So, as the title states, lots to cover. Everyone got their favorite beverage or snack, comfy seat, blanket and are ready to go? Okay, here we go.
Today I have been wracking my brain trying to write my 19 BILLIONTH cover letter. It's not going well. I need to finish it tonight and send it off to my friend of a friend at a company downtown that would honestly be the bomb-diggity to work for, but I need to give myself a break. I need something that is not a cover letter, and is not an online dating profile or witty text message to a certain someone. (Actually, the witty text messages I don't mind so much.) At one point today, I came scarily close to combining a cover letter and dating profile. That's when I knew I am to the point of overload.
So, in order to distract myself for a short amount of time, I have decided it's time to blog. Mentally vomit (sorry if you got an unpleasant mental image there). Get things off my chest/off my mind. Insert the next cliché here. (BTW, totally just found out recently how to do that little ´ over the e. Feeling pretty badass, it's the little things people.)
Unemployment has had it's perks. Time to rest, time to spend with friends, time to put other parts of life in order, or back out into the world, depending on which part you're talking about. However, it's been almost 3 solid months now...Sister...I don't have a CLUE as to how you did this for a year. Kudos. I find myself missing the outside world. I miss being a productive person in society. I guess it's good that I miss that instead of getting incredibly used to living off of unemployment. (Which honestly...no thank you, I'm going freaking stir crazy.)
The next thing I have on my agenda (besides the last part of this blog post, which was a great way to distract myself for just a short while) is to make my adorable cousin Anke's hat she has asked me for. I have to get goin' on it. I have the yarn, I have the hook, and finally have a pattern (I am insanely meticulous on picking these out...). I also have 3 other projects I need to get working on too. Two wish fulfillments, and I go back and forth about figuring out making something absolutely fab for myself. :) Who knows what it will be at this point. What I love is that it's (almost) fall so knit/crochet wear is a bit more "accepted". Because who wants to be working on an insanely hot blanket or warm hat in 80 degree weather? (By the way, for those that don't know, Colorado has been going a bit CRAZY with the weather fluctuations. I'm so ready for fall, it's sick.)
Also, when your dear, dear friend is sitting across from you at breakfast one morning, and says (as you have your sunglasses on your head, pushing back part of your hair) "HOLY COW, you weren't kidding! You DO have a lot of gray hairs!!" it's time to break out a new box of color...it's kind of sickening how many more seem to be showing up these days. Not just sickening...flat out SCARY AS HELL. I know that Grandee (dad's mom) was completely white haired by 19, but for the love of PETE...as long as boxes of hair color are stronger than genetics, my grays will be hiding under brown hair color!!!! Now, time to google for a coupon.
Up next: my time waster/cover letter distraction for the evening.
