been about my bra size for probably at least a decade. Although I did get to see some pretty places in Arkansas. And it was nice seeing my family although I was also pretty ready to leave after just over a week (still nonstop drama over there and my 4 year old nephew is cute but also a mini-Lucifer with scary amounts of energy and evil creativity)
3. Vampire Diaries has EATEN MY BRAIN. I have a terrible crush on this show. I'm beginning to think that the TV series is way better than the books, actually. If you are NOT watching this show (which you totally should try, just get past those first three awful episodes and you will fall in love!), I totally agree with ignipes on her reasons why this show is pure awesome.
If you are watching Supernatural, this show has a lot of the same draws, only better, I was shocked to discover. Hey, at first I thought this show was going to be crap cliches, but after the first several episodes, and especially getting into the second half of the season, the actors visibly start to get comfortable in their roles, and the overall writing and plots improve very exponentially. Hmm, kind of like Supernatural. (Apologies to that subset of SPN fans for whom the first season is their favorite) Only this show doesn't hate women and minorities. (Hey, I still love Supernatural, but the show really does have those flaws.)
4. Getting pretty close to picking a wedding location, mostly just been too busy and stressed to make myself come to a decision. Working on finding a house & moving, switching from very expensive rent to a cheaper mortgage. Seriously thinking about getting a cat.
5. Attempts to lose weight not going well, between high stress and major lack of willpower. :( The weather is getting reasonably warm finally, so I need to at least work on walking more for my health, if nothing else, but I hope to get gym access this year, and find the inner strength to seriously crack down on bad eating habits. It would probably help a lot if I could switch to a protein heavy diet, but it's very much against my natural tendencies.
