Rinna Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 fortune favors the brave Going with that meaning. It’s what John Wick’s tat says. Wait, you nerds know that already 😆. I am not brave. I want to be. I think I’m broken. I don’t want to be. But how to put humpty dumpy back together? Goal. Yes you read that correctly. Goal. Walk. 5 days a week. Unless I get a job, then things will change. I am looking, sort of. Benefits would be nice.. Have an interview tomorrow. We’ll see what we see. Sadly, since I only have a Mrs. degree (🤪), I’m not qualified for much. No one counts raising your children as work experience. Weight has held steady (ish) at about 132.4. Which is surprising since who has a f#*@ to give about calories. Will still be minimal. Stop by if you want to chat. I’ll likely only be lurking in other threads. 3 Quote Level -20 Zombie Princess "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up” -Björn Járnhamar Link to comment

Rinna Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Interview was pushed back a day due to interviewer dropping the drive shaft on her car......so we bonded over car issues. (My clutch shattered halfway to work once) Had it today. It went well I think. We’ll see what happens. If they can give me a minimum of 30/week and more than $12.25........... 🤷♀️ 1 Quote Level -20 Zombie Princess "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up” -Björn Járnhamar Link to comment

PS You are brave by even stepping foot into a challenge and trying walking is going. The past 2 weeks did 19.4\20.4 miles, and last week we started the 30 days of yoga with Adrienne challenge. But right now we’re doing m/w/f since we’re old stiff farts. Interview went well, but think they haven’t called because I wanted more than they wanted to pay. And there are people who won’t challenge their offer. On 11/7/2020 at 10:49 AM, Rurik Harrgath said: You still alive out there, Rinna? Hope all is well! I’m still alive. Or maybe undead.

It went alright. But no offer thus far. If it’s meant, it’ll happen. We aren’t in a bind, praise the Lord. But after so long as a mom/housewife I wanted to help, even if it was in a small way. Thanks everyone. I def don’t feel brave, or worthy, or worth a shit. You’re kindness slays me.

It was good practice anyway, and an exercise in courage too. If you are planning to apply for more positions, ask them for feedback so you know what to work on for next time. 4 hours ago, Rinna said: I’m still alive. Or maybe undead. Not sure some days.

Especially in the US - so stressful for everyone. I feel so much pain coming out of those little sentences. Please be kind to yourself. You are not forgotten. If you ever need someone to unload on, I am a good listener.
