Good afternoon.

The week was okay.  I had my phone interview on Monday and they called me back in the same day to schedule an in-person interview.  I didn't get the QC job, but that's okay.  Being a destiny oriented individual, I believe that everything happens for a reason and in that, I don't try to force doors open that are not meant for me to open.  The position I more recently applied for was braiding/textile tech.  I have my in-person interview for the braiding/textile tech position Thursday morning.  I have tomorrow off from work as I have a doctor's appointment to follow-up from the procedures that I had for my back.  The procedure is holding up pretty well for me for the most part.  Tomorrow, my mom also has surgery, so I'll be waiting to hear from her on how that goes.  I'm praying it goes well for her.

Jay and I celebrated our 14 year anniversary this past weekend.  Our anniversary technically isn't until November 26th, but seeing as how that's Thanksgiving week, we celebrated a little early.  We also celebrated the fact that he's been with his job for a year.  We visited Sigal Music Museum in Greenville and then went out to eat.  I finally got my Nashville hot and honey Chipotle mozzarella sticks at Chilis and yes, I got the cheese pull!  Other than that, I spent the weekend doing some light household chores and did a little more painting on my figurines.  I took a decent nap today as I was a little tired.  All in all, it was a good weekend.  I've already started buying things in preparation for Thanksgiving.  Jay's dad and I are splitting Thanksgiving down the middle as far as costs and cooking goes.

Anyways, that basically sums up my week and weekend.

Here's a photo dump from the weekend.

Good morning.

This week went by rather quickly.

Friday I went grocery shopping fairly early.  I came home and did dishes and laundry.  I made two loafs of homemade apple cinnamon bread - one for us and one for Jay's dad.  We took Jay's dad out for lunch yesterday at China buffet.  Having that family time was nice - we ended up discussing Thanksgiving plans.  We are going to split Thanksgiving down the middle with the cost of food and also cooking.  I also stopped at PetSmart and got pee pads and Greenies dental chews for Rebel.  Rebel's been dealing with dental plague so hopefully these help with that.  I finally started painting my 3D prints on Friday.  I focused mostly on Cheshire but also managed to paint Alice's hair.  I just have some light chores to do today such as washing our couch covers, vacuuming, dishes and cooking our dinner for the week.  I'm doing a simple dinner this week - sheet pan kielbasa, sausage, roasted potatoes and carrots.  Other than that, I just have plans of mostly relaxing.  Probably going to play video games for a bit and then get back to reading the bible.

Jay and I are suppose to go to Denver Downs farm this weekend for cider fest and pumpkin nights pending it doesn't rain.  Jay wants to get a funnel cake and I want to get an order of fried pickles and a corn dog.  Jay and I are going to visit with the family animals and watch Exit 83 band play.  I haven't heard anything back about the quality job, but they did post a position for braiding/textile tech I which was my second option, so when I got home Thursday afternoon, I applied for that.  I received a phone call on Friday requesting to set up a phone interview for the position, so I have that on Monday at 10 a.m.  I have all of my notes prepped and ready to go for that.  What is meant for me will be and I know God will make sure of that.  My only concern is the pay.  I don't mind temporarily making what I already do, but I prefer not to take a pay cut if at all possible.
