Been working like crazy all week, and my only time off was yesterday, when I still managed to get 400 photos edited and some paperwork done/emails sent off. Worked my ass off all today too, and just sent off the goods. Now I need to do the dishes, shower, and get to bed.
I did have one nice thing happen though - when I got home from grocery shopping this morning I saw the cutest little roadrunner bopping around the complex!
He wasn't too keen on me getting a photo of him, but he was just too cute! Later, when I was grilling, some cardinals and bluejays kept flying down and then disappearing as soon as I stepped out the door. I wish they would realize I'm trying to be their friend - I mean, I do put food out for them all the time, and try to take their picture, and I have no designs on grilling them along with my chicken thighs!!
At least the weather has cooled down and I can have the windows open right now. It's really gorgeous and I love having the fresh air in my apartment, instead of stale food smells.
I really need a job. I've been applying here, there, and everywhere, and nothing! I'm going to make some follow-up phone calls and emails tomorrow after class. Mom has agreed to help me for October if I can't get both ends to meet, but I NEED a second job (and goodness knows, maybe a third) ASAP. And to publish a book. It's only been a week since I sent off my novel so I have to wait for three more before I send it elsewhere.
It's the Jewish New Year tonight. I was invited to some services but I couldn't go because of the work. Sigh.
Also, I found that the Metropolitan Opera has a streaming service you can access through Roku and I'm DYING to get it, but it's $15/mo which works out to nearly $200/yr and I just don't have that...not while I have Netflix and Amazon Prime and I'm not shuffling those off.
Oh well. I have my windows open, Standards/Vocal Jazz Radio playing on Pandora on my tv, and it's time to clean up that kitchen, do the dishes, and get ready for bed. How I loathe early rising! On Mondays most of all!!!
