Is it only Tuesday?
Well, this day has started quite oddly. Jordan and I went to the house that Bill has moved out of, and put everything (almost) that had been left out for the DAV to come collect. There is a sectional couch, and assorted stuff. Ugh. That all had to be done at dawn. (DAV will not enter the house.) The house is for sale, and should have the carpets cleaned and the walls painted, or at least touched up decently. However, I don't really want to put any money into what is probably a lost cause. It's beyond frustrating. I will be thrilled if DAV takes everything... I am a bit worried that they might leave a few things, and then I'd have to dispose of them.
Then I drove my bad self to my therapy appointment. After sitting in the office for 15 minutes while the staff was getting things going for hte day, I was told that my therapist is on vacation. Well, that's inconvenient. So strange.
I applied for a job at the school. There were two positions open. One was helping with disabled kids (I think) and the other was just being a teacher's assistant. I would be good at either job, but my application was looking a bit thin. I haven't worked in about 5 years, and before that, it was even longer. I filled things out with my volunteer work (I have a lot of that!) and practical applications of the job requirements. We'll see... I did my best with what I had. (I really would be good at either of those jobs.) I got a really good person to use as a reference, too. She's well known in the community and she likes me. ;) What is really goofy is that I am a bit reticent to start something new while Mercury starts to go retrograde. I'm thinking a paycheck might override that nagging feeling, though.
Zack comes home this Friday. I'm really looking forward to having long conversations with strange Zack-like topics such as Non-Linear Time. He's home for maybe 3 weeks before he returns to college for the Fall semester.
Jordan is sleeping on the couch for the next two weeks... then off to college, too. He has orientation on Friday, and is getting very anxious in preparation to fly the coop. I wish I knew how to help him better. It feels like he's really lost in all of this mess and that he no longer has A Place as he no longer has a room with his own stuff in it. I understand he's a big boy and he's growing up and all of that, but he is certainly getting an abrupt shove and I'd be more comfortable if I could provide him A Place for a little while longer. He has so much to figure out about his life still.
Keegan is lying on the floor, rolled up in her blanket and waiting to use the computer.
goodthings:
-our inheritted welcome mat has most of the letters worn off and it just says We Me.
-Took the kids out to dinner last night at the new Mexican place in town... and we decided to stay loyal to our favorite place where the food is so much better!
-Finally saw the new Project Runway.
-Hung some things on the walls.
-Jordan listening to marching band music... because he's just that dorky.
