Still Unemployed - Kind Of

Well, I am still unemployed and officially looking for work. The huge company I worked for doesn't appear to be hiring in this wonderful economic climate. The only bright spots are:

• Less stress - I am enjoying the time off.
• Contracting gigs - I found a company that hired me to perform contracting PHP development. It isn't the field I was in or want to be in but it pays. The jobs are self-assigning too.
  
• Losing weight - I am eating less and no take-out. Both the husband and I are shedding pounds.
• Personal projects - The mania of being jobless took over and I am cranking out those projects one by one.
  

Tired, tired and more tired

So I hurt my back. I haven't been online a lot for more than work because I couldn't sit for a few days. The first time I hurt my back it wasn't my fault.

It was just something that happened.

The second time it was all my fault. I was mostly recovered on a Monday a couple of weeks ago. Mondays are cardio days at the gym. I didn't want to go and I thought I should take it easy because I am still recovering. Then the stubborn side of me told myself I was just being a wimp and I should stand up and go to class. So I did.

And I had to leave half way through because I was in so much pain I could barely move. Instead of 3 days recovery I am working on 2 weeks and still counting. Did you know the lower back muscles are used for everything?

I'm a Failure

As a 1930's housewife. I can live with that.

6 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

I am really amazed that I fail so completely.

Note to Self

Turn on the kitchen lights and put on glasses before holding hand over hot pan to see if it is ready yet. The morning pancakes and fake Boca sausage was made exciting with a nice burn on my hand. Fortunately S's My Little Pony came with a pen to put in the freezer. Those make perfect palm-burn ice instruments.

Bloggy-goodness

I created this blog long ago but never wrote in it because I think personal blogs are stupid. Now I found that I wanna chat in the middle of the night so I will do it here instead.

Just got back from a 2.76 mile run and I am dripping sweat. It is hot, even in the middle of the night. Think I will sleep the rest of the summer away.
