Still in limbo.
At this point I think half of the country has worked on R’s resume. He worked on the original one that got him the job at the place which shall not be named for now (*spit*). Then someone he sent it to had some suggestions, then his sister, then at a class they had at work he and the teacher worked on it, last night he got an e-mail from someone who supposedly does this professionally and she had changed it yet again. Personally I thought her version looked like shit except for one part. I suggested that he use the one he and the other teacher worked on and change one section inserting her changes for that section. It makes it easier to read for someone in a hurry without it being all crammed together which makes things a pain in the ass to read.
What have I been doing? Collecting plastic rubbermaid containers and slowly packing what we don’t need, cleaning out closets and packing crap that’s in them, and generally trying to lighten our load of shit. It’s amazing how much crap you can collect in almost 10 years. Last weekend we actually cleaned out the two closets in the kids room. Which meant going through baby stuff. It sucked. Severely. Did I mention there were tears? Anyway I sucked it up and boxed up two boxes worth of the stuff and we’re going to put it in the laundry room for anyone who might need it who lives in the complex. R bless his heart even attempted to get rid of some of his books. Then I noticed he was having a hard time. He loves his books. I told him to box the rest up, tape them, label them and forget about it. He relaxed right away. lol I couldn’t say too much considering that I bagged up three LARGE garbage bags of my yarn.
This weekend I work on our room including that god awful walk in closet. Which means going through more books, going through drawers in our dresser getting rid of crap and old clothes that don’t fit, and that closet. Did I mention the closet? I’ve washed every piece of clothing we own and will be putting all of it up except for a weeks worth of clothes for each of us and R’s interview clothes.
All of this is because I need something to do to keep my mind busy or I’d go freaking nuts. I also watched what happened when our neighbor upstairs moved out. She left a ton of crap up there. After she was gone they went in and started tossing it off the balcony and taking it to the trash. I don’t want to do that. I DO intend to leave one thing here. The entertainment center… it’s huge and it’s heavy, really heavy. They can do what they want with it.
I look at all of this like this: IF he gets a job soon we’ll most likely have to move anyway so we’re halfway packed. If he doesn’t and things get bad we’re halfway packed and can still get out of here.
I hope this is settled soon. The stress is so bad that I’m in pain most of the time… doesn’t help my poor aching joints that I’ve been moving stuff but so what? I’m in pain anyway. I only have one thing to ask of anyone who reads this… pray.
