Welcome to surreal Tuesday

Today marks the first job interview that I've had in over 16 months, it also marks the first earthquake that Ive been through.  Perhaps more importantly than all that it marks 10 months since daecabhir and I met.


And, yes, you read that correctly ... we had a 5.9 earthquake here in Virginia today. Not only did we have a a 5.9 earthquake here in Virginia today but said earthquake happened just as the guy who was interviewing me and I had greeted one another.


Freaky stuff!


There is good news however - the interview (once thing settled down) went very well and it looks like I will have a second interview. The dogs seemed no worse for the wear once I returned home (there were a few toppled knick knacks though).


Since we finally picked out the color for the master bathroom, I went to True Value to get the paint mixed this morning, Since we're covering a darker color, I put two coats of white on walls today when I got home from the interview. The color (sort of a periwinkle) should go on tomorrow. I really want to get this project over with so that we can use our bathroom again!


I wore two regular shoes to the interview and made the exectutive decision to don my Nike tennis shoes to paint in. My foot is a little ouchy but I am suspecting the Nike's (which are not long for this world anyhow) may be the culprit. Maybe tomorrow I will spend some time in the boot and some time in a different pair of shoes to see how that goes.


Tomorrow is daecabhir's last day with the 'bait and switch' company. Thankfully we have a four-day weekend together before he starts his new gig.

5 things

• Celebrating 10 months with daecabhir.


• A job interview that very well (despite an earthquake).


• Finding a wonderful (and mushy) note from daecabhir when I least expected it and needed it the most.


• Surviving my first earthquake.


• A truly fantastic day weather-wise.
