Day 97 - Wegmans

I thought I knew what I wanted to write about today, but nothing's coming out.

I thought maybe I could talk about my pending trip to Wegmans, which is crazy the week of Thanksgiving. Then I thought I could talk about what I'm planning to make to bring to the family, but it's just corn casserole and brownies. Then I thought I could talk about my walk with the dogs today and our chat with my favorite old lady, but I just talked about her the other day. Then I thought I could talk about my mammogram this morning, but if you've had one, you know.

So I'm out of ideas.

I suspect part of it has to do with the fact that I wrote a blog post for my husband's business today, so maybe I used up all of my words for the day.

Another part is probably because I'm laying on the couch, trying to ignore how comfy and cozy I am with the dogs and a blanket, and I keep yawning even though I need to go to Wegmans.

I guess I started this blog to help me work out how I'm feeling sometimes, but I'm really just feeling tired today. I'm also feeling excited because I was assigned a mentor through the SCORE Mentor program. I am looking forward to his advice, and to hopefully figuring out my training situation.

So I think that's it for now. If you see me out at Wegmans, tell me to come home and take a nap. Please, I'm so tired.

Day 66 - Revelation

I’m not sure what triggered the conversations. I talked to 3 women last week who had all been diagnosed with ADHD late in life. One of them was my sister, and that’s important, because guess what ADHD has? A strong hereditary link. The other two were girlfriends - very different careers. Children at very different stages of their life. Different ages for their diagnosis. And while the wording was different, the message was the same - probably time for you to get evaluated. Actually, I think when I told my sister “I think I have ADHD,” her reply was something close to “no fucking shit.” You know, lovingly. There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother where the sound of glass shattering plays whenever someone notices an annoying habit of one of the other characters. I tend to hear it in my head when I feel a lightbulb moment, and this past week has been nothing but glass shattering in my head. Why did I stay up until 1am in high school to type out my chemistry labs when no one else was do...

Day 1 - here I go again

In first or second grade, I found a book in the school library of rhymes and old wives' tales about weather predictions. It was things like "Red sky at night, sailor's delight.” I was hooked. From that point on, I wanted to study the weather. In second grade, I begged my teacher to let me do the weather report for the classroom at least once a week. I was obsessed with a book about how to conserve water. I studied maps, and went to Lake Ontario with Dad to look for waterspouts (I'm embarrassed to say that despite the fact I've spent most of my life on the Great Lakes, I still haven't seen one.) In 4th grade, the dad of one of my classmates worked in the control tower of our airport. This was pre-2001, so he arranged a tour for the class. We got to see some pretty cool things and overheard pilots talking. This drew me in, and by the time I watched a special about the Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta with my dad, I was so sure I would work at an airport. In ...

Day 120 - Dessert

I'm feeling a little off today. Not just because I'm still dealing with the congestion from whatever this sickness was from over the weekend, but because I'm still unemployed. I think I just don't know what to do next. I had an interview yesterday for a departmental supervisor at a local store, but it didn't go great. I was very out of practice for the interview, which was a surprise to me, and the interview was weird. It was clear that the interviewer had a script that needed to be read and answered in order. None of my jokes landed, and they were funny. I'm funny! Or at least witty. And when I asked some follow-up questions about one of their questions, they didn't have an answer for me. It made me question if I even want this job, and that's the first time that's happened so far this job search. I've also only had 4 interviews (out of 80+ applications), so I guess I haven't had a lot of say in what position is right for me. Today, I was, a...
