Sunday News

 Today I actually feel okay eventhough I'm facing 5-7 days of nothingness.

I brought my list of 8 things to do downstairs.

I decided it would be okay if I wanted to go out and get lunch everyday. It's a win because if I do go, I get yummy lunch. If I don't go, there's always the high of cancelled plans! Yay. 

Oh, remember how I was thinking about emailing a contact from Call Center #1 for a big girl job? Well, I think I'm going to do it. I did some more internet sleuthing and I don't actually think the contact I have is the hiring manager so it lowered the stakes a little bit. And then after I slept on it, I decided it would be better to not ask to chat. I don't know her that well so I don't want to put her on the spot. And since she's probably not the hiring manager, that wouldn't be particularly beneficial to me.  And this way, I don't have to keep checking my email to see when she responds or prep for a meeting, even it was informal.

I like the email I drafted so far because she really doesn't have to do anything. She can read the email, delete the email, or forward to the hiring manager (desirable).

And for me, I get the little bit of spunk out. This is as low risk as I can get short of doing nothing. Doing nothing is what Stable Brain would prefer.

But I have nothing to lose and the benefit of if I got this would be totally worth it! 

I like it too because I don't have to hold my breath for long. I gave it the first Tuesday after I applied - crickets. Now, I'm going to sleep on my draft and send it tomorrow. Then wait until Tuesday to see if I get any kind of response. If nothing, then that's okay. I'm not at work, so whatever feelings can be nursed while not on the clock.  And again, I don't have to worry about her agreeing to chat or prepping for a chat or getting nervous, etc! 

I decided to glide over the fact that I interviewed previously and just went with "we met a few years ago."

This is also a welcomed distraction from Feelings. 

Other than that, nothing else going on. 

I'm typing topless and it feels drafty and liberating. Maybe that'll be my theme for the weekend. NakedGirl Summer (TM)... haha. 

There was a period in my life when I wanted a secret and I would go to work without underpants in the summer. It was fun. Why did I stop doing that? 

Bumble

I may or may not have mentioned that I'm on Bumble. I joined Bumble BFF after reading about it on someone else's blog. They had more luck than I did. I hate sharing my information on social media so I was extremely reluctant. I put up 1 picture, then 2. Now I just put up a "sexy" picture I found on the internet. So we shall see. 

Basically, I've had nothing more than 2 or 3 very dry chats. 

If McDs is still running $1 fries in the app, I might get that and finish yawning to whatever is streaming on my TV right now. 

Other than that, it's business as usual.  Oh wait, I almost forgot! Yesterday night, a strange woman rang my doorbell about 9 times. I hid upstairs to watch her walk away. I thought she was the neighbor but about 15 minutes later I saw her emerge from the house 2 doors down. So I think she was just ringing people's doorbells.  It was dark and scary. I ended up barricading my doors and windows and locked my bedroom door. I didn't actually know my bedroom door had a lock, so fun fact.

Yeah, it was weird. It's made me consider more about getting a video doorbell and security cameras.  At the very least I want to get a motion light for the front door as well. 

Household chores just don't tickle my fancy anymore (let's be honest - they never did).

More and more, I've been thinking about moving back to an apartment with a balcony. I just wish I could find an affordable one. Oh well.
