What I'm Doing With Myself

No, not that...get your minds out of the gutter, you perverts.  So today is four weeks since I was unceremoniously terminated.  Joy.  In addition to applying for unemployment, spiffing up my resume, and looking for jobs, I've been doing other things.  There has been much more mom taxiing since my schedule obviously allows more easily for that.

I've been able to attend Isaac's home games on a regular basis for the first time in three years.  I've been glad for that.










He seems less glad as evidenced by this "put down the freaking camera" pose while the teams were at the opposite end of the field.  I think mainly he's really self-conscious since this is the first time he has ever played the game.

Over the weekend Diana and I went to the state's largest fair.  The rest of the family wasn't interested so Diana and I had fun without them.  I was sort of stunned by some of the fare at the
fair.








I'm wiggling uncomfortably at the thought of this.

Not really my taste but I know others who are fans.

I've also been messing around with my camera a little.  Calypso and I have been getting under each other's skin lately for a variety of reasons.  A couple days ago she gave me a couple of small sunflowers to say she was sorry for being less than sunny.







I took some time to lick my wounds and just try to get my feet back under me.  I'm coming out from under the clouds and trying to set my face toward the sun like the sunflowers.

I've bumped into a a couple more patients who were both sad to hear I'd be let go.  One told me she misses my warm and smiling greeting because my replacement is cold and incompetent. One was the HR secretary at a local school's administrative office when I went to drop off an application.  She was very encouraging and let me know she intended to speed my application along because she likes me.  Fingers crossed....
