Whoop, There it Went

How is it Friday? Please, someone tell me. It just doesn't seem possible.

This week has flown by.

Cliff has been busy as usual at work, selling territories and raising fees like it's his job. Oh wait, it is. He has been dreaming and scheming of travel plans, and in the meantime, he likes to watch the Olympics. A lot.

And me? Well, I've been kinda busy too, thankyouverymuch.

I had decided that despite the lack of need for me to have a job right now (because I am still currently "between opportunities" in case you were wondering), I should do something about the prospect of making that shift from doing whatever the heck I want to being in an office. Because at this rate, with having two degrees with the word "administration" in 'em, I can pretty much bank on that being the next step.

So, as of last Wednesday and this past Monday, I've joined the temp world, which basically means I'm on two different temp organizations' rosters for any open jobs fitting my personality/skills/experience/pay requirements. Through the process of applying and interviewing, I was at least a bit more mildly excited about getting back into the working world. Though, I can't say the data entry, Microsoft Office, and typing tests were thrilling.

Also, just this week, I was finally approved to start volunteering at Mercy which is, by far, the thing that has kept me busiest and has given me a much needed boost these days. Because my schedule is pretty wide open, I have been there a couple of hours every day (except today!) since Tuesday when I was invited to attend a graduation ceremony for four of the Mercy girls. I just love being there, even as a volunteer in headquarters, because I know every bit of what is done there is about helping these girls find freedom and hope. And you can just see it.

And now it's Friday, and I'm not feeling extraordinarily well, nor have I been all morning. But I keep thinking that it's the weekend, and tomorrow is the Farmer's Market, and there's just so much to be thankful for and I wish being unwell didn't put such a damper on everything. I've been working on uploading some new (old) photos to my Flickr site to try and roll back the clouds and it's helped slightly, but again, only slightly.

But, with continued condolences from Mr. Heating Pad and Mrs. Midol, maybe I'll be a new woman by the time evening rolls around?
