BEA'S BOOK NOOK "I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once." C. S. Lewis “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” ― Oscar Wilde

I had several interviews this week and both were promising. I should know more next week. Today I'm going apple picking then I have to get busy making sugar scrubs, bath salts, and melt and pour soaps to sell at a flea market next Monday. What are your plans? Anything fun or exciting?

I am a bad, bad blogger. I was filling out a form and realized that I had once again missed my blog's birthday. I think one year I remembered. :D The blog turned 4 at the beginning of the month. Four years, hard to believe. Once I have a job, I'll do some sort of giveaway to celebrate. On the job front, I had several interviews and I'm feeling good about them.

Summer is gone! The weather has cooled off considerably and I'm sleeping with a blanket now; during the summer I just used a sheet. This is my kind of weather - sunny blue sky, crisp air with a slight bite, and cool evenings. Claude and Goof are tolerating each other and Claude is spending more time out of my bedroom. I didn't get the teaching job but I did sign with a publisher for part-time editing and I am now a personal assistant to author Cara Covington. I still need a full-time job but things are looking up. :)

I had a busy week with job hunting, doctor's appointments, and my church's annual fair. The rain held off for the latter until after we started breaking down for the day, which was a relief. The weather makes a huge difference in the turnout we get and rain is a killer.

Last week was pretty good. The subbing job went well and I had fun; sadly, it's done so I'm again unemployed. My friend that was in the hospital is now home and my brother, who was also in a hospital, is back home. Claude is settling in, so in all it was a good week. :) How was yours?

It was a mixed week last week, some bad stuff and some good stuff. In the good news department, I have a temporary teaching job, and I have some editing jobs lined up. As far as the bad news, well, a friend is ill and in the hospital, we don't know for how long. I  have my fingers crossed that treatment will kick in quickly but I'm not hopeful. Also, I have another new roommate, a cat named Claude. He belongs to the daughter of a former co-worker; the daughter and her husband are moving to Australia and forget to allow time for Claude's quarantine. Claude doesn't get along with her mother's cats so he's staying with me until he can legally enter Australia, which should be in January.

So my week off did not go as planned. Instead of helping at Habitat, I came down with a sinus infection and asthma flare. I didn't get around to visiting many posts or blogs last week, my apologies. I hope to do better this week. I spent the past week dozing but not sleeping, thank you, steroids :(, reading, vegging, and watching TV. I'm slowly getting better, actually feeling human again as of Saturday. Goof has kept me company but gives me disgusted looks when my coughing spasms interfere with his sleeping on my lap. Because I do it just to bother him, of course. smh
