Real World, Week Whatever

I'm sort of vaguely aware of the fact that it is summer, because it is so freaking hot outside, but otherwise all of my days and nights string together in a way that I never really know what day of the week it is. Ah,  the post-grad, unemployed life.

Spent all of last week at a horse show with Patrick - he was a total rockstar. Couldn't be more proud of him. He got really good ribbons in Baby Greens with Amy against way fancier competitors. He was great for me - I made some mistakes though. Sadly I went off course in the only over fences class we stood a chance of pinning in. But he was absolutely wonderful.

I had a phone interview on Tuesday. This is my first hint at anyone wanting to hire me for a position. I think it went pretty well, and it was one of the jobs I applied for that I actually thought would be fun. Fingers crossed.

The biggest thing going on in my life right now, however, is a mystery back injury. It's muscular, we know that much. But the slightest movement sends shooting pains down my back. It started Sunday and it is now 3am on Thursday morning and I'm awake because of it - frankly, it's getting a little old & I'm over it. I am not allowed to ride for 3 weeks and I have to spend most of my time on some sort of strong medication - muscle relaxers or pain killers. I went to the ER Sunday and the PA I met with was dreadful, she hardly examined me and just gave me a prescription. Went to AOC Tuesday and met with someone who was a lot better - but they can't help me with physical therapy or anything until I am a little more comfortable. So I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday morning and hopefully I'll be on the mend soon.

Anyway - I've decided to be productive with my unemployment. We've cleaned my room & closet and sent like 3 truckloads of stuff to Goodwill already, but I think I am going to start writing again. I didn't have the time when I was in school and right now I have nothing BUT time. I've watched more Netflix in the last month than I thought possible. And I'm ready for something a little more entertaining - I think writing could be a really nice way to unwind and relax.

Oh, and I'll try to blog more.

Princess

I will never love another dog as much as I love Phoebe.

Bored

I guess eventually I will yearn for the carefree days post-grad before I entered the workforce and while my parents still paid for everything. And being able to spend time with my fiancé for hours on end.

But really - I'm bored.

The good news is, I've been cleaning and riding and working out. So that it'll be easy to move into my own place and also, so I can be thin and fit again. But I would really like to be making money, you know. A little less time to do those things would be okay with me.

So - any day now I will start getting interviews, right? Positive thinking?
