Home Alone Wednesday

IT is the lull between the end of summer classes and the beginning of Fall semester. The lines of people wanting coffee at the shop I work at has begun to thin and our work hours have been cut. Next week, I don't have to report for work at all. This gives me a break to concentrate one more on applications. Recently I have not been motivated. Turning down a job offer can be emotionally taxing. Thankfully, this was easier but nonetheless draining.

I am looking forward to Sunday because that is when I leave for Denver for a job interview. The institution is in Boulder but I'm staying in Denver because the airport is there and Denver downtown seems to be a better place to explore. Also, I've got a date :)

And unlike my Las Vegas China Town date, I feel more detached about this one and I think that that is a good thing. No more filling in the blanks with the description of your own personal concept of "the right guy". I am just going to meet with him briefly at a coffee shop and maybe make a friend. I feel that I'm too busy or too preoccupied right now to think of romance.

In other news, I am home alone right now and am trying to recover from a very bad cold and a sore throat. I think it arose from a very bad combination of throat singing in the car, a cold virus, sleeping late, stress and PMS.

Bleagh.

my mother always says to boil fresh ginger and add some honey... but your mother probably says the same thing!

Hi Moonrat,

Yes, my mom instantly said "I'll make you some salabat!" which is what we call ginger tea in the Philippines. I'm actually feeling better today and will rejoin the outside world in an hour. Thanks for stopping by!
