You know the saying that goes life happens when you make other plans? Nothing I had set out for last week happened. Patrick was sick with a bad cough for most of it and that had the knock-on effect of me not getting anytyhing done.
As for what's going to happen this week, I'm actually not sure. My course is supposed to start tomorrow, but I haven't heard anything from the institute since about June 21 when they emailed me to ask what papers I wanted to take. I replied to that, and ... nothing. I tried calling a couple of times but only got an answerphone. So, tomorrow (they've been on semester break) I'm going in there in person and politely asking whether I'm enrolled or not.
I'm still waiting to hear back from the part-time admin job that I interviewed for, and the other one that I had a phone interview for I didn't progress. I'm living in limbo and it's actually the worst. If I start the course then that's something, and then if I get the job what I'll likely do is put the course on hold and maybe re-enrol next year, but I don't want to speak my plans too loudly - lol.
We're coming into school holidays for two weeks here as well, so spawn will be home for a bit. I don't like things to be this ... disorderly.
I finished The Crow yesterday and I'm hoping to get a review up for that this week. I'm also about to dive into the next Temeraire book - Tongues of Serpents. For everything else - let's say I'd like to get some blogging and writing done, and some stitching and get a few walks in, but honestly - let's see how I go.
What about you? What are you doing? What are you reading? How's your week?
Aw, that's too bad about your plans :( my week was pretty tough too! Too much work, both me and BF got sick as well. Meh! But at least everything was good on the blog front :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this next week is going to be better for you :)
Evelina: Tough week all around :( Thank you - you too!
DeleteSounds like you had a bad week. Things will click into place, I just know it. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week, sending positive thoughts! ~Aleen
I hope so - that's what I keep telling myself. Thank you :)
DeleteI hate when people do not respond to calls! Especially when they leave you hanging.
ReplyDeleteHope it gets sorted.
Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Me too - I just need to know what I'm doing next! Thanks, you too!
DeleteI hated when I applied for jobs and you never hear back, I know a lot of them get loads of replies but it nice to know. Anyway fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteThey were doing reference checks last week, so hopefully today I'll know one way or another. But I agree - even an email saying thanks but no thanks is better than nothing. Thank you!
DeleteSomeone it will all come together, it's the in-between that makes you crazy. Hope the kiddo is better. Fingers-crossed all goes well.
ReplyDeleteYep, the in-between is the worst. Kiddo is definitely feeling better, thank you. Good timing as school holidays start today - lol
DeleteHope this week is better! Waiting to hear back is always the worst. Good luck with your class!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about the Temeraire series...
Thank you! The Temeraire series is a lot of fun. Plus, dragons. You can't really go wrong.
DeleteThat does sound stressful to be waiting for so many things to place together.
ReplyDeleteIt is, a bit :)
DeleteI hope some of the things that are causing so much stress resolve themselves this week. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy! :)
DeleteI hate that feeling of living in limbo. I hope you hear what you need to hear so you can make the decisions you need to make.
ReplyDeleteWe're in the last few days in our current place. It seems like the work to move will never end. Come see what I'm reading when I'm not packing.
Limbo is the worst for sure. Thank you :)
