Kind of a mixed emotions week! Attended the unofficial meeting of the laid off Target employees on Tuesday. Not much new there. Still sounds like no one has gotten a job, but at least one person had an interview and was offered a job (but at a very sucky hourly wage). So still looking. Personally, I applied for at least 3 different jobs this week. No good outcomes to report.
Volunteered at the shelter on Tuesday night and got to work on a very simple Excel spreadsheet. At least I had some quality time with a spreadsheet - trying to keep my skills up! Wednesday was church and I kind of 'lost it' on the kids. They just have no respect for the church and for the people who are trying to work with them. So I'm sure they are all hatin' on me this week! Oh well, it had to be said!
Thursday night went to the Gopher's Women's basketball game. Great seats (courtesy of my friends Terry & Cathy) and the team won (74-47). Had a blast with my friend Heidi - she found an excellent restaurant in the area and we had dinner before the game. Bought myself a hat and T-shirt to wear to the next game on the 24th.
Friday - oh Friday!! Started with a work-out with "my" Anthony (3rd one this week) and then I went to see "The Book Of Eli" starring none other than Denzel Washington! The movie was good, not great, but Denzel was his usual fabulous self. I'd see it again just to see him (but it was violent and too much cursing!!).
Friday night my sister called very upset over the results of her cancer counts. They are up again. Not sounding good. So I went to sit with her and hopefully gave her some comfort. It's a horrible thing she is going through and I don't know how she does it. She started a new chemo yesterday, too, so hoping this one will work and bring the numbers down. Also found out that my friend Terry's cancer count is WAY up - astronomical (35,000). He also started a new chemo, so hoping and praying his will work for him. He just got over pneumonia and is rather weak along with this cancer crap.
Today (Saturday) I had lunch with some old work buddies. Had a great time, laughing and remembering 'the old days' and catching up with each other. We all need to do more of that. Life gets too serious sometimes. Take time to laugh!
Tomorrow I'll be going to the first Relay For Life meeting in Delano. We're planning to do the all-nighter again this year. Looking forward to a hopefully fun and profitable night for the American Cancer Society. Watch for more details to come from me!!
And then the week begins again! I am scheduled with Anthony M-W-F. Volunteering Tuesday night, church Wednesday night. Lunch with friends on Tuesday. And have lots of things to do before my trip to California!! Time just flys by when you're having fun (and unemployed!).
