Labor day weekend

I am enjoying a three day weekend, beginning yesterday with spending the whole day meandering with Sabine. We had a nice time, thrifting, eating visiting. We even went to the library. Today I have mowed some of the yard. It began to rain so I stopped, but I think the rest of the yard doesn't really even need it. So I likely won't finish.

I got a few of the anti-dust mite weapons yesterday, such as an air purifier, masks and a pillow cover. It is dreadful and hot. I think I need to think of other plans, as those anti-allergen fabrics do not breathe, and I must. I didn't sleep well with the purifier on. it was quite loud and I was aware of it and wasn't properly sleeping. So I turned it off around 3 and got a few hours of rest. But not enough, for I am already sleepy again.

I want to sew and do crafty things today. I love doing them, but I have such a problem getting started on them. I bought a pattern yesterday for a black dress to wear in October, maybe October of 2020, ha ha. But there is scrapbooking and painting and all sorts fo things I am wanting to do. I also want to clean up and get my sun room in order. Maybe I need to make a short list.

Last week, I had a phone interview, with an airconditioning manufacturing place, about 40 miles north of here. It wasn't paying enough, but it sure would be great to have a non government job. They took my hours again last week, then gave them back. I wonder what's in store for next week.

Also, I got called by a local subcontractor to work as the pubs person for the chief on an army command. This job would be a dream -- travel, power, influence, very scary. I had a visit with a girl who was doing some of the presentations etc., to see if I could do them. Then I was supposed to see the boss of the company, and then the army person. But she couldn't meet with me, so those two interviews were postponed until later. They didn't say when. But I imagine it will be like that, short notices, last miunute changes in plan. I am not sure I could do that, but it sounds quite exciting. And it occurs to me that I have eliminated excitement from my life in the past few years, probably in an effort to manage the financial part of things, and the previous chaos in my life. There really is nothing stopping me from having such an exciting life, and it would be nice to be an active senior citizen instead of an old woman.

I also had an interview with another small woman-owned company for the head of publications. It was going to involve lots of proposal work, but it wounded okay. I thought she liked me, but I haven't been contacted again yet. I am not sure how long things take. So maybe I shouldn't worry too soon.

Well, I think I will try to get busy with something productive, be it housework or crafting. Or maybe even a nap.
