My work practice period is ending soon and I DO intend to apply to work at the store for real after that, but a week in which I have worked at the store is not a week where I have enough energy left over to tackle an application. I guess I should express this directly to my career counselor.
I'm also hanging on week by week right now, because even though I DO feel better than a coupla weeks ago (spoons-wise, energy-wise, general level of cheer-wise, ability to keep up with the dishes although the kitchen still needs desperately to be washed and not just tidied...), I'm still too tired to squeeze extra cleaning in on a work day and there's a huge cleaning debt in the house right now, and the dust bunnies and untidiness are oppressing me. Working three days in a row at this point in the year creates like a sleep-and-spoons debt where I need to sleep 18 hours and then lie motionless for 18 hours thinking about nothing in order to recover before I can handle doing anything. I am looking forward to the work practice ending when I will have at least a few weeks off to recover and do some spring cleaning.
I think the last day is somewhere in early March, but I've got a meeting with the manager and my career counselor at the store next week.
We are still walking miserably to the store and back and can't run any errands because of the car having died (NEARLY A MONTH AGO). Wax says she doesn't WANT to have it fixed yet, because if the car is fixed we'll have to walk to the garage to pick it up and she doesn't want to walk to the garage right now in the Icy Times. There are four-foot piles of snow on the corners and the main downtown paths are graveled, but there's a good six inches of ice in the trampled desire paths and they haven't all been graveled, and as the ice starts to melt on the days above freezing, the gravel sinks into it. Maybe I could convince her that we can manage it by taking the bus most of the way.
