Yep, that's right, I'm sick! To anyone who reads my blog or knows me, this isn't news lol. I wish I could say it was just mentally, but no such luck. I seem to be a walking infection. In the last three weeks I've had a biopsy, bacterial infection, and now a virus. That of course is on top of my regular headaches. So, what does this mean for me?
Well I've started looking for a new job/career. I'm looking for a work from home or part-time position. It also needs to be a quiet, low stress environment. Ha! I know. Where the hell are those jobs? My pharmacist's wife suggested maybe a funeral home. (Yes, I'm quite familiar with my pharmacy staff.) I started to roll my eyes, but then I actually considered it for a minute. It's definitely quiet!
I started really applying for jobs this week though. So far, the only one I've heard back from is for a personal assistant job. The only problem is that after I sent my resume with ALL my contact information, I received a more complete job description from the gentleman. No, it's not what you're thinking. He didn't want any sort of relations, but he wanted me to mail checks for him to people that he was getting wrecked cars from because he sells the cars out of the country. He would give me account numbers etc. and I was supposed to do the rest. He said he lived in New York and was an American citizen. Why would he want a personal assistant in Texas and why did he feel the need to tell me he's a citizen? At the very least I think he could be dealing in stolen cars or wanting me to launder money. Um yeah, I said no thank you. Let's not forget though that he has my home address and phone number. I have a feeling this one is going to come back to bite me! I'm still waiting to hear back from several other, hopefully more legitimate, prospects.
The other thing that concerns me about being sick is the people I love. My friends at work and my students pretty much think I've fallen off the planet. My parents are torn between worrying about me and telling me to suck it up and go to work. And then, there is my fairly new relationship. I've found this great guy. I'm just so terrified he's going to get fed up with my health issues. He has shown me no indication that he is annoyed at all. He checks on me and is really great. The worries I have aren't based on anything he's said or done, but I guess more on my past relationships. My ex-husband literally would leave the house when I didn't feel good because he just could not stand to be around sick people. In his mind, people who get sick are weak. Most guys I talked to after my divorce ran for the hills when I mentioned I have a health condition. My boyfriend is absolutely amazing though which is probably why I'm so afraid of it not working out. I'm working with my counselor on these insecurities.
