Wasting time

It is SO hot.

I have a copy editor job at Cook Medical For which I should be applying right now. I am intimidated, however, because I know I made a grammar error in my cover letter in my last application. I won't let myself go to bed tonight until it is done so I 'd better get moving soon!

I am selfishly worried about work tomorrow. If the Martinsville office is still flooded or without power I will end up doing double work again this week, even though Pam is back from vacation. What a selfish bitch I am to think about myself and not the people whose homes are flooded! I am worried about my mental health, though, seriously. I was really on the brink Friday.

Drive-in was good last night. I REALLY liked King Fu Panda. It was well done, Jack Black kicked some panther ass. I said to Heather, "I always think it's kind of funny how much you like children's movies, but I think I like this one enough that it will be one of my favorites." She sat quietly for a second and then said something like, "You think it's weird I like kid's movies?" I think I hurt her feelings. She then said something about having enough drama in her life already - which I can see.... I guess maybe my theory is I can distract by focusing on other drama and not real life. She just distracts with another method. I must admit to just last week, though, when Sarah said the girls had never seen "Beauty and the Beast," I impulsively wanted to say they could have my DVD, but a part of ME wanted to have that DVD SO badly I didn't do it because I love to sing along with Belle on that first song... so I guess I have a little of that children's movie thing too...

Speaking of drama... I talked to my Sister in Law a long time today about Mom and Dad and the house and their health and the STUFF and the SITUATION and I am so confused and frustrated and I wish there would be some magic way to make it all better. I think the magic way would be lots of money, but unfortunately, none of us have that. I can barely keep afloat for me and Michael. I did realize I have friends who work in the health care and specifically elder care industry in their area and I should use them as a resource and that is one of my first steps. Big DUH on my part.

Happy today for: Debbie - who even though she always cancels on me when we make plans, printed out the forms for Michael's canoe trip and brought them down for me so I could be prepared when I take him to drop him off tomorrow. Reliable and helpful for something that really counted!
