Well school has been in session long enough now they are starting to need subs and I’m working quite a bit. I’ve worked 9 days so far and already have one scheduled way in advance for next month. I’m feeling pretty good with things. I love getting to go to the different schools and various grade levels.
Heres a shot of my desktop screen. On the left is the jobulator, the program that I pick up jobs through. On the right is my interactive calendar I use to keep up with my jobs.
Being that I’ve started working and making some money it is only natural order that I have a shopping trip and spend it. Last weekend I went to my cousins in Little Rock and we went shopping. I needed some good work shoes. I’m on my feet so much and need some comfortable support for my feet and unfortunately my wonderful tennis shoes don’t go with my work clothes. But most dress shoes I find don’t have the support and my feet hurt. We spent the whole weekend and went to many many stores searching for the perfect combination of comfort/appropriate/cute. I’m very pleased with my pick. They are pretty comfortable on their own but I intentionally got a bigger size so I could add some super cushiony insoles. Feels like I’m walking on clouds!
The shoe store was having a sale and I couldn’t pass it up so I decided to get some boots. They seem to be the in thing, I swear everyone I saw was wearing some kind of boot. Now I have no excuse for buying the ones I bought except they looked hot and caught my eye. As bad as my feet are I don’t do heels, EVER! So these nice things are basically for looks only. You know straight to the restaurant for dinner and back home when there’s not much walking required. LOL For some insane reason I decided to wear them to work one day this past week. HUGE HUGE HUGE mistake. I don’t really remember anything about that work day except for thinking how bad my feet hurt. I took them off as soon as I got to my car and drove home barefooted. I just knew my feet were raw and bleeding. Thankfully they weren’t that bad, only a little stone bruised. Fortunately I didn’t have a job the next day so I was able to keep off of them most of the and get them to feeling better. So defiantly for looks only, not for long walks.
It’s the beginning of a new week and no work has been scheduled yet but I’m not worried. I know something will come up, it always does. In the mean time I’ll try to be prepared for an unexpected work day by having meals atleast planned if not precooked and keep on top of the house work. In the down time I’m stitch, stitch, stitching away working on Christmas presents.
