It's been cold, it's been rainy, it's been cold, it's been rainy... Everyday it's one or the other in not so sunny Southern California. Haven't written because there hasn't been much to report. The Hub and I have been doing a pretty good job of of trying to take it easy. You never know how crazy life in LA can be until you are dog tired and that is what I was in December. I am glad our holiday season was low key because it gave me the chance to recharge my battery's but the problem is keeping it that way. I see the craziness of work sneaking it's way back in. Can you say 3 summer blockbusters?
What helped in keeping our holidays low key was the fact that 90 lb Girl ended his job before Christmas. Not knowing where his next job would come from put the halt on spending money and pretty much put the halt on us doing anything but relaxing at home. During our down time I took up some reading and totally got into feng shui-ing our entire house. Anyone who knows me knows I love to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange. Something can't sit for too long before I feel the urge to move it.
After taking the feng shui book's advice on how to get a new job (i.e. which involved hanging wind chimes outside our front door and putting good job thoughts in an aluminum box in our helpful people and travel room a.k.a. the dining room) my hubby got a call for an interview. It wasn't with his past employer but from a cold call or rather cold submission of his resume to an ad online. This past Friday during the horrible down pour he went in for an interview. He had a pretty good feeling about it when he got home so that night we splurged and went to dinner. This week he got a call with a job offer!! And guess what? He not only got a good pay raise but he got a job working days so I can see him! You might not think this is due to feng shui but I do (Brian said he had never felt good after an interview before and nobody ever answers those online job posting ads). Even if it wasn't feng shui, at the very least, there is something to thinking positively. I think if you keep an open mind anything is possible. Open minds are open to opportunities.
Anyhoo, the hubby goes to work the week after next. Not only did he get a new job but the old people called him in to work a few days this week (Thank God I upped the purple and gold in the prosperity room a.k.a the master bathroom). Anyhoo I am happy. I told myself not to worry when his job ended sooner then expected and for once I didn't worry (which is totally rare) and whala he's got a new job. Thank you feng shui and God!
