Screaming. Had a small break yesterday but here we are.
Busy day yesterday. I was up early. Did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and straightened the living room before I took the dog to the groomer. Got back, C had done more cleaning. We worked together to get the house ready for company. Around 3 I started my lasagne. C's coworker came over around 5. We had a nice time. Food was good. We watched a movie. She headed out around 10. We went to bed around 11.
Nothing planned for today.
Still screaming.
There's something wrong with the bed. My back has been killing me. I've adjusted it twice. I think with the rapid weather changes it's been losing pressure like car tires. But I am in serious pain this morning. I am so done with everything. Taking dog to groomer in a little while. Having C's coworker over for dinner. Making lasagne.
Silence. It broke yesterday around 1pm. Been doing good since.
Quiet day. Weather also broke. We got to go on a walk. Another today too. Supposed to be really nice today finally. Might even make smashburgers outside tonight. We shall see. Just playing the waiting game. Waiting for interviews. Waiting for responses. Nothing else to report.
Screaming
Couldn't sleep again last night. Tossed and turned from 10:30 until midnight. Got up until 1:30. Just stressed out. Got two rejections yesterday which didn't help my mood. I have one week until my onsite. I need this job, bad. I have to take it no matter what. Which is making me feel trapped. Made chinese pork for dinner. Watched tv. Froze my ass off.
Head back.
As promised I didn't sit on my ass yesterday job wise. I applied to four new jobs, followed up on things. Nothing is done until it is done. I have one more week until my onsite. Things could change. It snowed here yesterday which really sucked. We had hoped to get outside, but nope. Made wraps for dinner. Watched a movie.
Silence. Good.
The weather turned yet again. We tried to go for a walk because it said it was nice out. We failed to look at the 'feels like' which was 10 degrees less. The wind was biting and it was freezing. We barely made it 30 minutes. I felt bad for the dog, but fuck that. Today it will be back down in the low 30s. Are we done with this shit yet? Seriously. I am over it already.
Did laundry. Made tuna for dinner. C's boss messaged last night and she might have to go into work today. We will see. I have one more week until my interview but I am still applying for shit until then. Nothing is solid until the dotted line is signed.
Head is back. Strong. Sad.
Only excitement yesterday was when I almost killed us by making chemical gas. Don't mix drain chemicals kids. Things go poof and make clouds. I am okay but it was scary for a little while. Drain is open though it would appear. That's the good news? Seriously I poured one down there, it did nothing, I poured a second stronger one but there must have been some residual so it went POOF in a little cloud. I aired everything out, ran a fan, etc. But it was a scary few minutes. That was my excitement. Made cheesesteaks for dinner.
Laundry today. Woo.
Silence day 2.
They called and rescheduled for the 2nd instead of the first. They want to make sure everyone is in the office to meet me. Good? Bad? Not sure. They clearly are interested but they might be moving slower than I would like. Remember, it took them 37 days to even reach out. I might enjoy some place that moves at that pace, but I have to think about the financials. I am not going to slack off next week. Still going to apply at places. We were supposed to go to a movie, but C fell asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake her. She would have just been exhausted. We can always go to the movies some other time. No plans for this weekend.
Silence.
Folks, ya girl nailed it! We had a good 40 minute talk, he immediately invited me back for a second round onsite. They reached out and scheduled it 90 minutes after the call even before I could send a thank you email. I go onsite April 1st for 2-3 hours to meet the team. I feel this is mine to lose. Only thing that will break this is salary. We didn't discuss and they didn't list. This is a new role for them so I don't think they have any clue what this should pay. It could go one of two ways. They are unrealistically low, or they need to be ready to pay for someone with my background. We'll find out on 4/1. Until then, I am still applying and will still interview as it comes up.
In sadder news, Agador Spartacus passed away last night. Yes, I am talking about the cat that B took in the divorce. She'd been getting sick and I don't want to go into it right now, but she should have let her go last week. I feel she was being selfish. She didn't want blood on her hands but now she's got it anyway.
I am proud of C as well. She made the first step in getting herself squared away. She had a doc appointment yesterday where she get a formal diagnosis of ADHD and can now see about meds. She knew she was but needed the piece of paper. She really wants to be able to focus so she can move forward with her life and career. It's so nice to have an adult partner who knows what she wants and will actually get off her ass to achieve it.
We're going to a movie tonight. All in all, a pretty darn good week.
