The Big Day of Work

No, not all July posts will begin with "The Big"-whatever, I'm just on a roll. And today is a big day of work, I went to Job #1, then cut out early to go visit my disastrous kiosk at a local public library where I discovered the monitor is on the fritz and there's nothing I can do about it, and now I'm here at Job #2 where I did one of my other jobs, the skin care class job so I could make some extra $. Tomorrow night I'll be doing yet another of my jobs, gigging with Jimmy, and then on Sunday I'll be doing the Sheriff's job with Mudflap. If I don't put most Jamaicans to shame then I don't know who does.

Still sending out resumes, and still waiting. This makes 4 resumes that I've got out there in the world. In the meantime, I got some proposed times/dates for next week to discuss my future at Job #1 and I chose Monday! Let's get this over with!!!

Yesterday was a hoot, even if I did come down with S's cold. I felt myself fighting it off beginning Tuesday night, and early afternoon yesterday felt defeat as it overcame my system. But I still mustered enough energy to make a big batch of jambalaya, take the baby to the Chirren's Museum, then meet Tito J. for the drive down south to his brother's house for 4th of July celebrations. Where we had so much fun! The baby had several other kids to play with, and play they did. R. and her PIG showed up and I enjoyed visiting with them and catching up. They along with Tito J. listened patiently and sympathetically to my bitching about Job #1. Later, the kiddie pool was dragged out and filled and water gun and balloon mayhem ensued. I love seeing the baby have fun! Seeing her laugh and enjoy herself makes all the bad of the world go away, even if only momentarily.

So now I'm on Nyquil and Dayquil and that's the only thing that's keeping my body upright. In the too-early a.m. I have to drop off the baby at J.'s house and immediately go teach a class to senior citizens on how to find health information on the Internet--a group I've never taught before! But I'm an excellent teacher so I don't need practice, I just need an audience! At least I'm getting off work at 2, which'll give me the chance to spend a little time with the baby before I go gig with Jimmy.
