| My life's ups and downs... |
| Tuesday, April 12, 2011, 9:15am Woke-up to the sound of my telephone ringing... music to my ears! It's cooler this morning -- yes! So dreading the full wrath of Summer's heat and humidity. Air-conditioning is a God-send. It feels like I am on God's sh-t list. One step forward, two steps back. I guess I am so flawed, He needs to put me through the ringer to perfect me. So be it. O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. |
| Monday, April 11, 2011, 10:56am Another day without a dollar...  It's amazing what twelve days can do to one's finances. I have never been in this predicament before. Have always been able to find temporary work to keep me going while waiting for a full-time position to open. At least when I left St. Petersburg and moved here I had my 401k money to keep me afloat. Now, I could lose everything... including a place to live. How's that for progress? I wish I would just pass on from here to my home in heaven. I am really not enjoying this diminished existence.  I am beginning to identify with Job. |
| Sunday, April 10, 2011, 10:03am Slept well... too well maybe. My nose is pierced. I quit wearing my stud last August when I started working. Yesterday, I tried to put it in --- no go. It was always hard to get in; so, I don't know if it's healed up on the inside or what. I may give it a try again today. Wow, huh? Interesting stuff! Really sorry I missed church this morning. Let's see if I can get rambunctious enough to make it to the evening service.  |
| Saturday, April 9, 2011, 9:39pm Had lunch with my parents today... came back home around 2:45pm, checked e-mail, etc., and then spent all afternoon watching movies. A hermit leads a solitary life. |
| Saturday, April 9, 2011, 10:46am The windows are shutup, yet hope lingers... maybe the temperature will drop once more before the full onset of summer, which comes early in these here parts. Goober  lies in the chair grooming himself while I lounge on the couch playing on the internet. Though at peace , I wonder if my life will ever be "normal." Probably not.Enjoy your day and take a walk in the sun before the day is done.  |
| Friday, April 8, 2011, 11:50am Is it really Friday, again? How quickly the days and weeks go by. I am thankful for the sunshine peaking through trees, sparkle a refractory play on surrendered leaves. |
| Thursday, April 7, 2011, 9:36am Listening to the sound of mowers in the distance, I am taken back to my childhood... where I am lying on my bed. How easy it is to drift back to those memories and return for a moment to a simpler, peaceful time. I am thankful the property here is groomed and without weeds. |
| Wednesday, April 6, 2011, 4:53pm Called the hiring parties at three law offices at which I left a resume on Monday. Two are not hiring, left message with a third. One of the ladies advised me to put in my resume with the bar association and to also contact the lady who heads up the Mobile County Association of Legal Administrators. There is hope for me yet! Thank God for kind, considerate, caring individuals. Had an interview at 1pm with a lady at ITAC Solutions, an employment agency. Then telephoned the local bar offices for Baldwin County and for Mobile County and emailed my resume to both. Finally (whew!), I contacted another girl who is the head of the Mobile County Association of Legal Administrators and e-mailed her a resume as well. If I keep this up, I may be in the Guiness Book of World Records! |
| Wednesday, April 6, 2011, 10:56am Been busy this morning filling out an application for a position at Bay Pines in St. Petersburg, Florida. I've received one response from my online work proposals but no interviews or offers as yet. I've been sending resumes via online alerts since March 24. It's slow going. Unemployment should be in place. I report my weeks again on April 12; so hopefully some money will be filtering in from them. If I do not get a job here in Daphne within the next two weeks, I am not sure what my next step will be because I cannot afford to pay rent and make a car payment on what I will receive from Unemployment... Maybe I need to make a call to my finance company to see if I can put a temporary hold on the car payments. I will also need to cancel my DirectTV service. So as of today, I have no money for postage, gas, food or anything else. I am used to doing without, but this is a bit over the top. |
| Monday, April 4, 2011, 11:04am I have high hopes that my "final" paycheck from BBMN will be in the mailbox today... If not, I guess I will just have to wait another day. Finally received the hang-tag back in returned mail on Saturday; I'll be hand-deliverying that one today. I must file for unemployment in the good State of Alabama today as well. May the Lord make my way prosperous and straight. I pray for open doors that no man can shut. Lead me and guide me Holy Spirit. Amen. |
