Down again - yay!
I had a job interview yesterday. I am qualified, but I have no idea who else applied nor do I have any control over how any of their interviews go. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be disappointed if I am not chosen for the position, but I also have a firm belief that things usually work out the way they are supposed to. If they find somebody better suited for the job, more power to them. I'll be able to turn over some of those responsibilities that I've taken on over the last several months. Anyway, I should know by the end of next week.
I took yesterday morning off from work so that I would not have to try to clear my mind from the details of working in the morning before my interview in the afternoon. That gave me plenty of time to take Gus for a nice long wog down to the park. It was a little humid but Gus was ready to go. He is getting better and better about jogging my speed, rather than at an all-out sprint, so that is a definite bonus. He even did pretty well when we came across a couple squirrels in the park. I truly believe that my brain is getting trained! I felt much more relaxed after the wog and my mind was clear. I don't have to think about anything when I exercise, except putting one foot in front of the other, not tripping over Gus, and just breathing. I think that was the perfect way to start my day. Plus "exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy" (a favorite quote from Legally Blonde). If I could just train myself to be a morning person, I could start out every day a little happier. :)
After the wog, it was time for a shower and I still had plenty of time to straighten my hair. I decided against wearing a collared shirt under my suit because it was so warm outside and I knew our office would be warm because the heat has been on for a couple weeks. I knew the suit jacket would be warm enough. Anyway, here is what I ended up looking like:
After the 5K last Thursday, I went Christmas decoration shopping in the garage and got out the strand of Christmas lights I bought last year in an effort to take Gus' photo based on a pinterest inspiration. I decided to try again. So I set up the camera on my tripod and got out plenty of treats. Those things plus a tired dog made for much better pictures this year.
And here is Gus' four-legged "cousin" in the Santa sleigh that my mom made years ago for my grandparents' yard. My brother must have somehow inherited it and repainted it for Coco.
