Wow! So last week Earl and I went to Arizona to visit with his brother and sister-in-law. It was great to see them again. While we were there, I took a test for the Gilbert, AZ police department dispatch. I'm putting feelers out for employment because let's face it, the California economy is going down!
So I took the test, hung out with family, and then hit the road back home. We left on Wednesday and came home on Friday. Super short trip, but I couldn't afford to take time off work.
I hear back yesterday that I passed the test! And I even scored high enough to move on to the next section!
So while this doesn't mean we are immediately moving, the chances are a little higher that we might move.
I'm bummed when I think about moving because I like the people here. I enjoy my work at BBTRC, and being next to both sides of the family is great. But if we move, the cost of living is significantly lower, gas is cheaper, and pretty much everything else is cheaper. So we would be able to pay off debts faster, and be more stable in the financial world.
I've also had some lows this last week. Almost had a full-blown panic attack at work on Tuesday. Not really sure what triggered it, but I overcame it. I've been beyond emotional, and the littlest things make me cry. No, I'm not pregnant. I'm just an emotional, sappy kind of girl.
So I'm not entirely sure where I'm standing today. The day started out rough, with a jackhammer at 0700. Then the cat got into the medicine cabinet and knocked one of my brand new earrings down the sink. Then as I was driving to my parent's house to get a funky long flexible magnet thingy (I know, very technical name!) I spilled my breakfast burrito down the front of my new fleece. And of course my back hurts, I think I have a pinched nerve because the pain is more of a burning all across the lowest part of my back/top of my hips. So I can't really do anything for that. Been trying to stretch as much as possible.
So that's my life in a nutshell at the moment. Here's hoping that my day goes better!
