prosodicTomorrow is the first day of June. And I hope that means a good month for us. May didn't do much for me and ended badly, although nothing has really happened yet today. *knock on wood*
Tomorrow also means it will be exactly one month until Lance and I go to Ohio for a week. I'm so excited. I really miss Ohio - more than I ever expected to - but obviously I miss my family more. Paula is going to come down on July 2nd from Cleveland and we're going to the Franklin Park Conservatory. Horticulture, butterflies and Dale Chihuly glass art...what could be better?
Last night, I went over to Kathy's for hot tubbing. Only they just had the hot tub serviced, so the water wasn't particularly hot. It was taking much longer to heat up than the Aqua Quip man said it would. When I got there, the water temperature was 75 degrees. I didn't get in until the water temp was 80, and even that felt cold. But I got used to it after awhile and sat in the tub until the temp was about 84. I'm sure by now it's where it needs to be. I'll probably go over there for a bit tomorrow after Lance leaves.
Lance is leaving for Oklahoma tomorrow for 10 days. He gets back just in time for my birthday. But he has to work on the 11th anyway. No worries...Kathy is taking me to breakfast at Wild Wheat bakery. Afterwards, her neighbor - a cosmotologist - is going to give us professional pedicures. There may be some hot tubbing. And then Steak 'n' Cake at our place after Lance gets home. Sounds like a pretty nice day to me...hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Of course, I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about the job situation (or lack thereof). I'm still really determined to run my own show, so to speak, and I'm looking at various things. Lance and I had planned for awhile to start up our own internet business. He got all the materials for it already. He wants me to go over everything while he's gone. Additionally, I'm going to do whatever freelance stuff I can do. And maybe...maybe...do a part-time job of some sort. I wonder if Half Price Books or Barnes & Noble or Borders are hiring? At least until I get some sort of steady income coming in from various freelance projects. I'm trying to put a positive spin on this and look at it as an opportunity rather than a total and complete disaster. I'm trying. But I've always been more of a realist than an optimist. And I fully understand the gravity of our situation.

Grocery stores (less people eating out, buying more food to have at home) and dental offices (still necessary) have been unaffected by the economy according to reports I've seen on the news, so maybe try those places for jobs? Rest homes, maybe they need someone to read to the old people or help them preserve their memories?

Date: 2009-06-01 03:05 am (UTC)I'm starting a new job working at the chocolate company I worked at last fall this Thursday. It pays crap but I love the company and the people and it's something to do while looking for something else. I say go check at the bookstores or even movie theaters - I heard movie theaters pay decent for part-time and you get free movies out of it too.
