Crossed fingers getting tired!

The weather's been NUTS!  We will have two days of 80-90 degrees and then the next day it will drop down ten or twenty and be rainy.  I can't complain--it's still been pretty darn warm out lately, even WITH the rain!  Working at Pottery Barn Kids is really just dragging me down, but I'm stickin' with it.

This past week I've done a few 14-hour days, with substituting in the morning and then heading straight into the store in the afternoon/evening.  It's tiring.  Therefore, I just woke up from a two-hour nap, which was lovely :)  Yesterday I went to the doctor about what I believed to be scoliosis.. we're still not sure if it is, but he did find that one leg is half-an-inch shorter than the other, and I may have a "pelvic rotation" (or something along those lines--doc talk).  Either way, I'm headed to another doctor in a couple of weeks to let me know for sure what's going on with this crooked body of mine.

...I had an interview today! It was at a Catholic school--my niece's--and I really don't know how it went.  Normally, after interviews I come out with two thumbs up, pumped to hear back.  I think this one went well, but I definitely BOMBED about two or three questions.  (It doesn't help that I didn't know what to say about the saint who the church is named for--whoops!)  But, it was a lesson, and obviously, next time, I know to research more about the church itself, and what it stands for, so when they say "Tell me about Saint Whoever" I won't have to say, "Uh, I don't know" (that's not how I answered, by the way--I try my best not to say "um") :)

Anyway, I've still got my fingers crossed--they're getting a little tired, and I hope my fingers don't get stuck that way.  It's a slow-moving process, but I'm keeping an open mind and I'm praying daily that the right opportunity will fall into my lap.

On the wedding topic, with my sister: She found her dress--second one she tried on!!!--ordered it, and my niece's as well.  She and her fiance booked the reception hall (it's going to me a brunch wedding, rather than late in the evening) and blocked off hotel rooms at a place nearby.  She's getting a lot done quickly.  And it's still almost a year away!! :)

It's been a busy few weeks, but I'm enjoying the nice weather, and great students I've been working with in the various schools.  'Hope you fellow-bloggers are doing well, too!

Same old stuff

I've been living back home with my mom for about a week now.  It's so weird--it hasn't quite kicked in yet that I don't have a place of my own anymore.  I keep thinking I'll be missing some of my shows at night because I'll be making the drive back to Western New York.  But I won't :/  Strange, and as I said, bittersweet.

'Still searching everywhere for jobs--New York, Florida, Vermont, Massachusetts, Virginia, Maine, and everywhere else, as well.  I might have a summer job at a camp in Albany full time.  That way, I'll have nights and weekends to work at Pottery Barn Kids as well.  I need all the money I can get, and all the luck, too.

My sister finished nursing today--so CONGRATS to her!  My niece is having a Spring music concert tonight, so I'm going to that.  My sister, brother, and I decided on a simple, somewhat inexpensive, but GOOD Mother's Day gift for Mom.  I'm now substituting for BOCES in the Capital Region, so that should get me some work for now, as well.

Not much is new--it's the same wake up, work or try to FIND work, apply for hundreds of jobs, sleep, and repeat.  If anything exciting occurs soon, that will be blogged about I'm sure.  Other than that, I've had some time to spend with friends and family, including visiting Kay's Pizza a lot (a friend's restaurant in town).

Enjoy the week, everybody!
