I’m glad your Mum’s roommate apologised Aly :hug:
I hope your Mum can come home soon ❤️

Public holiday here for Australia Day. It’s raining which is so nice! I’m back in bed with coffee :)

Enjoy your holiday, Willow!
I have given my best in the interviews. I thought some went well, some not so ok. I will update if I hear back.
Hope everyone had a great day/good night!

Billie didn't touch her breakfast today but finally ate it at supper time. She's not been sick so I don't know why she didn't eat this morning. :dunno:

My feet are still numb but not as painful as they were. And my back pain is a little better than it was. I'll take any improvement, and be glad for it. :)

End of Day 73. Extremely tired with 6 hours of back to back interviews. Happy I was able to give my best due to being sober. Good night from foggy Seattle.

Congratulations on day 73 calmself. You did your best, you should be proud of your work and efforts you put in to the interviews. You did well. :)

Least glad the pain has subsided somewhat. :hug:

Willow hope you enjoyed your holiday day. :)

I guess I spoke too soon as my feet are getting some pain where there was none before. :(

Least, hope they’re feeling better after a good night’s sleep. :hug:

Enjoy your rest Willow. Have a duvet day. :)

Well done Calmself.

Aly I am glad things are improving with your Mum.

I hope you and Billie are ok Least. Did you mention her bouts of sickness to the vet the other day?

My Doctor thinks my eye swelling might of been a reaction to my blood pressure medication. I have been on it for years but apparently your body can suddenly react to it. So I have to stop taking it and take a blood pressure reading everyday for a few weeks while she decides what to put me on.

I also have to have some blood tests etc.

Hoping to do a long therapy walk somewhere nice later today. Willows beach would be perfect. :wink3:

Kaily, that makes sense. Hope you can have a bp med that agrees with you. Enjoy your walk with Alfie and Daisy. :hug:

Thanks Mags.

A little smile.

Aw that’s brilliant Kaily. So heartwarming to see the traffic stopped for them. :)

Willow, :hug: Thank you for your kindness,
Love to you all.

Thanks for that smile, Kaily, I needed that. I hope you get the medication sorted and that your eyes improve.
Aly, that sounds like a really tough situation with your mom. I hope she can go home soon.
Least, hope your pain is better soon.
Calmself, you are doing really well! Even if you don't get a job from this round of interviews, you worked really hard, and your preparation WILL pay off at some point.

I am going to whine a little tiny bit. My job is truly becoming unbearable. There are things going on with personnel that could mean I won't even have a job to quit! Not sure how it will all shake out, but one colleague is causing ripples that could possibly mean a huge reorganization. It's extremely stressful. I can leave this job when I need to, I'd financially be OK, but the benefits are so great and the location is so convenient for me that I keep hanging on, hoping things get better, or that another job opens up on campus that might be less painful for me. Not sure how much longer I can take it. And my daughter is moving on Saturday, and she's not taking the packing part very seriously. I'n really starting to nag her but it seems to make little difference. She seems to feel like it's all going to be magically fine. UGH. And it is arctic cold here. Which just makes everything more difficult. -20 F this morning with a wind chill of about -32. Ok, whine over. Other people have much bigger problems.

But you know what would make all of it worse? Drinking. And honestly, I haven't even thought about it.

Thank you, Marty. :hug: I hope you are well! 💗☮

Thanks, Mags and Kaily! Getting into FAANG is a dream for most. The chances of getting thru is 0.7%. Basically not even 1 in 100. But, as you said, I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for a miracle.

GM all!

MLD, I hope the situation improves. There are so many job openings right now that are going unfilled, you'd thing they would be appreciative of a loyal person like yourself.

Kaily, four cubs, that momma bear must stay worn out. I hope the eye swelling thing gets sorted out.

Willow, hope you had a nice day off. The pictures of Jonathan seem very reassuring.

Sending positive vibes least,Kaily.

Good luck with the interviews calmself.

There are a lot of good Janey Godley video clips online (she of the bear video). Most of them have some swear words so you'll have to look them up, they are funny.

Sao, I looked up Janey Godley. I can only understand about half of what she says, mostly the swear words :lmao

Hahaha I absolutely love Janey Godley, she does brilliantly funny voice overs of the political leaders :lmao
