Nothing to see here...

Nothing new to report. Nothing to see here. Just thought I'd put that out there. Another week...nothing going on. :::SIGH:::

What is "normal"?

I thought that after Sandy's memorial service things would get back to "normal". But, the more I think about it, I don't really know what "normal" is for me. Since I was laid off back in the end of December, I haven't had a normal schedule. At first it was like a long Christmas vacation. Movies, family, eating, parties. It was all fun. Then I went into somewhat of a care-giver mode, helping Sandy with her appointments and visiting with her. I also spent a lot of time hibernating from the winter cold and snow. Then as Sandy became more ill, there were hospital visits and visiting her at home and ultimately her passing away. Then we spent time preparing for the memorial service and attending the service and finishing the thank you cards for that. Now I know that eventually we will have family gatherings at her house to clear it out and prepare to sell it (that could take LOTS of time). For now, I don't know what to do with myself!?

I did have an interview for a job last week that I feel went really well. I thought I would hear back from them by now..but not yet. Maybe I'm too anxious. I'd like to know what the future holds for me. In the meantime, I keep looking for other jobs and not finding much out there for me.

So what is "normal" for me now? I'm still trying to figure it out.

This morning I had a training session with Kolby at the gym. Then later I dropped off 2 bags of "professional" women's clothing at Edina Realty for the "Dress For Success" program. It helps low income women prepare to enter or re-enter the work force and clothing donations is just one part of that. I had lots of clothes that no longer fit and I felt were 'too nice' to just give to the Goodwill, so that's where they went. I also have the DAV coming this week to pick up the other clothes and some household goods I have cleared out. Suppose I could clean more closets and find more stuff for that?

Tonight I am volunteering with Alexandra House. Tomorrow night I have a meeting at church for the Endowment Committee. Wednesday night is LOGOS at church. Thursday night is back at Alexandra. Friday night I'm in charge of bringing my niece to her dance class. So the evenings are 'full', but what to do with myself all day long? I am addicted to new games on the computer. Listening to Maurey in the background and slowly going insane!!

Let's hope I get that job. I need something to bring me back to a "normal" state of being!!
