Mindless Thursday

Tina - poor Agnes, I hope she puts on some weight and feels well enough to initiate her heartworm treatment.  Such an awful thing, and so preventable.  Any time I think of HW treatment, I think of Clay, one of my assigned dogs at the rescue.  Despite being an older dog, he had as much energy as an out-of-control live wire.  Trying to keep him quiet for so many weeks was a chore.

I got an offer for an interview today, but I had no details on the company, nothing.  (He found me)  I googled the guy's e-mail address, the name he gave for the company and came up w/zilch, so I asked for a bit more about the company before accepting the interview.  He sent me websites, but I'm pretty sure this is sales/marketing and I have no intention of traveling around to sell products/services - not just because I don't like selling things I don't believe in, but because I am relying on public transportation.  The truck my sister bought needs a new engine, we found out for sure yesterday.  *sigh*

I got my FICO credit score for the first time this morning and I'm "very good" to "excellent" depending on who you ask.  Woohoo!

Cathy, I have the same problem when I'm going grocery shopping.  Too hungry, I buy too much.  Full, come home with toilet paper and dog treats. lol 

 

Well, at least you get the important stuff!

Jackie, you know I really love you, childish or not.

Yay and fortunately, we all know you mean Agnes

I managed the shopping trip without needing two carts but I did buy quite a bit. I love that store.

Just had a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and toast. I wanted to be good for breakfast because I think I'll have nachos for a snack.

Leisje - congrats on the good FICO score!!

Paige - I don't blame you for not wanting a sales job. It's not my thing either and if salary is based on commissions, I'd starve to death. I hope something better comes along soon and the car troubles go away.

Yay, Agnes!!!

OMG...I just had lunch at my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant.  My pants now feel two sizes too small and I am ready for a nap.

Yay for normal poop!! :)  Good girl, Agnes!

I want to hit something.   Where the hell is my new job?  This is ridiculous. Off to tell this guy "thanks but no thanks", which feels counterproductive to my situation.  Argh!

GROAN!!  I am not a stupid person, so why don't I ever seem to learn??

I got out my handy dandy Black and Decker 16" "light weight" electric hedge trimmer today...even took a stool out with me so I wouldn't be raising my arms up over my head for long (the bad shoulders object to that), and yeah, I got soaked with sweat,but far worse is that it feels like I've been lifting weights....far too heavy weights.  I did 15 bushes this morning and only 3 of them were really bad, but oh do I EVER ache!!

The good news is that there aren't more than a couple dozen or so more to do.  It's those darned tall ones that are the worst but gosh, I sure would hate to see or rather try to USE a trimmer that isn't "light weight".......

Amanda, I just have to know.  Was there a time when you thought it was a good idea to store squeaky toys up your butt?  Or does your butt squeak naturally? 

Why you ladies think I'm grouchy is puzzling me.  I am the picture of serene happiness at all times.  Now get the heck out of my way, I need some coffee and your in my way.

LMAO!  No, there have been no squeaker/butt issues that I can remember.  Although, there was this one time when I was drunk in Mexico.....

And Jackie, I think that you are just about as sweet as a pissed off rattlesnake.  This, of course, is why I like you!

Yippee for Agnes and good poop!  Isn't nice having a group of people who can celebrate this instead of thinking you're nuts? lol

Paige, that totally sucks about your sister's car engine.  I don't blame you for wanting to hit something in your frustration over the job hunt.  That sales job sounded like it would just be a waste of time.   Don't hit anything harder than your hand.

Paige, that totally sucks about your sister's car engine

She had a tough day yesterday, and the engine was only one of many issues.  I got an earful of it all, including the daily reminder that I need to get a job, and that she "didn't do anything wrong" and yet she has dumped her extra cash savings into a vehicle she never wanted and is now junk.  (She only had her friends buy it because my car died the week before I was supposed to move to Denver, with her dog.)  I'm trying not to feel guily about it, because I didn't buy that vehicle, or choose not to have it checked by a mechanic before buying it, or choose not to have it checked by a mechanic when the gauge started acting weird before heading out on a 1300 mile trip.  She wanted me in Denver by Tuesday to manage the movers arriving that day, and she was secretly flying my friend in from NH that Thursday.  It was all crap timing, because she planned on buying herself a truck for the dogs with that money, but not on-the-fly through friends, sight unseen.  An extra week or two, and I would have had my insurance money to buy a car of my own (which, I would've had checked by a mechanic), and another paycheck at my old job.  Just stupid frustration.  It would be sooo much easier if I had the job I've needed for the last year and a half - one that makes comparable $ to what I made back in NH.  Not until today have I seriously considered moving back to NH.  Sorry to be Debbie Downer - I've really been trying to do "The Secret" and returning to religion and just trying to be hopeful/positive that the outcome will be what I want, but yesterday sucked, and no new job/interview offers today sucks!

Paige, hopefully everything will just suddenly fall into place. My bet's are on you.

Now, I think a full bodied red wine and a batch of Sin Bars are needed...........

Hahahahaha, You guys are nuts.  Thanks for hte laughs.  I needed them today.  Maghee is not having a good day therefore I'm not having a good one either.

Only a group of dog dorks would be cheering for good poopies.  Yay Agnes!  You poopie girl!!!  :)

Ummm, actually the women on the hysterectomy forum I belong to talk about it far more. It's quite a blessed event post-op

Paige - I hope the "Secret" works for you. Having a positive attitude never hurts and I do think that focusing on what you want is productive. I know you'd settle for something less than ideal but that's different than doing something you'd stink at or hate. I know it must be very difficult to have to rely on your sister at this point and more so if she's making you feel obligated to her. I had to stay with a friend for a few weeks while out of work and my friend was very generous but I couldn't wait to get out on my own again. I hope things turn for you soon.

Paige, I don't blame you for being down.  It's a crummy position to be in and there is no way to sugarcoat the facts.  The only advice this old broad has is keep your eye on your goal.  The stuff along the way won't kill you although you might wish it would sometimes. lol  When I'm feeling down and thinking my life is crappy, I really do try and remember that I have it damn good compared to so many.  Tomorrow's another day.  I'll send you some good vibes, say a prayer for you and pass you some brownies. :)
