Another Nice Day in the Tower
Today I had a job interview! It was for an agency I have been wanting to work with for most of my adult life, and I wanted the job so much, I'm afraid I may have completely flubbed the interview. I am never nervous at an interview, but I was nervous at this interview. The supervisor conducting the interview was a nice person. If I don't get this job, I feel it will be because it is not meant to be mine. I believe God puts us where he wants us, if we let Him.
I came home and spent some recovery time, and then did pre-Thanksgiving cleaning. We won't have many guests, but they are important. I look forward to cooking tomorrow with my son, who likes to make pastry. We will have pumpkin, berry, and buttermilk pies. I will prepare the cornbread for dressing, and prep the green bean casserole.
My fennel has emerged as a fine, thin blade of green in the garden., A planter of herbs has also sprouted, all started from seed. I am wondering if the garden I planted will grow plants large enough to resist our first frosts, which may come sometime in the next 40 days. Plants grow more slowly in the shorter days of weaker winter sunlight. If I protect the plants through the winter, they will be really strong in the spring and summer, and produce much more than if I planted in spring.
I looked at some jewelry-making items at Michael's today, just to see what types of things they have now. I seldom buy materials there because I can't afford to pay retail prices for my hobby. I was struck by how much variety there was, compared to only five years ago. I saw quite a bit of chain, storage items, and even books that I would have bought had I had any funds. I love the Pandora-type bracelets with beads and charms that are interchangeable. I think a personalized piece of jewelry is just cool.
I ran out of some of my vitamins and didn't have them for about four days, and really felt the difference. I snapped some up today, and I think that's how I had the energy for all of the aforementioned activity. I will not make that mistake again...
