evileMy mother has been dead for 11 days.
My sister proposed that we plan to meet and scatter her and my stepdad's ashes in October at Enchanted Rock.
I am OK with that. I would like it better in spring with the wildflowers, but October is my stepdad's birth month, and weatherwise it ought to be fine either day.
I'm still out of work; I got a text from a recruiter that says the last place I completed a contract will be hiring a new batch of temps soon, so thats' in the pipeline.
I interviewed for another job, commuting to south austin for $20/hr. It didn't sound great but it sounded OK. Was told the job would be starting in 2-3 weeks, but the day after the interview (Thursday) they said I'd need to start the following week and wanted me to go do a drug test and start the background check. Only problem was my car had just gone into the shop and I hadn't heard back about what was wrong with it nor how long it would take to fix. I could have committed to a start date 2 weeks from then, obviously, but not 3 business days.
Dicking around with the data analyst course; I'm retaking the Excel portion to make sure it goes through my brain properly....
I am not thinking very well lately. I'm not grieving or angry or anything..just blank and blah.
doesnt' help that iran and israel are trading missiles and India and Pakistan are lining up behind their respective 'allies'....would be stupid to start a new job and get nuked
things feel pointless.
but I need to get my head out of my ass.
