Jewells of Thought

For the past couple of days I have felt that way. I can’t keep up with my posts lately, since last Thursday I have been in a state of bewilderment. Due to my cousin’s assistance in coaching me through my interview I was more prepared than I have ever been for one.

However, I was simply one of many candidates, once again for this position. This has been my problem time and time again. Yet what is most frustrating was that they weren’t going to say anything to the ones they didn’t pick. I don’t understand why they think that is okay for the people who worked to prepare for these interviews. It’s incomprehensible. Why are they the one’s doing this if they can’t handle the duties of saying yea or nay to the candidates.

This is not my only frustration though. I have been stressed out by a secondary issue that has plagued the whole household. Last night I finally got a good night’s sleep after two bad nights of too much caffeine. When I have been able to relax I have been using piano therapy or cross-stitch to unwind.

Yesterday’s stress took up to tonight to finally unwind and those hobbies didn’t work. It took sleeping in getting my bike rides in Christmas movies and resting some more to settle down. Do you also have trouble sleeping? How do you de-stress? I had to use different methods today from yesterday and only had short-term progress last night, but I did finally get rid of the headache last night. There were lingering effects today though that were difficult to just quickly remove.

Today though I think I have realized I’m not defeated. I just needed to de-stress. Some slivers of hope have come to reality at different points over today. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Plus it’s our time with my niece this weekend our burst of sunshine when we need her.
