Appointments...Appointments...Appointments...
I tried to call yesterday to schedule my next PETscan and such. I tried for the better part of an hour and only got a busy signal at the clinic. It was Monday on a short week with a holiday -- guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Again I look forward to the day when cancer clinics are made obsolete by a vacine or some such thing...Ours would make a good library or really large coffee shop...
BUT -- I got through today. July and into August are very crazy for us. But somehow they got us in at times that work for us. This Thursday I have lab work done. Next Monday I have my PETscan and then next Thursday (9th) we meet with the doc to go over everything. Look for an update next Thursday evening sometime...
We trust there will be nothing to discuss as they won't find anything to talk about. In which case we'll probably end up talking about his show poodles or something for 20 minutes. I've started listing appointments with him on the calendar as 'crazy coot'. We love him though...good doc...
Job Hunt...
Not much new there. The electrical stuff is just a matter of waiting. I sent out some driving resumes to hotels last week. I got a call back from one asking me to fill out an app. on-line. I'd like to think they have some interest if they took the time to call me and say I needed to fill out one of their applications...
Otherwise I've got about 20 resumes all set to mail right now. All for shuttle driving type jobs. It's not that I know of any places that are hiring -- but I've got to do something.
Next up are motorcoach type driving jobs and probably some of the other transit providers in the cities. I figure I can do better money wise with tips from hotel shuttles so those are my first choice.
The Picture...
Erin with the 'Crayon Rocket' earlier this year at the farm. There are a couple of other nice pictures of it in flight. It is one of my favorite rockets. It was made from a crayon shaped piggy bank that I added fins and an engine to. Also one of my cheapest rockets. Maybe $20 including the piggy bank and all my other materials...
Everything Else...
Otherwise keep the job stuff in your prayers. I'm feeling very good. We've had some cooler weather which has helped us get some outside projects done. Erin continues to find amazing deals on pretty much everything we buy. Still updates her blog periodically (link for it under resources). It's gotten to the point that I just ask 'what store are we going to rob today?' It is very unusual for us to save less than 50-60% between the sales and coupons. Our dryer & Erin's car died. The dryer was replaced. Erin's car should be done this afternoon. Frustrating though...Nothing compared to what we've been through though....gotta keep it all in prespective...
