Well, I don't want to get ahead of myself and start acquiring a whole set of new expectations, but I did get an email last Thursday from the "people who hold my future in their hands". They informed me that I met their 'hiring standards' and that I was still in the running for a job that 270 people applied to. I am HAPPY. Honestly, if I get this job, I will be floored ... I almost don't think I will, but hey, knowing that I am not tossed out in the first round is nice to know and gave me a little dash of extra hope.
Well, and then my best buddy Steve has his procedure done this coming Thursday. They are removing quite a bit of his calf. The doctor compared it to a shark-bite procedure. After that, there will be a bunch of testing (and praying) that nothing has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. Steve has always been one of the most optimistic persons I know. I think this trait will be helpful in his recovery process.
Other than that, I went on a little road trip with the BF yesterday and took pics. I saw a bunch of cows grazing on fields and it reminded me of how excited Sparky would get during our little trips. Whenever he saw cows, he would stand up in his seat and start pacing and whimpering, begging to be let out. He LOOOVVVVEEEEDDDD cows. I knew he would have had a ball. When I finally got home and uploaded my pics, I noticed two pics had a rainbow image on them. At the time I took the pics, there were no rainbows any where ... but part of my likes to believe that whenever there's a rainbow, Sparks is not far behind.
I love you, puppy ... and I miss you.
Congratulations on making it past round #1!!! You should be proud and excited...! I agree, about the rainbows, and am sure it was Sparky shining down on you!
ReplyDeleteFunny how day to day life changes in everyway sometimes. Hope your friend has a good outcome and sails through his surgery and I hope your 'dream job' becomes a reality.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about road trips that always reminds me of my former traveling companion -- it might be the picture of here pasted on the dash -- or like you say they would have so enjoyed this or that.
cheers from the north xo
hello?
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to see how you are. Noticed my last comment isn't here? I often mess up posts before posting, not sure what my problem is.
Hope all is well.
