Crossfit has helped my mental state as it always does!  Plus, I found out today that one of my gym mates is a recruiter with Kelly's.  She wants a copy of my resume to work with. She stated that she would have to pass me off to another recruiter due to the nature of my background but she would make sure they were good and could really help me. The other good note today, an executive recruiter at UTMB sent me an email stating that she found my resume in their database and wanted to know if I was still interested in looking at job opportunities there.  Well, yes I am!!!  I have a phone interview with her set for 1:30 this afternoon.  Things are moving, I just have to remember to be patient.  Keep your fingers crossed out there folks, I need to get a job and things settled in my life soon!

It's so beautiful here today!  Stunning, spectacular weather.  I love the five minutes of spring we have here in southeast TX!  I think tomorrow the fam/friends are putting together a crawfish boil.  Sounds like fun and it will be nice to just hang out together outside, eat, cook, play some cards! I hope hubby is feeling up to it all.

Breakfast: salmon and egg salad, with homemade mayo
Lunch: pork steak, brussel sprouts and bacon, all tossed together with sriracha sauce
Supper:

Still living in a funk and continued fatigue.  No motivation for work of any kind.  I have a list for today much like everyday but I am going to concentrate on getting a few things knocked off.

Ugh!

On a positive note, the weather here is just fantastic.  One thing that I will absolutely do today is plant my baby plants in the ground.  They are just beautiful little things!  Everything that I transplanted has done very well so far.  Our strawberries are blooming and producing as well, yum!  The gardening gives me great peace.

Breakfast: pot roast with carrots
Lunch:
Supper:

The boy spent the night with his mom.  I hope she gets him to school on time!

We are trying to find a home for the puppy.  This makes me sad.  I have grown attached to her despite her puppy madness and mess in my house.  She's just so sweet and very smart.  She is going to be a great dog. Sigh

Crossfit day, finally!  I purposely took off a few extra days to let my left shoulder have a break.  it's still a little tender but better overall and I am about to go crazy so I am going today and Friday and maybe Saturday.  I have been in a huge funk, for many reasons, and I am hoping this will help.  Clean eating yesterday has helped too so I will just try to keep it going.  I am seriously thinking about doing another whole30 to just get back on track.

Storms were big yesterday but it was mostly just a lot of rain and wind in my area.  Still raining this morning but I think it's supposed to clear out.  I hope so, I have more gardening to do!

A little list of things to get done:
sweep/mop
LAMA mtg stuff
QuickBooks, still!
pay bills

Breakfast: green eggs and ham (kale, green onions, bacon, scrambled with eggs)
Lunch: pot roast with carrots, kale and green beans,  ketchup with worcestershire sauce and blk pepper to dip my meat in
Supper: roasted chicken breast with sauteed squash and onions, forkfuls of mac/cheese, 1 ginger cookie
Snacks: handful of walnuts, apple with almond butter

My carb cravings are almost overwhelming!  I am holding on by a thread to my paleo promises.  More water, more sleep.

Storms are approaching and will be hanging out for a couple of hours this morning.  I have already moved a few loose items off the back patio to keep them from becoming projectiles for the big windows.  I am just hoping we can get to the bus stop before it all breaks loose.

Today is housekeeping, napping day!  I need to get some good, uninterrupted sleep!  These hot flashes are hurting me. I am thinking I will sleep through the storms then get up and do the house work and other things that need to be completed.  I have a conference call at 10:30 that I can't miss so that will be the nap cutoff time.

Have a great day everyone!

Interview day!  I was 45 minutes early but I took a book, found a seat and waited it out. Traffic in Houston is crazy and I didn't want to be late over some crazy fender bender.

It went well overall.  The guy is "intrigued" by my background and wanted to meet me and hear about my experiences. I appreciated his interest greatly since I am not a typical applicant for this type of position.  We'll see what happens. I have upward of three weeks to wait it out. He's actively interviewing so I am not naive enough to think that I have this in the bag.  But it went really well and he seemed genuinely interested. 

Ugh. I need a nap.

All is better in the house.  We handled the issues yesterday and are moving on.  I spent the evening with my girlfriends prepping for a baby shower.  It was fun but I was done and ready for home at 10 but stayed until midnight!  The baby shower was at 3p today.  It was great and she got a ton of great and cute stuff. I am tired now and just ready for that little girl to get here. 10 more weeks.

My interview is tomorrow.  I am stressing of course and continue to waffle back and forth about how little I really have to offer them.  They are really looking for someone with more construction credentials.  I will get through it and just hope for the best.  It will be a tough sale but all I can go is put it out there and hope for the best.

I ate too much crap this weekend.  I am feeling like shit for it too!  I am seriously considering another whole30!

Wish me luck, I am going to need it!!
