The snow is falling outside right now, tiny cold little grains of sand, and I'm incredibly glad to be inside! R and I got caught in the beginning of the storm as we were coming home from buying some Christmas presents for charity. It wasn't fun to even walk five minutes from the bus stop in that weather! I'll tell you, it didn't do my cold any good, either. Even a mug of hot chocolate hasn't entirely been able to chase the chill away yet.
Maybe I need another one. Hmm...
My interview was today. It was really more like an information session about the company that we're really applying for. Yes, it was another placement agency. I can't complain, though. This time it isn't a temporary job that I'm applying for, but a permanent one, so if I make it past the actual interview, then I'll be comfortably set for a while. If I can keep the job, of course. That's always the tricky part. But I'll do my best, as I always do.
R and I were talking again the other day about buying a small house eventually. We don't want anything fancy. A little two-bedroom house with a small yard, that's all. And really, I want the yard more than R does, but I've long had dreams of growing a nice little vegetable or herb garden. Unfortunately, with the amount of debt that R has, we probably won't be able to afford a house for another few years, but even so, the thought that in a few years, if I get a job again soon, we might be able to live in a house instead of a small (and let's be honest, rather crummy) apartment thrills me!
It would also be nice if by that point I can have some home-based business to make money from, rather than relying on out-of-the-house jobs. I don't do that well in social situations, and though I can fake it for a time, it wears on me. I've suffered from social anxiety disorder throughout most of my life, and I'd much rather be in a place where I felt comfortable than be in a place where I'd be uncomfortable but making more money. So long as I can make enough money. I don't ask for more.
To that effort, I should probably concentrate on my writing and designing more, in the new year. I've got so many plans that I want to get started on, and holiday projects are preventing me from doing so at the moment.
And to that effect, I really ought to get back to making those bookmarks! Possibly after I make myself another mug of hot chocolate. Yes, that sounds like a good plan.
