Who needs to work when free time is so much fun
I've realized that I'm not that fond of being on the computer these days. I thought that being unemployed would bring me back to the internet realm, but it didn't. Instead, I've been reading a bunch of really bad fiction, playing game cube, and....hm...well there is more, but it mostly falls under the label of "hanging out." I've been sort of looking for a job, but not really that hard. And the funny thing about that is that I've had several things fall into my lap. I just need to make up my mind to actually do one or two of them. I've been busy too though. I've been trying to keep up with my husband's latest dental emergencies, which has lead to a lot of me sitting in waiting rooms and reading the afformentioned bad fiction. Also, I've thrown myself at my father's feet and do anything he asks me to. Drive him back from Canada, help him load cartridges, come give him a massage. But I don't really mind because I've gotten to spend loads of really good time with him. I'm walking with my Auntie twice a week. It is an unusual relationship, one that I wasn't sure about at first, but has become really good for me. Our walks and talks have lead me to introspection that I probably wouldn't otherwise make time for. Also, it makes me feel closer to civilization. It is nice, considering that our new apartment is so far out of town, that there is still someone close by that I know. I've taken to going to my mom's school and eating lunch with her once a week. This has also been eye opening and is a fairly good move on my part because there needed to be a space for just her and me. I go to Abby and Lane's once or twice a week and we play cards, or DS or we watch Lost. And on the weekends, Jon and I are traveling with the band or at Riley's Irish Pub, or watching numerous downloaded movies. It's a strange sort of busy that I'm getting used to, but probably shouldn't because it's all idle time.
The two job propositions I'm looking at right now are vastly different and both part time. One, is a massage job, of course. The other, a part time receptionist at an ultra sound clinic. If I could choose a receptionist position, an ultra sound clinic is probably one of the more interesting places to work. I should probably get on the ball and call them today.
What else....
Oh yeah, I'm fully recovered from my surgery. It really wasn't that bad of a recovery, more of a nuisance than anything. Not too much pain, and only 3 days of really severe nausea. I just couldn't move faster than a snail's pace for 3 weeks, but I'm definitely past the point of using it as an excuse for not working. =)The doctor told us we should probably try to have kids as soon as we can, but that everything in the reproduction department is in tact, so it shouldn't be a problem. That's something we'll probably think about working on soon. =)
I can't believe that it's already the first day of spring and that Easter is 4 days away. We've got a full weekend of traveling with the band before we head over to grampa's house in Wyoming for a few days. I regret that I have been a terrible granddaughter and never sent him a thank you card for his Christmas present and I don't ever call. I think when my children are young, I will get them into the habit of calling their grandparents to talk so that they will not feel as awkward as I do when I think about calling mine.
And since my moment of introspection already came and went for today, I think I'll be done writing. Good to catch up though.
