Jenn is in New Hope with her friends and I am trying to get work done around here. I worry because it's freakin' cold out (like it should be in Winter but has barely been so far this Winter). I've finally managed to get my computer to boot up and stay running which I hadn't the two days previous. But still haven't gotten much of anything accomplished.

I ran to the store to get some tea bags (cheap, cheap 100 bag box) and some super cheap sweetener so I can make tea and maybe even iced tea in an attempt to try to save a little bit of money. I have none. Well...a very, very small amount left in my account and I am doing everything that I can to make it last until I have another job.

I felt guilty making said purchases. Don't get me wrong...I am in no way whatsoever stating that anyone is making me feel guilty for making said/any purchases. I do that solely on my own. In fact, from Jenn I've gotten the exact opposite. In all honestly I've felt better overall than I have in the 10 months that I had the In-Store Service Rep job. I've gotten so much done around here. Stuff that felt like such a huge chore outside of the job that I had...and yet I had gotten each one done rather quickly in my time off. So now I just have my concerns about finding another job. Please offer prayers. I hope that it doesn't sound too unworthy of prayer..but many good things can come from me finding another job that will actually allow me to be happy enough. Wish. Pray. Thank you.

And to possibly hint at one of the 'future' things I am thinking of...here it goes.... Our ex-roomate who now lives in Chicago brough her 1.3 year old son here so that Jenn could take them to the store where she works in the mall to take neat shots. I really like the pictures. And then we went to eat at Giuseppe's (where I used to work once upon a time...for nearly three years) and I've missed the entree that I had on Wednesday night! Delicious. But the main point is that I enjoyed the roughly total of an hour that I spent playing with Nicholas over the day or so that he was here..and it got me thinking again...

It seems that I've been afflicted with atleast three different ailments in the past two weeks and to be honest...there's about four days that I can't remember (you can even ask Jenn: invisibleinkling about that). The most resilient so far is a horrid, horrid cough. It was hurting my solar plexus.... every cough felt like a suckerpunch to the abdomen which would seemlingly knock the wind out of me each time. Now let me tell you JUST how MUCH that makes me want to not cough.

Jenn bought me a bounty of DayQuil/NyQuil liquigels and I had some stuff left from previous illnesses. I'd had to take a mixture of several of them at a time to not literally lose my head/lungs to the coughing fits. They subsided somewhat but of course it really wants to hang on and from time-to-time I will be wracked by another bout like an annoying boxing opponent that just want stay on the damned mat. Get down and stay the hell down!

I've devoured part of a grove's worth of oranges in the past week. My mom had put one in Jenn's stocking and my own. She doesn't eat oranges so I ate them both. And it got me started. Acme (conveniently located directly across the street from my computer chair...I could hit it with a baseball...probably have at some point) has had seedless naval oranges 5 for $1.99! Seedless is all something has to say and I'm probably all over it. I can't be bother with seeds! Well..I can...but it really limits my consumption of whatever it is. It's a long enough process to peel the oranges completely with a knife before I can segment and eat them. And then to remove/spit out seeds. Not time effective at all. Nope. So they had to go before they even get to me. Mmmm oranges.

Anyway.

I am looking for another job. Jenn is supporting me in my endeavor. And god is she. And I can't thank her enough for it. I've been so miserable for so long and I'd gotten tired of so many other Rep's that came after me, leaving loooooong before me. I am not sure yet how I am going to make as much as I was. But I am also not sntirely certain that the money was anywhere near worth how I felt every night when I got home and every morning right before I had to go in. I was questioning my motivation all of the time and it ALWAYS came down to the money and money can be gotten elsewhere. So I am here to find that out. And there are a couple of other reasons that actually do not involve me which pertain to how long the job would actually exist for me anyway (which from current outlook is not much longer anyway) which I will explain later on I am sure. I am a little hampered in my search by the weather and still being ill...and my voice definitely waivering from the fighting the cough. But I've already applied to several jobs online...one of which includes to become a technician at a Jiffy Lube. No experience required. Paid training. Doing stuff I want to make sure that I am doing correctly for my car anyway. And I am sure that I would get a discount on the services for my car which could helpfully keep it running longer.

Well please, please wish me and us luck. It's really needed. Also...I am going to work on reading more of your 'tangs and commenting on a ton more entries. I hadn't felt up to going anywhere near a computer and wasn't in the shape to be at a computer for 4 of the days. So I am going to work on easing myself into that one but it'll happen and you'll see my stupid, inane droppings of commenting goodness left for the gratification of the 'blogging work that you do.

Well that's it because I'm out of juice (as in energy) and it's bed time.
Visitors tomorrow/thursday.
Giuseppe's tomorrow night...oh yes, sweet baby jesus..it's true...I love their food and for just one night..it can love me too!

Goodnight fellow web'o'nauts.
