It’s been almost four months since I got laid off and I’m still sitting here. Mostly. I didn’t even look for a new job in May, since we had that Vegas trip planned. And I felt that I certainly deserved SOMETHING (a nice vacation) after that low-blow.

I did start looking in June and things started pretty well with a few interviews right away. Of course being ‘newly on the market’ I wasn’t in too much of a hurry and pretty picky, so I wasn’t upset when nothing further developed out of those interviews. But now I’ve been home for almost four months and I’m getting a bit bored. I’ve already straightened out my pantry, cleaned out under and behind washer and dryer, painted Phillip’s room and have shampooed the edge of the stairs twice. And in my very first week off, I trimmed the bushes out front and severed the satellite radio antenna cable. Still don’t have that working again despite buying 2 replacement antennas on eBay and Amazon. (I’m Thelma7180 on Ebay!!)

Today was the last time this pool season that the pool was open during the week. Ridiculous – this is southern Texas and the weather would be good enough for swimming smack into late October. Maybe I should start attending the community meeting and tell them how I feel….. Anyway, so now that the pool is only open on weekends, I’m available Mo – FR for EMPLOYMENT. I want a nice new job that has comparable pay and benefits to my old one, and is as close to the house I can get it. Or downtown – working downtown would be cool. I love San Antonio, it’s such a beautiful city, and downtown and the Riverwalk are the best. I applied for an EA job at Goodwill (twice) and Goodwill is right there by the Mexican Market. How cool would that be? To answer that, all I can say is: “That would be VERY cool!!!”

The next question I have is: “Why am I awake (again) at 1:35AM on a Saturday morning?” I slept for a couple or so hours and woke up well rested just after 11. And now what? I guess now I sit here, ramble into my blog, and in due time, I go back to bed and hope to sleep.

I think it’s due time right now.
