Dog Sitting

2/14/18 -- For the second time within a month, I am dog sitting.  It requires me to spend the night at the house with the dog, then I leave for about 6hrs or so, like I am working, spend that time at my place taking care of my cats.  I leave my cats a bit of extra food in both of their dishes that does carry them over til I return the next morning.

  It's not a bad way to earn some money. In the mean time I have been still getting online and job search.  I probably haven't been online as often as I want to be, but that is only because I am so tired of hunting, applying, up loading my resume' and having nothing positive come out of it.  I have had interviews but nothing else come out of them too.  Soo, irritated, discouraged and just want to give up.

  I haven't given up but I just wish there was an easier way to get a job.  This whole thing of not having a job, is such a pain in the butt!!  

  Went to a "care plan meeting" at the nursing home where my dad is, met my mom there.  I was surprised that my sister wasn't there but evidently she had to work earlier that she thought.  It had been awhile since the last time I had seen my dad.  It still is so hard for me to see him, in that place.

Song

 I know that is song is a "Christmas Song" but I believe that the words can be worshiped and applied, as much now, as at Christmas.

First Milestone

2/11/18 -- Yesterday was my little sister's birthday, the one that past away, back in Sept. '17.  A couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me that her birthday was coming up, so I texted my middle sister and suggested that either the two of us spend the as much of the day with our mom, as we could; or split the day between us.  Anything to make sure that mom wasn't alone all day long, on that day.  Well, we had it worked out that I would spend the first part of the day with mom then she would come down and spend the rest of the day with her.  Also, we decided not to say anything to her ahead of time.
  So, I let mom know that I was planning on coming down sometime mid-morning on Saturday, and that if she wanted me to do anything or make anything, I could do it then.  I didn't tell her anything more than that.  I went down and she had me clean off the counter in the kitchen, because she has had a rather stubborn little mouse.  She had ordered something that would allow her to spray it on the counter and the mouse wouldn't return.  She needed the counter cleaned off to make spraying it much easier.  Not only did we clean off the counter but we also decluttered it.  Boy, oh boy, it looks so much better now!  You can actually see that the counter is bigger than it looked.
  After all of that we went out to lunch, to Long John Silvers/KFC.  Yes, in my hometown, the restaurants are in the same building.  During lunch, my sister texted wanting to know what we were doing.  I responded but for some reason the message didn't get sent til after we had returned to mom's house.  My sister said that she had a migraine and needed to get rid of it before coming down.
Then she asked mom, what her and I end up doing?  Mom, naturally, was a little curious as to how my sister knew that I was going to be with her?  At that point, I explained that my sister and I hatched a plan to make sure that she wasn't alone on our little sister's birthday(the first one after her death)  Then mom started crying.  Shared some of the different things that she has been experiencing like.....dreaming about her and hearing her say "mom, mom". We both had a good cry, we both miss her, but I am pretty sure that mom misses her the most because mom spent so much of her life taking care of her.
  Mom, was very appreciative that my younger sister and I wanted to be sure that she wasn't alone, yesterday.  I know she was a bit surprised that my sister and I worked something out together, after all, her and I still haven't been getting along very well.
  I told mom that even though her and I aren't getting along, right now, we still love mom and we can agree to make sure mom is taken care of.

Something New, I think

2/8/18 -- Yesterday was a bad day...I woke up with a seriously bad headache, one that just knocked me out for the count, for the whole day.  It actually took 3 doses of my pain mediations for it to finally take it back a couple of notches.  I started to finally feel better early in the evening.  The pain meds make me tired but that is just fine because I really want to do is sleep, anyway.  I turned my blinds so the brightness wasn't just streaming at my face, I just couldn't handle the brightness.  I did however have to go out to put my car on the correct side of the street, I found a pair of sunglasses and wore them as I uncovered my car, from the snow, and moved it.
  Today, according to the weather, we are expecting more snow, so I will just move my car into the back parking lot, so that I am not on the street for the cleanup.
  I reestablished my account on eharmony and have been chatting with a man that is only about an hour from me, which is a good thing.  He is in the construction trade and apparently is the lead man, cause he was successful in getting a contract to build a bridge in Kenya.  I am really hoping to meet him, in person, soon.  It seems that we have a lot in common.  More in common than with the other two guys that I have met.
  I still don't have a job, which is very irritating.  I do have a dog sitting job that starts this weekend and lasts for two weeks. I am more than likely going to be spending the night at the house, with the dog, then spending part of the day, at my place.  Since I do have to make sure my cats are taken care of and the house isn't that far from where I live, so I can leave as if I am going to work, and then go back in the evening or around supper time.  Then just be there for the night.  
  I am supposed to meet with the dog's owners this evening for the lowdown on the dog's routine, and get a key or something for getting in and out of the house.  I am not so sure that the timing of the meeting is a good idea cause this big snow storm is supposed to start in about a half an after the meeting starts, so I am not sure we are going to do the meeting.
  The man across the hall from me is still interested in me, I am not quite sure what to do about that.  We really haven't done much in quite awhile.  Then there is the guy that I had been interested in, that lives about 2 1/2 hours away from me but his interest in me  seems to be more on the sexual side, purely physical than anything else.  I just don't feel that same connection to him that he seems to think and behave like he has to me. There are things that he has said that just makes me feel that his attraction to me is purely physical and I am no all that comfortable with that.  The guy across the hall, started out purely physical, but I put a stop to everything because I just wasn't comfortable with the way he made me feel and how fast things were progressing.  We hadn't done anything but he was pestering me with the things he would say and where he would put his hands, on me.  I just couldn't deal with that either.
  The current man that I am chatting with on google hangouts, seems different but I have yet to meet him, in person.  So, we'll see.
I so want to get married but I just don't want to give myself away to just anyone.  It has to be someone that God matches with me with.  I am using an internet site to expose myself to other single men, as difficult as that is.  I just don't get out all that much to meet single men, all that much, especially the type of man that I want to meet.
