I&#8217;m in a crap-hole financially; I&#8217;m insanely lonely as I haven&#8217;t made any friends here and have been having a hard time finding a church; my arms have been giving me a lot of problems lately (and my legs are already messed up); and to top it all off I tried to slice my thumb off with a box cutter the other day.<\/p>\n<p>BUT this week is suddenly looking up.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago I got a call about a job (out of the blue, I wasn&#8217;t actively looking for a job because I figured it was impossible to find a part-time remote job I could do with my disability anyway), but after talking to him and finding out the job would be perfect for me &#8212; he called me back a week later to tell me they found someone else.  That same week I got another call about another job (no idea where all the calls were coming from suddenly) but that guy hadn&#8217;t even looked at the &#8216;part time only&#8217; stipulation.  Two false alarms that close together just exasperated me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, in the meantime I started going to this new church I found (see previous post), and at least that was looking promising.<\/p>\n<p>So this week on Monday the guy that called about the first job called back&#8230; I guess the other guy didn&#8217;t work and the employer wanted an interview on Tuesday!  So Tuesday&#8217;s interview went pretty well.  Tuesday I also got like 3 sales on Etsy and had the bright idea of listing some stuff on eBay again.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday I sold another couple of things and went to church&#8230; where I had the most awesome conversation with the pastor!!!  So I can officially say I have a new church now, and the people are actually friendly (so I might *gasp* finally make some friends here)!  <\/p>\n<p>Thursday morning I got a call saying I got the job!  And it&#8217;s more money per hour than I thought it would be!  He didn&#8217;t know when I would be starting though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday afternoon I FINALLY got in to see the hand therapist who made me a freakin HUGE cast-splint for when my arm is acting up (ugh, nothing like a full arm cast to show you how fat you are lol) &#8212; hopefully this&#8217;ll mean faster recovery next time it goes out.<\/p>\n<p>I spent all day with the brace guy (long story)&#8230; when I got back there was a call from the recruiter wanting me to come for a drug screen and paperwork because the employer wants me to start as soon as possible.  So I ran up there today, and filled out everything.  It sounds like I might be starting as soon as mid-week.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, my CRAYO-Names (see my <lj-user><\/lj-user><\/p>\n<div class=\"ljuser\"><a href=\"http:\/\/storyblox.livejournal.com\/profile\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" src=\"http:\/\/stat.livejournal.com\/img\/userinfo.gif\" alt=\"[info]\" style=\"border: 0pt none ; vertical-align: bottom;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/storyblox.livejournal.com\/\"><b>storyblox<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n<p> profile for details) are selling like hot-cakes on ebay!<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and my thumb &#8212; which is barely hurting any at all for some unknown reason (NOT that I&#8217;m complaining) &#8212; is starting to heal lol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know me you know I&#8217;ve been having a hard time lately.
