I haven't written in a while, so I thought I should so an update. You haven't missed much.
- I didn't get the job at Game Stop. They hired a guy instead. I took a day off to bawl and then got back to filling out applications... I applied to that particular Game Stop back in March. Maybe one of the places I'm applying to now will call me in another 3 months for an interview.
- Just for fun, I also applied to be on the game show Minute To Win It. And they're the place that ended up calling me back! Anyway, I went down to the audition and got to play some of the games (like "Stack Attack"), but I didn't get chosen. They were more interested in people who came as a team/couple. They put a mark on my application and said they "might" call me back if they need more single players, but I'm not going to count on it.
- We weren't able to catch Robert's Mom. We had to return the trap to FixNation. We actually haven't seen her in a couple weeks. We think she went somewhere and had her kittens. If she turns up again, we'll get the trap back from FixNation and try again.
- Since I don't have a job or a whole lot else going on, I've been working even harder than usual to stay on top of my health. My hypoglycemia was still pretty much under control, but I was starting to get lazy in some areas, so I've been re-reading my books. I have several books on the subject, but my favorite is Hypoglycemia For Dummies. Not only is it the easiest to use for reference material, but it also says this on page 107, "Recent research appears to show that soybeans may be a bit of a mixed bag." That's what made me really fall in love with it. The first book I got on hypoglycemia was written a long time ago and really pushes soybeans as a substitute for everything. It's pretty enraging because a.) I'm allergic to soy! and, b.) soy isn't really good for anyone! (you've all read my report by now, right?). So yeah. Good stuff.
- I've also re-joined "Body By Glamour." I don't use the recipes or anything, but having an online Food/Exercise journal is very handy. I'm able to log in my meals and see if I'm getting enough of what I need and make adjustments accordingly. I've used their website in the past for this purpose and it was quite helpful and I looked and felt better because of it.
