The Glass is Half Full

I've been doing a lot of thinking and I've decided to try and change my outlook.  I think of myself as a slightly pessimistic person who dreams for the stars.  Well everyone is tired of the pessimistic part of me so I have decided to work on seeing the glass half full.  This all became clearer as of late when an acquaintance of mine had her baby nephew admitted to Children's Hospital, I think for a congenital Heart Defect.  I may have good days and I may have bad days.  But I'm not struggling for my life.  I don't have cancer, I'm in relatively good help and it's time I appreciated each day knowing that I am lucky to be alive.

My piggies are all sick,  Amy and Penny have Bronchitis and Oreo and Bernie have Upper Respiratory Infections.  Penny and Bernie will take their medicine by Amy and Oreo flip over backwards and act like I'm trying to kill them.  I love them to death but this is going to be a long two weeks.  Still, it's completely worth it if they feel better afterwards.

Jason's knee is on the mend.  It turns out he doesn't need surgery, it's a very bad bone bruise.  Praise the Lord!  He's been in so much pain for a month now and it's nice to finally see him moving around without being in excruciating pain.

I didn't get the two jobs I interviewed for earlier in the month.  It is so hard to get a job.  I've got to just keep plugging away and hope that I meet the right job soon.

Job Search and a Gala

I've been looking for a job for some time now but I've really been applying to everything starting about a month ago. I've gone on a number of interviews, some really promising and some not so promising.  I went on two earlier this week and I was really confident and myself in those interviews.  It's too early to have heard back yet but I kind of wish I heard something yesterday as it was my birthday.  What a birthday present that would have been!  Anyway, I'm hoping to hear back from one in the next week and the other in the next two weeks.  I'm hoping I get a job offer but we'll see.

Bernadette is still sick.  Now she's on two anti-biotics and she really hates the second one.  I don't blame her, it's green!  I hope she gets better soon.

Jason started his new job and he absolutely loves it!  All the people are so friendly and he enjoys driving the cars around.  Tonight was his company's company Holiday Gala, held at the John F Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.  Jason wore his suit, he looked so handsome! I wore contacts and makeup, did my hair, and wore one of my fancier dresses.  It was a blast.  We met some really nice new people and saw some of Jason's new friends.  Dinner was fabulous.  Short Rib that melted in your mouth and crab cakes.  There was an entire array of h'ordeuves.  Yummy.  We were in the downstairs reception area where there was a band and upstairs was the DJ and dancing.  It was fabulous!
