4-day weekend here we come!

I’m pretty excited about it considering how much I hate work and have no interest in being there. I need to spend some of the weekend applying for jobs. I have to keep telling myself a job is not going to fly out of the sky. I have to pursue it relentlessly so I can get out of this office. DH and I both have tomorrow off, which is good and bad. Good because we can do fun things together and get out of town together. Bad because I was going to use that time to apply for jobs that are coming up with the closing date tomorrow. I applied for one already and the other one I’m going to apply for some this evening and some tomorrow morning and afternoon. It wouldn’t be that big of a deal but with applying for govt jobs means having to spend a couple of hours preparing essays on how you are qualified for the job. They SUCK!! You spend so much time on something that will probably never come to fruition. It is just so frustrating, but I have to keep going.

Ok, enough complaining for now. Think happy thoughts. Tomorrow DH and I were supposed to go on a hike but it looks like it is going to rain. So scratch that, we’re going south to the Northern Neck in VA to a few wineries. It is not supposed to rain in VA but it is supposed to rain in MD so go figure. DH has been wanting to do this forever. I’m not like uber excited because I’ve been to the Northern Neck and I don’t find it that interesting but he really wants to go. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there so maybe it’s nicer than it used to be.

Tonight is my training to be a volunteer teaching English to immigrants. I hope it goes well. I’m not sure when we’ll start teaching, but it should be in a few weeks. DH and I have been doing a couch-to-5k program. We kind of started in the middle of the program because we can run for a while and are not that out of shape. It’s been going well so far. It’s fun to run together and it is a lot easier to commit to a run than a trip to they gym. But it means that I haven’t been to the gym in a while. Eeek! I told myself I would never do this because I don’t want to waste my money. I’ll have to go back sometime this weekend. I’m just not sure when. We have our 2nd flag football game on Sunday. It’s another scrimmage, but it will be useful to keep working out the kinks in our game.

I’m looking forward to Monday. I have it off because it is a government holiday and DH has to work. I have a day-off to myself and I’m pretty excited about it. As much as I love DH very much and enjoy my time with him, I do miss my Fridays some time.
