The advent of summer and real life.

I got a call back on my application/first interview with Turn Community Services (the place that works with mentally disabled people). They want me to come in for an interview tomorrow. I'll go in. Maybe I can work something out with some kind of on-the-job training. It's a good paying job if I can start soon enough to make it count.

I'm hoping to take the drivers' test on Thursday, so transportation will no longer be an issue. Besides, if this doesn't work out, it'll be easier to run around and look for other jobs. Or hopefully I'll get a call back from one of the other places. I think it'd be pretty cool to work at Home Depot. I'd love to work in the garden department.

Speaking of garden, mine got planted! I'm surprised the dogs have actually left it alone... Surprised but gratified, anyway. I planted Foxglove, Impatiens, Forget-Me-Nots, Canterbury Bells, Sweet Williams, Hollyhocks, Snapdragons, Petunias, Cosmos and Bachelors Buttons. Like I say, I haven't really messed around with flowers before, so we'll see how many come up. If the seeds don't sprout, I suppose I'll just get some from the greenhouses. It'll probably look sort of ragged and funny, anyway. I haven't got a great deal of experience planning out the finer points of plant placement in a garden... I don't care, though. As long as the flowers bloom and smell nice.

Anyway... with all this running around after jobs and kids and Tovie and the garden, I haven't had the usual amount of time to surf the net. For some reason, I find this strangely gratifying. Getting a real life instead of an internet one has been on my list of goals for a long time, and it looks like I'm getting there.

So, hurrah for sunburns - it's getting so hot out! Weird how it does that. It's winter... then - BOOM! It's summer. I want to go swimming. I think I'll go finish my laundry, instead, though. :)

More to come, as life goes on...
