It's been a long two weeks. I know all of you are just waiting with baited breath to read about our road trip to Kansas. That will be forth coming. Since I did all the driving, I wasn't able to keep a travel log. I'll have to back track and remember everything in order to post it here. And it will also be a separate entry from my monthly posting.
We are here in Kansas. Both Master and I went for job stuff today. I had an interview at the Ramada, two suits and the Chef, who is young enough to be my son. They are "impressed with my resume, and just want to hire me. I put down what I wanted as far as salary, and they have to run a background check, which will take several days. Then I am hired and working as a SOUS CHEF!!! What I've been working towards for all these years. Didn't think I had to travel 1400 miles to do it, but since this is an open market for Chefs, I can pretty much write my own ticket...YAY!
Master took her tests and all that for a Temp Agency. Until we know my hours she really can't take any assignments. Mom's surgery was moved to Thursday, it was scheduled for Friday. So we only have two more days. One of us has to be here at all times when she comes home from the hospital. If I'm working 12 hour days, then Master won't be able to work, but if I'm making what I asked for, she won't have to.
So far so good.
When we got here, we had major rearranging to do. The rooms, the kitchen, all of it. There isn't any room for our stuff. It's slowly coming together, and I have a few more days of freedom to finish the kitchen and get my clothes put away. It's been a big job. Both of us are really really worn out already. I so do not want to haul alot of this stuff back to Arizona. It will be more purging, more getting rid of stuff, more alleviating ourselves of clutter. It's been an eye opener to pack, unpack and repack this stuff we've been lugging around. I've asked it before, how as human beings to we collect all this junk?
We went to Lawernce on Sunday to obtain vegatarian products for consumption. We have yet to make the drive to KC. We opened a joint bank account. And I've been to Walmart more times than I care to count...Don't want to give them my money, but they are conveniently located.
I'll write more. Just had to get something up for the new month. It's rather exciting and new and still very, very surreal for me. And yes, I am living in the sticks. But they aren't bad sticks. And Master's mom is a really nice person.
Hope everyone out there is well, and functioning, and not dragging their stuff half way across the country, like we did!
