So, the past few days have been fun. On Thursday when I went to Chandler-Gilbert Community College to see a school counselor they said they usually do appointments on Tues-Thurs and walk -ins Mon and Fri. I knew we'd be busy this weekend so I'm going to call on Monday for a Tuesday appointment. This is the demotivating part about school. I love to be in class learning stuff but getting everything rolling is a real pain. And don't even talk about Financial Aid. It's like trying to make your way though a waste-deep swamp but the people who are supposed to help you navigate out of there are all over the place and each speak a different language. Definitely need another counselor for that, too.
On my way back home from there, I stopped at the Starbucks where I worked until December. (54th St and Ray). To my surprise, Leah was still on her shift there! I waited around a half hour til she was off and we got to sit and talk about all the crazy Starbucks drama, good and bad. It was so nice to catch up with her. As I think I've made clear, I don't have many friends in this area. If Leah and I hung out more, I'm sure I would consider her one. I feel like I can always confide in her. I'm not sure if any of what I say to her goes around, but I'm sure it's not a big deal. I know the difference between friendly and cruel gossip and I don't think she's cruel about me. I guess what I'm getting at is, its really nice to just run into someone and get to talking when it doesn't happen very often. She even mentioned that I maybe could talk to the store manager about coming back to work there. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea but she mentioned the other two stores nearby too, and I'm keeping them in mind if I don't have any better plans by the end of the week, or maybe sooner.
Friday, Mike and I went to Pita Jungle for lunch. We hadn't been there in a while. It was a bit crowded, but good. Afterward we walked around the waterfront for a bit (or "the puddle" as I call it, being from New Jersey). When we got home we did a few chores, and then sat back to drink wine and watch the Venture Brothers dvds I just ordered. It was great!
Today Mike and I finally re-caulked the bathtub!! We're waiting for it to dry now. I can't wait to be able to take a bath again. Much more fun than a shower. Even moreso, I can't wait to give his 8-year-old never bathed cat a good scrub-down. She'll bestow upon us the wrath of a nightmare kitty-hell, but it'll be worth it to clean her up, I swear. Anyway, winding down time today included watching more Venture Brothers, until Mike passed out and I put him to bed. Tomorrow we're going up to Glendale to his parents' house to say hi, and return some dvds we borrowed, and do our taxes, and hang out with their doggies. Not a bad time, generally. And as I mentioned before, it's nice to get out of the house and see people I know and to whom I can actually speak.
So I don't know about Monday. The only plans I have for then are to start up the job search again, and call to make an appointment with a school counselor. I am open to any other suggestions (job hunting or otherwise), or requests for meet ups, etc. I have been somewhat neglecting the Chandler Mall.
Ok, so, once the sleeping pills cause 5 typos per word, it's time to stop and go to bed, and just hope this all makes sense when I wake up in the morning.
