I Tried.
I really wanted to be in a positive mood today.
I even tried to read more of the spiritual book I've been working on, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. There were some really beautiful thoughts in what I read this morning- but no avail.
I was in a sour mood before the shelter even opened.
I really wish I could maintain a positive attitude. I'm just not very well equipped in that department- and my job isn't one that lends towards positive and upbeat as it is.
Two good things I can point out though, the 3 year old rattie I was sure was going to be euthanized- well she came back from her mass removal surgery and looks just fine. Also one of our own neighborhood strays (cat) was turned in a while back by one of our neighbors. He needed medical attention badly. He had a crippled front leg. Turns out the vets think it is/was bone cancer. They removed that leg, and he came back to the shelter today. He's still his beautiful, loving self.
I wish I could be grateful for what I have when I could be like one of these poor animals in the shelter. We take as good of care as we can but they're still there with us instead of a loving, safe home.
I just want to say, I'm not entirely unhappy with the whole of my life but for my working life. The rest I can honestly manage just not with this current combination.
I'm still doing what I can to change my situation. I've applied for more jobs. I emailed the backgrounds department for the police dispatch job I want and have been on the list for backgrounds since last summer. I asked what I could do to boost my chances. They didn't give me much of an answer there but told me they plan on looking at candidates in September for the academy that starts "the first of the year". I hope that's true, that it doesn't change, and that I get a chance. Please cross your fingers for me if you could be so kind.
I'd also like to stress that thankfully by the end of my day I had some really kind people come through so I didn't have to be so stressed out. I worked adoptions today and it was so steady that I didn't even notice the day go by. There were some people I wanted to throttle- but I recovered quickly.
I did text our part time desk worker to see if she'd like to cover my shift on tuesday so that I could have a 3 day weekend. I need some breathing space. Badly. She's going to take the shift. Nice. So I only have to survive two more days of work and try to relax Sunday through Tuesday. I would love to go somewhere but I need to save my pennies.
My sister and her husband seem to have found the place they want us to move to. It sounds smaller than what I'd like it to be. I'm going to have to make a strong argument for ME getting the master bedroom. I spend 99.9% of my time in my room/bathroom. The other .01% in the kitchen to fix meals/eat. They spend 80% of their time in the livingroom, 10% in the kitchen, 10% in their room/bathroom. I think that makes for a pretty good argument for me to have the master. They'll have two of the 3 bedrooms to do what they want with, the living room and other living space. I'm supposed to see this place Sunday sometime. It sounds fair to me, but of course I'm not always working with logical people. Unfortunately.
Bleh.
Oh and Bleh.
