Taylor had her third soccer game today and again pitched a shutout!. They won 4-0!Taylor had a few good saves and did a good job of clearing out the ball. Every team in the league has at least one loss, except for Tay’s 
Well, I didn’t get the job. It’s the first time I have not been offered a job I’ve applied for…it doesn’t feel great. I was really sure that I would get it…It was perfect for me…perfect field, perfect hours, perfect work schedule. I have to hope there is something better in store for me. Taylor reminded me that I already have the perfect job and I didn’t even have to apply for it…being a mom. She is right, of course. I will just have to find another way to help my family….being the great mom that I am.
At least, my suspense is ended and I can move on…that’s a relief.
(For some reason, this post did not publish yesterday, so here it is now:)
I’m feeling much better about things…I have my car back! Despite the big bill, it’s so nice to have a working car again, no thumping, no smoking, no squealing! Yay!
I also have an appointment for a Biopsy…next Tuesday…and I feel like that is finally moving forward.
I spoke with the HR office again at DSC and they are hoping for a decision tomorrow. I have no idea what the hangup has been, and if there really is a decision tomorrow, I’ll be shocked, but at least it’s something.
Today has been a frustrating day. First, we took the van in to the Dealer to see about making the repairs it needs…we found out that it is going to cost about $1200.00 to repair. I was debating even doing it, since I want to get a new van if I get this job, but since I don’t know about the job, I told them to go ahead. At least maybe we can recoup some of the cost if we trade it in or sell it.
Second, the job is still undecided. I called the Human Resource office at DSC and I called the ETS director directly, but she said to call the HR office. They didn’t know what was happening (big surprise) but said they would get back to me which they never did. My friend Marsha, who was in on the interviews, emailed me today and said that I should have heard by now (which led me to believe that I did NOT get it) but then she emailed me again and told me that they still have not made the final decisions and that there might be another PT opening at Millcreek High and perhaps they are trying to fill that from this round of applicants rather than open it up again. In any case, it is overly frustrating that it is taking so long. I really am trying to be patient (even though it doesn’t sound like it) but it’s been two months since the original closing date and a week since the interview which seems excessive to me. Plus, with the aforementioned car repairs, it would be nice to know for sure.
Lastly, with my health: I called the Dr’s office today to schedule the Biopsy, but their computers were down and the nurse said that they needed to put my name in the computer system which then automatically assigns me a time and day for the appt. and then they call me to let me know….except that they never called me, either. And I have a bunch of kanker sores in my mouth…and I am having a much more mundane monthly ailment, which caused me to miss church yesterday and now everyone thinks I’m dying. I’ve had phone calls, and one person brought me some spaghetti sauce and a box of spaghetti…which was very nice. But really, I’m feeling just fine…though frustrated that this is taking so long too.
Hopefully, the coming days will bring me some resolution. I am tired of writing about the same issues over and over again…as tired as you are of reading about them, I’m sure. I really feel like everything will be all right. I just need to be more patient in awaiting my fate.
I went into my Ultrasound appointment today where they found that I have two nodules rather than just one. Bummer. I came home and called the Doctor’s office to see about getting my next Biopsy appointment and I was told that the Doctor is out of town until next Tuesday. So, I’m to call back next Tuesday. I am trying not to let myself get frustrated….it’s so hard though, especially when they keep proving all of my preconceptions right. But, I guess there is no hurry. I did find out that the headaches I’ve been having may be caused by the nodules pressing against blood vessels that feed my brain. Not cool….but interesting.
No news on the job still. Also frustrating.
The girls are great…except for Taylor who seems to go through spurts of despair and friendlessness every 6.8 hours….I’m sure she’ll perk up again soon. She’s playing her flute, which always cheers her up. She’s very good at it, so it’s easy to see why that would make her happy. I haven’t told the girls everything about my health, they know I’ve been going to the Dr. alot but they don’t know why. I don’t want to freak them out…since they are very freakable.
Thank you to all of you who have spoken with me and wished me well! Your support means so much to me. I love you and I will keep you updated as I know more.
My dearest companion, my friend, my confidaunt, my little squirrel got caught in the new trap and has been taken away. I didn’t even get to say goodbye 
This little guy has taken up residence outside my window, they have been trying to catch him all week, but he appears to be smarter than the trap. He will jump on the trap to spring it, he has even grabbed the release lever a couple of times to trip it. He often stands on top of the trap to look at me. I think he is saying, “Not gonna catch me.”
With the Job: I’m afraid if I haven’t heard from them by now, that they have probably offered it to someone else. They would likely call the winner first, then spend the rest of the day telling the rest of us. There’s still hope (this is the Schools we’re waiting on and they haven’t been the quickest bunch so far) but I’m not sure at this point.
With the Dr: I went in, paid my $25.00 and was there long enough for him to say “Yes there is something there” and then they scheduled me another appointment for an Ultrasound tomorrow. So no news on that front either. We won’t likely know anything after the Ultrasound either since the Dr. said that it would probably be necessary for another Ultrasound when they actually do the thing. Who knows when that will be….I’ll post more when I know more.
I am finally inteviewing for the Dixie College ETS job tomorrow. It’s been about 7 weeks since I originally turned in my application. I was so excited when the process all started, but over time I’ve lost some of my enthusiasm. I just couldn’t maintain that level of anticipation..it was too stressful, but I’m starting to feel better about it now that it’s actually happening. Anyway, I’m hoping that from here on out the whole thing will be over quickly. I would just like to know one way or the other. Wish me luck. I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
I finally did some work on my layout. I wanted to make a nice entrance into the subdivision. Next up, planting corn on the farm.
