It is Halloween time, everyone has their pumpkins on their front stoops, festive orange lights around trees, and corn stocks around the lamp posts. Pretty soon the ghosts and goblins will be arriving at my door asking for their treats. Witches Brews will be simmering, although I think the aliens are at my door already!
I have been having interviews with multiple companies over the past several weeks, some further along in the process than others, yet all of them require moving out of Indiana. Moving is not a problem for me, I am looking forward to moving to a new location and starting a new chapter in my life, a new adventure! In the process of going through my stuff to weed out the junk that doesn't need to move with me, I am stirring up memories that are overwhelming me. You see I am in the middle of my second divorce, yikes say WHAT?????
Yesterday I found my wedding and honeymoon files which brought back very fond memories. We rented out the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA for the wedding. We had the place packed with family and friends. So what do I do with the stuff I keep asking myself? Keep it or toss it? Even though the marriage is failing, the wedding memories are still good right? Darn it those Phantom ghosts and Evil B*tches from the past. What about the mementos from the Mediterranean cruise we took for our honeymoon? All the ticket stubs that I was going to put into a scrap book, do I keep them or toss them? So many questions and so many haunting, fun and adventurous memories. What to do, what to do?
So you can see my Conundrum. One side of me is in melancholy, the other side is excited for the new adventure. Speaking of which, I finally received my first unemployment check, er deposit, debit card, whatever they are calling it now. What an adventure that turned out to be. I really feel for the folks who are not as fortunate as I am who really depend on that money to keep their families safe and fed. While the government Vampires may think they are doing people a favor by only using these debit cards, it makes it very difficult and challenging to get the money in the appropriate place without any extra fees that only dwindle the amount that you actually receive.
While I may have poked fun at being required to attend an orientation session at the WorkOne office is Fishers, I have met some lovely people there. One woman that I met and I meet weekly to discuss our progress in the job hunt, discuss the barriers, and Zombies we have come across in our travels. It is welcoming to be able to vent and share without prejudice.
You may have noticed the bold, italicized and underlined words in the post today. They are all Halloween wines. I recommend going out and trying some different brews; and hang on to the bottles, they make great conversation pieces. I will never forget when my husband bought me the Evil and B*tch wines and put them side by side. Hmm......wonder if that is why I am getting divorced. Happy Halloween!!
