i got a job working for customer service for a medical company and start next week thankfully. Better pay than the other customer service jobs that i was looking at too. I am doing okay, but still trying to avoid all this bad food at home. The birthday cake was just evil, despite me being the one that bought it. The meat cake that i made worked out very well the first time, but i am guessing if i tried to make it again, it would be worse because i always tend to have beginner's luck when i make a new recipe. Then i fail the next times. other than that nothing else is happening to me.

Still not much progress on the job searching. I had an interview this week and that went okay. i am going to go in for some other jobs in Lexington and do the application process there. Thankfully thanks to the Kohl's sale i get $30 for free thanks to my sister's spending this week that i will humbly be partaking of. The weather has turned a little cold with more rain expected throughout the week. Then there is Rocky Horror this weekend at the Kentucky theatre. I saw Potiche this weekend with the parentals and i liked it. Pretty wit and funny for a french film with Catherine Deneuve, based on her very dramatic performance in Dancer in The Dark as a comparison. I think that i will just have to start making all the foods that i want instead of going out for them because american food is such crap and laden with all these hidden dangers like trans fat in pretty much all the ice creams, even in a wide selection of the ones in the grocery stores. I would like to go to the world's largest grocery store near Cincinatti sometime soon and get some good flours, cheeses, and maybe some hot sauce and roasted cocoa beans, and whatever else i can find up there. Doctor Who was a lot better this week than the stupid pirate episode.

Had to do traffic school online today for four and a half hours, then i went to the vein doctor for an ultrasound. It looks like they will be able to do something about it. I just have to wear compression socks for 6 weeks to see if that does anything before the insurance company will allow me to have the surgery for it. Then i made dinner, and then i worked on my translation sample i had to do for a job offer somewhere i applied to-but at the moment i forget where i applied for it. Did some job searching today, but still no luck with anything. I really want a job, and if i don't have one by the end of the month, i will have to start thinking about doing more drastic things and looking for something outside the US even. I feel like i am not accomplishing that much. It feels like the summer before i left for Japan. I stay home and make dinner and look for jobs, though nothing really happens, and then i have no real friends here that will actually talk to me on a regular basis. My family is off doing their things, and i just feel a little depressed. I left Japan for this. I just have too much time on my hands now to reflect on how wrong that decision could have been and how unemployable i am and imperfect in my mind i am about everything. The only plus so far to coming home is the healthcare in English. My mom has awesome insurance that i was allowed to be on till i am 26, so that is the only positive that i have been seeing here. It is a good one and it is nice to be getting all this stuff done that i needed to get done, But then again, i have a lot of things that need to be taken care of that in itself is probably not a good thing.

I do like my nephews and nieces, and they are dears to be around. I just wish i could be allowed to teach them something, or get them in some sort of language school while they are young. They will thank me and their parents later.

well still looking for a job. got my deferral, so i guess i am set for the next year besides not having any money. I feel really bad because i do not have a job and the expenses are still going to be there. I want to have a good job so i can learn and get the experience in order to have a better job and live in London. got my computer reformatted because of the virus i got. not much else is going on in my life.
