I wish today was just like every other day

ljgeoffI woke up this morning feeling very failure-y.
(My inner editor cringes at that sentence, but that's the sentence that came off my fingers and I'm sticking to it.)
I'd dreamed that Sisseton called and wanted me to come back and finish my LPN. I was so happy that I burst into tears. Bastards.
Things that are going on in my life:
-- Tomorrow I'm having a colonoscopy, so today I am doing that poop-out-everything thing. Yay.
-- I'm interviewing for a couple of jobs. On Monday, I'm interviewing for a teaching job at Career Quest -- the "interview" is me giving a 15 min presentation on diabetes. I've never auditioned for a job but I'm a damn good speaker. I have hopes. Next week I have an interview for a management position at Goodwill.
-- There is an abandoned house right across the street from our trailer park entrance. I'm going to try to get a hold of the owner and ask if I can exchange a garden with monthly mowing.
-- Mike and I are buying a used Festiva off Ebay. The owner is in Raleigh, North Carolina. We're not sure exactly when we'll get it (if we get it) -- I'm hoping for late February or Early March. But the owner might want us to come get it now, or late January, anyways. We were thinking of taking I-70 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) to I-66, and then cut south through Richmond, Virginia and to Raleigh. We'll spend at least one night somewhere between Richmond and Raleigh, and maybe two. Anybody want to have dinner?
-- I want to write, but am feeling particularly fail-y about it. Oh, I can write a scene just fine. Lovely description. Very nice dialog. But is it a story? Not so much. Help.
-- I want to build a model of a steam-powered truck. Either a 1/16 or 1/32, based on the Unimog. Unfortunately, I lack essential skills. This (perhaps also unfortunately) is not a deterrent. Is anyone interested in doing this with me? I need place to start. Mike kinda has it in his head, and I have it in my head a little bit. I know that drawings should be first, but I am crap at drawings and Mike is worse. I know I should throw up my hands and yell "I can't do this!" but I'm not very good at that, either. So I am fretting, which is silly, but there you are.
-- I have not heard yet from USC. More fretting.

Hang in there.

Date: 2012-01-08 01:07 pm (UTC)I need to get a job. Weirdly, I just don't feel like it. I've never been like this. Working is what I do. Huh.
Tomorrow, I'm interviewing for a teaching job (for CNAs) at a Voc Ed school. It would be cool to get this job. After the interview, Mike and I are heading up to the Negaunee house for a few days to help my dad with the remodeling of the bathrooms.
