Frame of Reference

Do you ever find yourself alone, maybe staring out of the window and your mind just comes up with these really bizarre scenarios ? It's sometimes jarring what the imagination can create.  I had a dream last night about a fire. For the first time I was able to put it out. Unfortunately, right after that when we were all milling around outside there was a terrible mud/rock slide. I think I need to find a book to read. My mind isn't being occupied enough. It's like listening to a four year old tell an hour long story that should only take a couple of minutes. Entertaining and sometimes cute, but way too much filler. LOL  

Sweet sedation sweeps the issues... I had an interview today at an organic food store. You know the kind where everything is soy and there are aisles of vitamins. I think it went pretty well. Typical questions were asked and I think I did alright. Made the guy laugh anyway. But then he had an older lady I'd be working with come over for a 'peer interview'. I don't think the word 'peer' applied but I understood we'd be working together. She had the coolest irish accent ever! She sat down in front of me and whipped out a notepad followed by "Okay, I have a few questions." My eyebrows shot up and I had to bite back a giggle. It was nothing though, standard questions. I think I impressed her with my knowledge of Tea Tree Oil.  After that I perused Best Buy for a little window shopping, minus the windows. While I was there my old boss from the restaurant called me and asked if I could cover a shift next week at this other place she works at during the w...

The sunlight deceives in this thoughtless wonder bright rays that promise warmth are just for show an illusion in the making and naught but cold But imagine the warmth that the sun could bestow unto violin beats that mimic the heart with strings that echo and Light that dances behind shadows who bow with grace Whispers in the timeless space that exists in between one breath and the next that I hold behind pale lips shiver not, feel not but warmth of promises yet to be made

I went to the store today to buy food. It's so much fun buying food when you have to look at the prices. I'm sure I sounded like a little old lady in the aisles: "MY GOD!! 4 dollars for this?? That's insanity. We're being robbed!!" while shoving the item back on to the shelf with disdain, like the item itself is offensive. Also went to this little park/beach area and took some pictures. It was -FRIGID- today! Got some good shots though. Also got barked at by this adorable little schnauzer that had the typical 'small dog who thinks it's a killer' syndrome. Gotta love it.  I've become a Sudoku master. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Tremble before me! HAHAHA

I'm making stuff for the holidays. I will leave it at that in all it's 'vague' glory wonderfulness. You never know. I'm making stuff because I have a lot of time right now. I have a lot of time that I'm desperately trying to fill. But I'm doing an okay job at it. I have always been good at pretending to be busy. You'd be amazed at what you can think about accomplishing without ever really doing anything. I'm staring at this large vase of change that I've collected from waiting tables. I think I need to cash it in. It's over half way full and it's a pretty large vase. It's not doing anything just sitting there and that thought bothers me. The thought of loose change not being in circulation is sad. I think it ceases to be money and instead becomes a really inconvenient and heavy vase full of metal. That's not doing anybody any good. I should change it in. The Blue Angels are back in town. I saw them practicing or drilling or whatev...

I know it's been a while. Not much to write when you aren't really doing that much. I've cleaned this house from top to bottom, only to see it get dirty within minutes of anyone coming home. I can see why stay at home moms are so busy all of the time. Or why anyone is so busy when they really have nothing to do but clean. Obsessively.  I have an interview on thursday at another restaurant. Keep your fingers crossed. I know that I am. It's getting cold. I have three blankets on my bed because my room mates do not believe in putting the thermostat above 67.  I gave Pagles a shoestring. Actually, Pagles sort of just took it, but I let him have it. He carries it around with him everywhere, like a little teddy bear. It's ssooo adorable. I will try to get a picture of him with it.  Behold beauty, thanks to National Geographic:

I was off of work yesterday so when my phone rang at 5pm with the screen flashing "JAKE'S" I was very hesitant. Things have been so slow lately it's not worth going in on my day off. I know this sound crazy because any amount of money would help and it's not like I'm working my ass off anyway. But still, thoughts happen, what can you do? I did answer the phone though, and to my chagrin, boss lady said we were closed. The manager came in and officially shut things down for the winter. I knew this was coming but it still feels very weird to be unemployed. Not too weird though. It wasn't that long ago I didn't have a job or a plan for that matter. So here I sit again. Still job hunting along with the rest of the population it seems. Thankfully I have a bit of a cushion but that won't last me very long and I really want to get everything paid off. Besides, the holiday's are coming up and stamps cost money gosh darn it. I was told I could get unempl...

Had to work on Halloween. Wasn't that great of a day. I did wear a hat to work and drew a little silver star on my cheek. I was a "COOL KID", lol. I don't think anyone really saw a difference though. I was driving to work and got a gusher of a nose bleed. I thought at first it was just a runny nose and it kind of itched so I reached up to rub the side of my nose and felt wetness all over my hand. I looked down and my hand was covered in blood. Thankfully I hadn't gotten any on my clothes but I was scrambling to get into my glovebox for some napkins while keeping my car on the road. I would have pulled over but I was on a one lane road and there really was nowhere to pull over. I walked into work with bloody hands and bloody rags. People started laughing because they thought it was a Halloween prank. Like I had pretended to get stabbed or something, I dunno. Anyway, my head felt funny after that for a while. Then people started complaining about food and the night ...
