So tired...

This has been a very long week. Started cutting out the invasive weed trees(and vines I think) that are taking over the circle.  So far spent nearly three hours and cleared maybe a 10 foot square.  Have to cut them down then poison the stump, so it takes a while. And filled up the wheelbarrow at least 4 times with what I cut down.
Work's been interesting, with the new night manager taking over and the last two other experienced cashiers leaving.  Plus I was supposed to close last night then open this morning.  The night manager found out and sent me home at nine but thanks to a dog barking before 11:30 I didn't get that much sleep regardless.  Then I wound up staying almost a hour and a half later.  But I managed.
Had the final interview with the second Japanese job option, though I wound up coming a half hour later thanks to getting lost and lack of parking. Sigh...I didn't get the job, but it wasn't because of that(or so they told me).  Still have the other though...
Getting colder, though not fast so I can work outside without sweating but not need a jacket. Garden's running out of time to ripen, and there's tons of tomatoes still on the vine.  Found out the little pumpkin type squash I've been wondering about are basically a decorative squash for tables in the fall.  Not much for eating.  At least there's something to do with them....

I Hate Myself

Sometimes anyway.  Like when school starts up so I can find sub jobs to fill in when I don't have work.  Only I decided to see how many I could fit in around work for this past week and next week, not just on my days off. With dropping my brother off at his work in the very early morning(like just after midnight) late nights at work, doing early morning stuff does not make for a restful night.  Sigh.  Does help with saving money for Japan though...
I think my allergies kicked in a little early, or a tiny cold(feels like allergies though) so breathing is tricky.  doesn't help that I've spent the last two days mowing the lawn that's gotten way too long again.  Sigh.  Front wasn't too bad, but the back was.  Still have another hour's worth to go on it, even with one of my brothers helping out this afternoon while I was at work.
Had to get two more references(first two didn't fit the bill I guess) for the second possible job in Japan thing, then record a demo lesson/self intro deal.  Meant 2 hours trying to get my computer to use my webcam to record it(finally had to give up on that) then another hour getting it set up and so rushing through the recording. Not too bad, but I felt more nervous than usual as a result and it kind of showed.  Good news is they're letting me redo it, but only til tomorrow.  At least they gave me more instructions than I got the first time.  And since I already know about the webcam failure I just need the alternate option I used last time.  And a blank wall or large whiteboard...
My second oldest brother left to go to another state for his job(not sure if it's called a volunteer transfer as they told him he'd get a huge jump in pay, plus they'd help with moving costs and so on) and my oldest sister went with him so they could trade off driving(he wanted to bring his car).  Not sure if it'll be that big of a change for me, I rarely saw him anyways with the way my work schedule and his lined up(He left early in the morning and I went to work before he got off).  But we'll see soon.
My oldest niece is turning 8!  We're giving her a party tomorrow(tradition to do it sunday's so more people can make it) for it.  Fun....
