| 7:39 pm | I think I got the job! Assuming I didn't fail the drug test. *g* I did the final interview, and now they're waiting on the drug test and background check. It *is* a pharmacy job, part time for now. But it's a job! I'm sorry about the long ranty post I made the other day. I should be looking on the bright side - - I have a job when a lot of people don't. As for the transportation, we'll just have to work it out. And the heat and air - - I'm still pissed it's messed up, but I've gotten spoiled. When I was growing up, we used a fireplace for heat and fans for cooling. Daddy was very old fashioned. Is anyone else affected by the gas shortage? We went by Wal Mart last night for gas, and they were out. We'd already gotten a gas card and had to go get our money back and go to Enmark because Wal Mart was out for the second time in a week. That's scary. |

| 10:29 pm | Unwanted excitement here this afternoon This afternoon around 5, I went and told J I was going to have a nap, told him to wake me up in an hour or so, and left him playing WoW. The next thing I knew, the smoke alarm was shrieking, and there was smoke in the living room. I jumped up and ran around like crazy trying to see what was on fire. It smelled like burning plastic. Luckily, J had the presence of mind to flip the main breaker. We figured out it was coming from the AC vents. J called his dad, and he and my MIL came and J and his dad turned breakers on one at a time, and since nothing caught fire, they decided it is, indeed, the AC - - either a short circuit or these #%$@&* squirrels have eaten through a wire. It was too dark tonight to do anything about it, so my FIL is coming back tomorrow to see what he can do to fix it. I just stopped shaking. |
| 4:58 pm | Good news I had two interviews today. The first was with a guy who coincidentally used to work at the same place I did(and he didn't care for it). The second guy I liked much better, and we really seemed to hit it off. He told me I did great. They were going to do my third interview(along with a couple of others who made it that far), but were running behind, so he said they would call us about the third. And he did! Monday morning, and he told me to bring my ID/SS card, and that they would probably go ahead and send me for drug test. I am so relieved and *so* happy. Thanks for the good vibes, they really worked! And it's a pharmacy job, so that will mean no working in the middle of the night(I hope). Even if it is, it's a job! Love you guys! |
| 4:39 am | Happy Birthday to trekkiegrrrl!  |

| 9:30 pm | Update and (hopefully)good news We managed to make the truck payment and stop the repossession, with J's emergency PC fund, my eBay and mystery shopping, and a loan from my aunt. Still very worried and stressed about the house payments, but, there may be good news. I got a call from Wal Mart this afternoon to come for an interview tomorrow. It's not here, it's in Vidalia, but only about a half hour away. The pay won't be great and I'm sure the hours will be crazy, but it's a job! Yay! So, everyone, pleasepleaseplease send good vibes my way. And thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and e-mails after my meltdown the other day. I was a mess - - didn't sleep well for days, and when I finally did, I couldn't seem to stay awake! And as usual, when I'm stressed, I *ache*. My left leg, all the way up to my lower back is bothering me, and I'm hoping that's stress and not any kind of injury. At least, I don't remember doing anything to it. Love you guys! Maybe I'll have more good news tomorrow! |

| 6:58 am | Not the best way to wake up I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm went off this morning. I heard a dog barking, which I thought was in my dream, as I didn't hear it after I got up. Then I heard a noise outside the living room window(coincidentally, the only window in the house that actually opens). I woke J up(and that's the fastest he's *ever* gotten up) and we spent the next 10 minutes hissing at each other about where the flashlight might be(in the office beside J's desk). By that time the noise had stopped. We went out front, and the neighbor's dog was in the yard, so I assume he had found some type of vermin by the window. It was a little scary at first, though. There have been a lot of burglaries in town, no doubt because of rising gas prices and the bad economy. Just the other day, a guy knocked on the door wanting to sell a bike I'm not really sure was his. |

| 11:23 pm | Dragon*Con 08 part 2, best costume edition ( Some of the best costumes ) |
| 11:21 pm | Finally, a Dragon*Con report ( With pix, of course! ) |
| Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 | |
| 9:22 pm | Last pre-Dragon*Con post I'm finally packed, except for a few last minute things that will have to go in tomorrow morning. We went shopping this afternoon for provisions for J. I still have to make out a list of reminders for him, and find our extra alarm clock so with both set for Friday morning, maybe he'll make it to work. Since it was our last night before I go away, I made his favorite chicken pot pie, we watched TV, and he gave me a lovely pedicure. I miss him already! If anything I need to know happens, link me and I'll read it when I get back. *big hugs* Wish you were all coming with me! |

| 12:35 am | Another reason to love Ian McKellen He let a homophobic bishop have it: "From the pulpit, homophobia is preached by some arrogant religious leaders who think their beliefs are superior to our inborn and, some would say, God-given nature." |

| 10:43 pm | Further update Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments and support. *hugs friends* The viewing will be tomorrow night from 6 to 8, and the funeral will be Wednesday at 11. J is understandably very down tonight. He's already in bed. He was very close to Granny - - she babysat him a lot when he was little, and she lived next door until right before we were married. We found out one reason J's dad took it so hard - - not that he needs a reason. Larae called back with the details about the arrangements and said that Granny asked for Dad, and she died right after he came in. Last week, Jan's mom's best friend died of cancer. She was at home, with her daughter, husband, grandkids and Jan and her mom there. They were right there when she died. I never been with someone when they died. I always assumed I would be there when Mom died. J's mom says that's why she died while she was in the hospital - - that she knew how devastating it would be for me. I can't imagine how J's dad must be feeling. It's going to be a rough few days. Keep us in your thoughts. Love you all. I hope to one day make a happy post again. |
| 5:30 pm | Granny Kirkley died this afternoon She died around 3 this afternoon. Her regular doctor saw her this morning. J's dad called me at 11 to tell me they had to do surgery on her colon - - something about her having a spastic colon and it was blocked, and that was one thing that had her in pain. Her blood pressure was dropping then, and she died before they could even schedule surgery. I don't have all the details yet, or any funeral arrangements. J's dad was in bad shape when J talked to him. He and Linda were going to make the arrangements at 5, so we should know in a little while. |
