Wednesday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is Wednesday morning here in Seattle and I am tired as hell. I did not sleep very well last night. It was partly due to the fact that I have been ruminating about the job I interviewed for Tuesday of last week. I am ruminating about it because I am wondering if I got the job or not especially since they asked for references. I was informed that I would hear back from them by the end of this week at the latest. I am starting to doubt that I am getting the job, and I really would like this job.

On that note, I am seeing my therapist later on this morning. I have been bottling up my anger and not doing what helps. Thankfully, I have not emotionally exploded on anyone but that is a concern of mine. I figure if I can discuss my anger with my therapist, it could be helpful. I am not angry with my therapist, but I am grateful that she can hold space for me especially when I am dealing with my anger. I am grateful to have a therapist that allows me to feel all the feels and lets me show them.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Monday Afternoon Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is still Monday here in Seattle. I am also still waiting to hear back if I got the job or not that I interviewed for last Tuesday. I really want this job for multiple reasons. One of those reasons is I want to be productive with my day and give back to my community. Another reason why is because I am getting bored and need something to do with my time.

Speaking of doing something with my time, I have started to work on some math. I am not very good at math and is something we all need so I decided to do math to increase my math skills. I know it sound weird but at least I am learning and educating myself.

Besides doing math, I have been doing some artwork. The type of artwork that I have been doing is coloring. I decided to color a coloring page that is a mandala. There is something meditative about coloring especially a mandala. I really enjoy coloring.

As I have done some math as well as color, my cat Billie has been sleeping in my lap. I love that my cat, Billie is such a lap kitty and cuddle bug. I am extremely grateful for my cat, Billie and have a hard time imaging life without him. I hope he is around at least another five years as he is almost eleven years old with kidney disease. He is doing just fine and dandy right now, but I do worry about my cat, Billie. I love him so very much.

It Feels Like Monday Because It Is Monday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It feels like Monday because it is Monday. I am saying this because it true and it definitely feels like an actual Monday. I am hoping that sometime by the end of this week that I find out if I got the job or not for the job I interviewed for last Tuesday. I really want the job as I am bored at home. I could also use the money, but I am just mainly bored.

Speaking of money; as many of you already know, if read my blog regularly, you know that I have advertisements on my blog. I have advertisements on my blog to earn extra money. Sadly, it does not pay out till I hit $100. I am hoping that you the reader can click on an advertisement or two and let it completely load. Yes, it is only a penny or two but that penny or two does add up. I totally understand if you want to click on the advertisement, but I hope you do.

Weekly Check-In

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! It is Saturday evening which means it is time for my weekly check-in. I realize I have not done a weekly check-in for weeks, but I am back to doing them. I also realized that I might not have much to say in this weekly check-in that I haven’t already posted about since I have posted a buttload of blog post already.

As you are I had a job interview this past Tuesday and that the next day I was asked for references the next day via email. I, of course, did email them my references. I was informed that I will, find out if I got the job or not by the end of this coming up week. I am hoping to find out sooner than later if I got the job or not.

I also volunteered at PAWS Cat City this past Thursday as I missed my shift this past Sunday due to the fact that I was not feeling well. I also volunteered with Alley Cat Project this past Thursday and Friday as well as this morning. I love volunteering and being able to give back to my community especially if it involves cats. I love cats.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog.

Ruminating Potential Job

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! As I wait for my friends to pick me up to go for breakfast, I am thinking about the potential job I interviewed for this past Tuesday. In fact, I am ruminating about it as well as wondering if I am going to get the job. I am doing both rumination and wondering if I got the job because I was asked for references via email the day after the interview. I really want the job as I feel like it will be a good fit for me. I also want the job because I am getting bored with so much time on my hands as well as needing the money to pay for everyday things like food.

Speaking of money, if you regularly read my blog, you know that I have advertisements on my blog. The reason why is because I make money from them. The thing is that the only way I make money from them is if you click on the ad and allow them to completely load before exiting out of the ad. I am hoping that you the reader can click on one or two of the advertisements and let them completely load so I can earn a penny or two that will eventually add up to $100 so I can get paid. It will be greatly appreciated if you can do that for me, please.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning and Happy Friday, World!!! It is a beautiful sunny Friday here in Seattle and my morning walk was awesome and helped woke me up a little. I am tired as hell as I sadly have not slept all night. I am assuming I could not sleep last night due to insomnia. As much as I would love to take a nap, I am not able to. I am not able to because I have a volunteer shift with Alley Cat Project. I am really glad that my volunteer job with Alley Cat Project. I am also beyond thrilled that it is sunny in Seattle today as the sun will help keep me awake during my volunteer shift.

I am wondering if I will hear back today from the potential employer that I interviewed with this past Tuesday regarding if I got the job or not. I was informed that I would hear back no later than next Friday which is what I am expecting but one can hope to hear back sooner than later. I really want this job, and I am surprised that I was asked for references the day after my interview because I think I did a really crappy job interviewing. Like I said I really want this job, and I hope I get it. I also hope I am not pulling the cart before the horse or jinxing myself or getting my hopes up too high as I don’t want to be beyond devastated if I don’t get the job.

The Elusiveness of Sleep

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is four thirty-two in the morning here in Seattle. I am still wide awake, and this insomnia is just driving me batty but thankfully not batty enough to not end up in the looney bin. I just wish I knew why my insomnia is so bad lately and it is frustrating as hell.

Since I have not been able to sleep, I have been focused on learning new coping skills and building on old coping skills. I have been doing this by working on a couple of workbooks. Workbooks that remind me of what helps and what does not help and what I can try again to see if it helps this time around. Recovery is nonlinear and if certain coping skill didn’t help years ago does not mean they won’t help now and that gives me a lot of hope. Hope goes a long way especially when it comes to coping skills and using them even if they did not help at one point in time.

This just a random thought but I wonder if any of my references has been called yet. I am not sure why I just that of that but all I can think of is that I really want the job. I also hope that I am not getting my hopes up too high or that I am pulling cart before the horse. I also hope I am not jinxing myself. I’m now just rambling on and on and I really should just try to go to bed again.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except that I really want some sleep. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog.

Finally Got Sleep

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is 10:09 in the morning here in Seattle and it is a beautiful sunny day outside. I also finally got some much-needed sleep which is something I needed since I will be doing volunteer shift with Alley Cat Project and PAWS Cat City.

Oh, how I love to be able to give of my time to nonprofit organizations especially ones that help cats. I really enjoy giving my time especially when it comes to helping cats as I am a huge cat lover. I also love that my volunteer positions at Alley Cat Project and PAWS Cat City are completely different yet gives me a similar skill set for future volunteer jobs as well as future paid employment.

Speaking of employment, I had a job interview this past Tuesday which I thought did not go so very well. It apparently went better than expected as I received an email yesterday asking for references. I take being asked for references after a job interview as a good sign and I really hope it is a good sign. I really would like this job.

Update on Job Interview

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! I just wanted to update you on my job interview. It went okay. Yes, just okay. I also could have done a lot better job in the interview. In fact, my cat, Billie even attempted to answer a couple of questions for me and one of the interviewers said, “kitty we don’t speak cat, so we need Gertie to answer the question.” I and the other interviewers laughed. This did break the ice a little. I just wish I had more faith in myself especially since I really want this job.

Stormy Weather + Anxiety About Job Interview = Doing Diamond Painting

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is still quite stormy here in Seattle. May people have lost power. Thankfully, I have not lost power, and I hope I have not just jinxed myself. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself because I have a virtual job interview on Zoom. Having a virtual job interview on Zoom, one must have electricity and working internet. So, I am hoping that I don’t lose power because I really want to do this job interview as I really want this job, and this windy weather is causing me anxiety about not being able to do it.

To help combat the anxiety I am having regarding the job interview, I am planning to do some artwork. The type of artwork I am doing is diamond art/painting. The diamond art/painting that I am doing is the one with the tuxedo cat in a tree. I am glad I chose this particular diamond art/painting because it reminds me of my own tuxedo cat, Billie. I am also very happy that a neighbor introduced me to diamond art/painting. I really enjoy doing diamond art/painting.
