But somebody's gotta do it. Eating, sleeping and pooping. No problem with intellectual boredom. And no, I'm not talking about my desperate housewife existence right now. I'm talking about the cats. We covered the top of our couches with fleece blankets and now we're happy if we see Sox upstairs. She does not move unless it's for the bathroom or to eat. She has not tag teamed me once this week with Bailey in the morning. Starting to feel little unloved here. The longer I stay in bed in the morning, better chances there is for both of them waking me up. Nope, not now. Bailey does her part but Sox stays downstairs and doesn't even move to come greet me or get up until she hears the food in the bowl. Today I left for the gym and Sox was on the couch. I came back home and she had not moved. Tough. So I took a chair outside and left the door open for them to come sniff the outside air. B was nowhere to be seen but so I toughed maybe Sox will come check it out. before I know i it's Bailey on the door. Had to make sure she doesn't run away cuz she would be REALLY difficult to catch if she got out. Sox wasn't impressed. So now I have the door ajar just a little bit for them to smell the air but not to be able to open it. Bailey's crying inside, she wants out. Too bad they can't be taken out because on a day like this I'd love to take them out and smell the fresh air and get some exercise. But they are indoor cats and we don't have leashes for them. And getting them on a leash would be a struggle anyway.
As for me...I'm officially graduating on Friday and now am on a 2 week vacation before I can start working. I've been surfing the job sites and found few interesting jobs. I didn't apply yet because I am not necessarily qualified BUT as T said yesterday...(thank god for brilliant partners) what's the worst that can happen? they don't contact me...I'm not sure if that's true. The worst is that they interview me, decide I'm what they are looking for and hire me! and I can't do the job! We've been talking about "fake it till you make it" in regards to other things lately and I'm afraid that what if I am able to fake it so well that somebody hires me and then realizes I'm not able to deliver!?! Obviously they would teach me what I needed to do and I didn't know what I was supposed to o when I started as a student assistant but still...it's scary!
I just need to jump in and let go of the fear. You kin do it!
Our social calendar is full once again...tomorrow night we will go see Bruce Springsteen in the Meadowlands, on Friday is my official graduation which we will be celebrating just the two of us. On Saturday and Sunday we have bbq's to go to and Monday is open. After the 4 day I think we will need to just hang and relax. The weekend after we're seeing our friend Erin and then 2 weeks from that is the Philly pride parade. At the end of June is the NYC pride parade...good times! And at some point I'd like to start working. I NEED to start working! On a day like today when it's Sunny and warm it would be awesome if T was off too and we could do something. Now I'm kinda stuck at home and this housewife bs is SO not for me. It's good that I have something to do (laundry, cleaning, cooking and taking care of the furry children) but at some point my brain will start leaking and all this newly acquired information and education will leave my evaporate! But there are some good things to it...like right now I'm outside sitting in a chair, blogging and drinking my favorite Dunkin Donuts iced coffee...working on my tan. I came home from the gym about an hour ago. I have Bruce singing to me a private concert inside...life is good. Would be better if T was sitting next to me and we had corona's in our hands but that will happen in few days so I cannot complain. Unless she gets sicker. She has a scratchy throat.
It's weird being in the center of things but still being out of it. I'm talking about the swine flu. You see these clips and pictures from Asia where people are wearing masks and you see stories in the news about schools being closed in NYC and in NJ and how a principal died from it in NYC and I haven't really seen it anywhere. Granted I haven't been to the city, but it seems so distant and yet it's still here, only few miles away. T said she's seen people wearing masks in the city bu they have mostly been random Asians. I haven't seen anybody and the only "contact" I've had was through the international office at school when they had a meeting about it and when the school sent an e-mail about it. That's it. There's no panic, no precautionary steps taken...weird. Life goes on.
I gotta go now...later peeps
