Etc.

I have been remiss in my writing lately.  I apologize.  I don’t have anything interesting to report. I subbed for that 2nd grade class again on Thursday, and it was a much better day.

I took Friday off; the 2nd graders wore me out…lol.  Our book club met late on Thursday night, too.  I got home after 8pm.  Our club met at 5pm!  My phone rang all morning for sub jobs, too!

Actually, I had some personal business to take care of on Friday.  I applied for a Middle School English/Language Arts Long Term Sub job.  The district is not my preference, but I do enjoy Middle School teaching.  The pay is much better as a Long Term Sub as opposed to a daily sub.  The job posting closes on Monday.  Maybe I will hear about an interview sometime next week, or maybe not…

I also kept my grandson on Friday for a few hours.  My son and his wife went out to grab dinner and have some quiet time.  It was fun.  Isaiah is now five months old and is very verbal.  I love to hear him coo.  His latest thing is nodding his head.  He is so darn cute!  His big sister was spending the night with the other grandparents.

I was supposed to go to a matinee movie with a Curves friend, but she decided not to go.  Darn!  I  missed dinner with my son and his family just waiting for her call.  She said she will let me know about whether she wants to go tomorrow, but I think I will make plans to take my granddaughter to the library and to my place.  I am not giving up another whole day to wait on a phone call that might not come.

Oh!  I followed up on my Walmart and Kohls’ on-line applications.  Two Walmarts are not hiring til maybe 1 Feb.  I still need to follow up on the 3rd Walmart.  The first time I called, the Personnel Staff were in a morning meeting (Monday).  I called again on Tuesday and the Personnel Staff were not in the store! Then I subbed on Wed. and Thurs. so I did not call them back.  I had other things to do on Friday, so I still need to follow up with them on Monday.  Kohls is not hiring until April or May.  So I will call them again when Spring rolls around.  I am still waiting to hear back from Hallmark.  I am sure I am 1 of the many 1000s who have applied for the local job…sigh. 

Today was nice and quiet.  I washed the Sienna van and the Camry.  It was a beautiful day today.  I also worked out at Curves around 11:00am.  I have been productive, so my day was not totally wasted on waiting for the phone call about the matinee.  It is 7:10pm; I have plenty of time to read and/or watch a movie.  I have a NETFLIX movie to watch:  The 5th Quarter.  I will fill you in on the review after I watch it.

Have a great rest of the night!
