Self Care 2/20ish

[cam]

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I would much rather have been here than on countless phone calls with the triple whammy: doctors' offices, pharmacies, and the insurance company. A few were helpful, but with one in particular, to say it was like talking to a wall would have been an insult to walls. Anyway...



What did you do this past week? Did you do anything for your physical wellbeing?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Tackle something on the back burner of your to do list.

I attempted a nap on Saturday. Antibiotics starting to work, so starting to feel a bit better finally. We had a family date morning over the weekend. I got in a tiny sewing time at one point.

This week, getting together with friends at some point. Not sure what else as it is a full week already.

Last week: I managed to exercise 3 times last week.

DH got me a new plaid purse for Valentine's Day. All of my purses died on me. I got a taser thing for Christmas from DH and I did not want that. DH admitted he didn't know my likes and dislikes. I told him if he wanted to get me anything for Valentine's Day a purse would be a good start because I need one for each season. Last time I checked, I still like the same things: Sailor Moon, Bollywood, jewelery, plaid, etc.

Diet was thrown out the window. I made a caramel cheesecake at DH's request for Valentine's Day and again I had to attempt to finish it. I am starting to dislike DH's lactose intolerance. There were two pieces left that I threw out in the garbage disposal.

DS brought home so much candy from Valentine's Day. I am going to go crazy with all the sweets. At this point this is torture to me being pre-diabetic/borderline.

To make matters worse, there was a Girl Scout cookie booth outside of Albertson's during the weekend and I bought DH and DS thin mints. I think I ate 4 cookies so far. I can't win.

I didn't get one of the jobs I applied for. Two weeks ago I got a letter that they were reviewing my application and last week I got the rejection letter. I did not even get a chance to interview. There is the other job I applied for and I have not heard anything yet.

This week: I managed to exercise once so far. I can hope to exercise two more times.

I am going to try to continue my diet. All we have left is tons of candy and half a box of thin mints.

I am thinking of updating my resume. I am at a loss as to what to do since I got rejected.

I want to go shopping for some clothes.

I got 3 nice long walks in this week. I got a lot done for my mom, dad and for DH, but not much else for me.

Thank you cam, I guess that one wasn't meant to be.

When MH was applying for jobs last year, there were a few that the descriptions of what they were looking for were practically describing MH to the letter, yet he wouldn't get an interview even (and yes, he tailors his resume and cover letter to each job and all the other stuff that applicants are advised to do). I know on one job where I had an inside source, the position posting was only formality as an inside person was already slated for the job. Perhaps that was the situation in your case. Either way, I hope you find an awesome position.
