Limbo

No, I have not been doing the limbo I just feel like I am in limbo. The space between wanting to find a job and being sick of searching but knowing I have to keep at it and having that job and also a lot more motivation because I am not sitting in front of the computer in my bedroom filling out the same information over and over again.

I have an interview at Manpower on Monday but do not think it is a good thing that they have been consolidating their two local offices this week. There are several other staffing agencies that I have applied at and contacted and hope to hear from on Monday because otherwise I will be calling them again. I will not bore you with all the places I have applied but trust me, there have been a lot.

The hardest thing from keeping me motivated is not being able to hangout in any other part of the house during the day because 1) I need to be at my computer 2) the construction continues along with more dust and yucky allergies. I have found it difficult to interact with my aunt because she is always asking me what I am doing, where I am going, and lecturing me on job searching and which job I should take/apply for.

I have one friend from church but she is very busy. I have met other people from the 20-30 something group. They meet every 1st and 3rd Friday (but not tonight) to worship, hear a short message, and then go out for dinner. I hope to get to know more of those people better soon. They have a certain place where they sit in church so now I will always have someone to sit with, yea!

We have Adult Bible Fellowship before church each Sunday. Evidently the same two teachers teach a children's class all year long! They just opened a new baby room and got two volunteers even before I contacted them but I will be the back-up for nursery through two-year-olds. I will cherish those times:) Otherwise the 20-30 somethings have a group during that time and there are many others. I may check out a different one next Sunday just to see.

I hope to get a picture or two of my church to post on here. If you go to their website there are no pictures of it so I told my dad I would take some. I never thought I would feel comfortable at a large church but I LOVE Harvest. Besides meeting new people every time I go there during the week I love their ministries.

I am missing all of you and wish you could come visit. I do not miss Michigan yet, mainly because I know how cold and full of snow it is. In the summer will be a whole 'nother deal--I will miss the beach terribly.

About a week ago I tried talking to Aspen (my parents' golden retriever who I bonded with the day we took her home) on the phone but she was already on her doggy bed and only perked her ears up a little bit as if to say "you really want to talk to me now? don't you know my eyes have already rolled back in my head and are not registering?". Which by the way, I hate the time difference! With me being behind I am always calling people at bad times, sorry Mom! I think it would be better if Michigan was behind Texas, oh well.

Time for me to go, no wait, time for me to stay right here in my chair and do some more job searching. Next week I plan to go visit some places.

Love and miss you all, God Bless!
