Saturday Randomness

After returning from the pool yesterday, I checked the heat index: 92 degrees.

No wonder I burned my feet walking on the concrete around the pool. It was brutal! I couldn't sit still in my lounge chair. I brought a book, a magazine and my iPod and I couldn't bear to read or listen to music.

So I decide to get into the pool. I am a little weird about pools. Ours is very clean and cared for meticulously and still I sort of get creeped out if I see a random bug floating around. I know, I'm weird.

Anyway, so I get in and it's like I'm taking a soak in the DESERT. The pool water was incredibly warm, and therefore, not at all refreshing.

I decide to get back out and torture myself a little longer so I can dry off and attempt to get some rays again.

Not happening. I couldn't take it. Way too hot...at one point I felt like I couldn't breathe it was so hot.

And therein lies the problem...it is impossible to enjoy the hot Florida sun during the late spring and summer (hell, even fall) months because it's just too damn hot.

Today I am heading out for a manicure and an eyebrow wax before I start packing for my trip. The girl who normally does my nails is pregnant and on bed rest, which means I have to go to the B Team at my nail salon. My nail girl is really good and everyone else there is just...eh. Thankfully she told me who to ask for if she was unavailable so today I'm going to see Kelly. Kelly's real name is something like Phuc Nyguen. All these girls are Vietnamese and have Americanized names.

I checked in for tomorrow's flight on Southwest this morning, at exactly 11:55 am {24 hours before my flight} and I'm happy to report I got into the A Group, but my Position is 32! What the heck? How did 31 people get checked in before me? I will never understand how that works.

Usually I am a very calm, anxious-free individual. However, when it comes to traveling--particularly if I am traveling for an interview, in tomorrow's case--I become a nervous wreck. I don't know why I do this to myself. I work myself all into knots and worry about everything. And the thing is, I'm very organized and on top of things, so why do I get so anxious? I will never understand it. I have a recurring nightmare that I am traveling and I get lost. I miss my flight, or I end up taking a wrong exit on the interstate. Talk about paranoid!

I am signing off until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week...my flight back gets in very late on Monday night. This is the final interview and hopefully the end of my job hunting saga. I can't take much more of this, so let's hope this job works out. More news next week!!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend to All!
