My job search is an emotional roller coaster. Many many highs and lows and one very quickly approaching deadline. I think most schools are starting the last week of August. New teachers probably start in-service two weeks before the first day of school, so I need to get hired by... ummm... Monday? Not looking good. I've had four interviews at four high schools, and one more scheduled. I've also got a few other prospects in the works, but again nothing serious seems to be happening. I cannot takes the ups and downs of this process, maybe I'm just way too emotionally invested, but I get incredibly excited when I schedule an interview. My mind starts wondering... where should we move if I take get this job, when do I need to put in my notice at my job, when will I get my first check, how much will it be... all very exciting, then I don't get it, sad day.
My dogs have a new friend... a cat that loves to hang out in my front yard. She's a cute gray cat with green eyes. She seems pretty nice and not scared, obviously if she's brave enough to hang out around those two idiots. The problem is they LOVE to bark at her through the window when she's out there, which is a lot of the time, and its getting old, fast. They are also still into digging in the trash. Ridiculous, but I guess it's better than chewing on shoes or the furniture, or the sheet rock. They're pretty good boys.
Wedding planning as hit another wall... We book the DJ... and that's it. Next on the list: (1) Reserve a block of rooms, I've already decided where I really just need to call. (2) Order and send out Save the Dates. (3) Find a place for the rehearsal dinner, probably decided just need to stop looking for some magical better cheaper place. (4) Dress shopping! but probably not until I've got a job lined up...
Running is not happening, ever. It's way too hot. It's even too hot at the gym. And I seem to be too stressed out for yoga. I can't imagine staying in one place for an hour, too busy.
Teaching may or may not be your path. Scientist is way cool! You'll be shown a way. Yoga, young padawan, is a time of being and breathing. It is practice. You may not feel successful every time, but you should still practice. The success is in the practice. See ya tomorrow. Love ya, Beth
