A few highlights from the weekend!

Friday

  • Receiving a letter from a stranger in the mail. Huh? Ha, I will explain. Whenever I see articles asking for cards to be send to someone (a veteran hitting a milestone birthday for example) I send one. Recently, I sent a card to a young girl with autism. I was nervous about the card I picked because it had glitter underneath plastic on it, and I didn’t know if that would be a sensory overload for her (I made sure it was sealed and no glitter would come off, but you are never safe with glitter). But her mom sent a thank you saying the sparkle and glitter made her daughter so happy. Aww, yay!
  • A breeze on my run and thinking of situational interview examples while running (and drafting them out when I got home).
  • Reading and lying with Starbuck.
  • Checking out The Baby-Sitters Club on Netflix.
  • El Famous for dinner.

Saturday

  • Getting some chores done. I’ve been so focused on my job application and now, interview topic ideas, that I’ve been neglecting chores and it’s REALLY bugging me. I spend a lot of time thinking about it, feeling anxious. So on Saturday after my run (notice the run’s NOT on this list, ha), I tidied up the kitchen, shredded everything on the shred pile, completely cleaned out the fridge and freezer, and reorganized the coat closet. And made cookies for our upcoming river trip! (Steven spent the entire day working with an electrician on power for the garage, so he had a very productive day too!)
  • Working on interview examples and a project facts sheet.
  • A video chat with my brother-in-law.

Sunday

  • A breeze on my morning run, and practicing interview questions while I ran.
  • Steven making me a breakfast sandwich after I finished workouts.
  • A short nap before lunch. (I got up at 3:10 and could not fall back asleep so I was pretty tired!)
  • Grilling lunch.
  • Working on essay question ideas in Dragonstone while Steven worked on electrical.
  • Reading my “kudos” work email folder for encouragement.
  • Remembering you can take ibuprofen for aches other than a headache. Ha! I only ever think to take medicine for a headache but it works for other things too. Derp.

Lowlights

  • Getting super sunburned on Friday’s run. I ran later than normal and forgot to wear sunscreen.
  • So much anxiety about if I get an interview and when will it be.
