I'm "on call" for jury duty all week this week. I called the hotline last night to see if I needed to show up today and they said my scheduled date has been rescheduled to Thursday. What a relief because I have a luncheon tomorrow that is 2 hours away and it's been scheduled for months now.
I'm stripping my hair tonight - for the first time in ten years. I hope it goes okay.
Our foster dog went up on the rescue's website yesterday as available and I've already received two applications for him. One looks like it would be perfect, so I have my fingers crossed for him.
Yay for your foster getting adopted out so quickly (I hope)!
I have to finish a sewing project today, but my creative juices aren't flowing very well. Hopefully, I'll figure it out. I'm also hoping it doesn't fall apart in the wash. :/
Brad got mad at me last night because I said, "Thank goodness this one won't go into overtime," while we were watching the hockey game. There were less than 3 minutes left and the score was 2-0, but I might have jinxed it. uh huh. For the record, I didn't.
I'm still on the hunt for shoes, if I can swing it, I'll stop by the stores tonight.
I am waiting to hear back from the lady in charge of scheduling student shadows for a program here at work. She said they were scheduling students, but I need to know if she's got any lined up for my people so I can put it on their calendars--they know they have signed up but only one knows she's got students coming for sure.
I keep seeing pictures of my niece in her Bumbo on the kitchen counter and it makes me so super nervous. I think they sit her up there when they are cooking. I commented the first time, but I don't want to keep saying it and somehow be the asshole.
I have those new Miley songs (I think they are both Miley) stuck in my head. I kinda love them both.
I am getting lots of applications because he is very young and active and his photos are adorable, but my concern is that he needs a lot of socialization. I think he will be okay, but he needs someone who can be patient with him and help him learn that the world is really an exciting place and not scary. The app I got last night seems almost perfect for him, so we'll see!
The rescue has been inundated with dogs in the last week - I think 8 or more.
Apparently you need a permit, even though it's above ground. You have to fill out 7 different forms and get 7 different signatures. And you have to go in order. Plus, each one costs money. One was $65, one was $170, one was $175, etc. It's just a much bigger PITA than we thought it would be.
I got an email from one of my jobs saying they will have news regarding a position I applied for...in the next week. Previously they said they would get back to me this week...which they did, I guess. But GAH.
And I should hear back for a second interview this week for another job...so I am on pins and needles because their second round is this week and more time passes and omg she insinuated I made it to the second round but what if I didn't? Gah.
And the third job called my references a few weeks ago now and I feel strongly that I'll get an offer but they are dragging their feet and I heard last week it would be at least a few more days....so again, any day now I should hear from them. GAHHHHH
gault I really hope you hear something soon. It's such a frustrating spot to be in. they need to stop taking their damn time and just hire you already.
I've been home studying for my exam and my cat is ALL over me, all the time. Not helpful, except I guess that at least I'm getting assistance in managing distractions.
unfortunately no, mine are about 4 weeks old and have about 50 miles on them. I had blood taken and they are doing a full panel including another ANA test so hopefully those results will be in today or tomorrow and that give us or eliminate possibilities.
Thanks, you guys. I don't like the anxiety I'm feeling right now. It sucks.
Deep breathing. Lots and lots of it. And maybe some yoga/stretching and exercise?
There are lots of guided visualizations and meditations out there that might help too. Not that I ever need these things to manage my anxiety. Also, can't remember what kind of phone you have, but if it's an Android there are some great self-hypnosis apps and relaxation apps. White Noise is just a collection of different sounds. I think most of the apps I have are by Hivebrain, things like Confidence with Andrew Johnson. Fun Scottish accent too. Or even just have some upbeat or soothing music playing in the background. I like jazz, or really upbeat stuff, like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTqmiwHHktE
Ugh they have delicious cake (funfetti) in the next building and I have already had a piece, but would like another. WHERE is my willpower??? Help me, please.

I have no willpower. I can't help you.
If you figure out how to stamp down the little devil that makes people eat too many cupcakes, let me know.
