I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to specifically talk about in list form today, so you’re getting random stuff instead. Hah.
1) I got turned down for the job I applied for and REALLY wanted. It would have been the perfect job, and an increase from what I was making at my last [sucky] job. At least they were nice enough to call and let me know, but…still. There pretty much aren’t any other jobs right now that I both a) qualify for and b) would make enough money working there. Suck. We can’t buy a house until I have a [good paying] job…and who knows when another one will come along? Last time I had to wait almost 4 months before another good job opened up.
2) I had a kidney infection this last weekend. PAIN. Unimaginable pain…I’m pretty sure the only thing that can even come close in comparison would be my worst migraine EVER. On Saturday and Sunday my back was hurting a little bit and increasing in pain factor, by late Monday morning I could barely walk, my right kidney hurt so badly. I went to the doctor and got a prescription for antibiotics, and then a follow up call with the doc yesterday revealed that I did indeed have a bacterial infection. Apparently the strain of bacteria I have is really rare, though not necessarily more dangerous than any other bacteria. So…hopefully this round of antibiotics will clear it up. I have to go in for another appointment after I’m done with this bottle of pills (10 days) to make sure it’s cleared up; if not, possibly another double-dose round of antibiotics and a recommended ultrasound to make sure nothing’s REALLY wrong. Pray this round of antibiotics kicks that bacteria out, because I don’t want to pay for an ultrasound out of pocket!
Serratia Marcescens. Evil bacteria.
3) I had a great idea for a necklace I could make. It would be a TEA Party necklace (you know, as in “Taxed Enough Already”?). I found some really cool antique silver American flag charms, as well as a charm in the shape of a tea bag that has “TEA” stamped on it, and some really super cool pendant-shaped sea glass beads. I have a great idea for how to put the necklace together, but I don’t know for sure that they would sell, and before I spend $40 (ish) on supplies to make them, I’d want to make sure they’d sell. And since there’s no way to know that ahead of time…yeah. Probably won’t make them.
4) I made two loaves of banana bread on Tuesday. It’s almost completely gone. We love banana bread. I used this recipe, and it. is. spectacular. Probably the moistest (is that a word?) banana bread I’ve ever made. MAKE IT. You won’t be sorry.
5) Speaking of websites, I have a new favorite website. It’s called dafont.com, and it’s BAJILLIONS of free fonts. FREE FONTS. I think I might have a slight addiction to awesome typography, and this website discovery isn’t helping any. I want to download them alllllllllllllllll…….
That is all. Have a great weekend!
