Chowing Down

The cat is still eating!  It was great to have him sleep with me last night.  We got in some good cuddle time and I know he missed me.  I also believe he feels better, despite the fact he doesn’t like to take medicine.  I still worry about him that he will suddenly stop eating, but the more time goes by with him being normal, the more that fear will diminish.  He had some cuddle time with his brother this afternoon, which was nice to see.

Speaking of brothers mine called and told me that he’s got an interview tomorrow.  It’s with a head hunter but they have him all set to bring ID and submit to a background check.  Sounds like this might be more solid than I’m giving it credit for.  He said that mom is freaking out, that she doesn’t know how she will survive with him back to work.  It’s only been a month and she’s lived with him at work for a few years now.  I mean eventually he will go back to work and she will have to deal with it.  I pray that I am back to work before or by the time he returns to work.  Otherwise she will make my life a living hell.

The job hunt for me is moving forward.  Still no calls or emails.  I am applying like crazy in the hopes something will give way soon.  A couple weeks ago I bit the bullet and decided to apply for a job with a Religious Ministry.  They asked all sorts of questions about where I went to church, how long I was going to church, the name of the church, a reference from the church and on.  All of those questions bare no relevance on the job.  I answered most with this has nothing to do with the job.  I am more than qualified for this position but it’s a long haul from home.  Today I got an e-mail that God told them I wasn’t the person they should pursue for this opportunity.  However, I was told to rest assured that God has a plan for my life.  This is a clear and blatant violation of the law in that they are discriminating against me due to my Religious beliefs.  The fact that I told them I didn’t attend church and the way that I answered their questions that were not relevant to the job, no doubt are what caused them to reject me.  Still I believe I have a case.  Now the bigger question is should I file a charge of discrimination against them?  I could get money or even a job out of this but it could take months, I could also walk away with nothing but a waste of time.  The bigger problem here is should I mess with God’s anointed?  I mean the bible preaches against it and while I don’t think he is doing a lot for me concerning a job, I don’t want to piss him off.  My choice is to let it go.  Not only because I don’t want the encounter the wrath of God but also because I think it would be a huge waste of my time.  All I want is a decent full time job and to be happy.  Going through this would just add to my stress.  I am continuing to focus on my job search.

Today was another expensive day but not nearly as expensive as yesterdays vet bill.  I got us a bite to eat, paid a doctor bill for my partner and filled up his truck with gas.

I got a pleasant surprise in today’s mail the February issue of Out Magazine arrived.  Who’s on the cover but Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka. You all are aware with my obsession of NPH.  It was nice to read their story about how they met, what they think of each other and how they manage to live their lives along with the adoption of their children.  Out told me a couple months ago that my subscription had expired.  I didn’t bother to renew, nor will I until I know I am financially stable, which given my present circumstances will be a while. 

My partner is feeling a bit better today.  We made it to see the foot doctor today.  Tomorrow he’s got a dental appointment and then a friend of his will be stopping by for a bit.  The weather tomorrow is forecast to be rather sloppy with a wintry mix but the temperatures by the afternoon will be high enough to melt away what ever falls.  Now that’s the kind of winter I like.  Bring on the snow, the ice and the cold for the morning.  Then wipe it all away by the afternoon or at the very latest the next day. 

The boys had me up early this morning and I have felt the effects on my body.  I got back to sleep for a little bit, just long enough for the sick cat to wake me up.  Then back to sleep for a bit only to be woken by the telephone.  Geez I guess I should just give up and get out of bed, even if I am not well rested.  That’s how my day started.  I don’t mind getting up early it will help to condition my body for when I return to work, hopefully I get a job with day time hours that requires me to get up early or this might be counter productive.

I hope that you had a great Tuesday.  Hang on because Wednesday is around the corner.  I think we have another fast moving week on our hands!  Be kind to each other and stay warm!
