Interviews: 2 Me: 0

Yesterday, I found out the I did not get the mental health board job. I know it is only two interviews but it is a little frustrating. I'm trying to keep my job hunt low-key and kind of hidden from my co-workers and current employer. I have to come up with all kinds of excuses for why I am leaving in the middle of the day. I'm just a little frustrated because while I am hunting so hard, Robert gets phone calls on a weekly basis from various companies - and he can pretty much name his wage. I know it's not his fault - it's just the career path he has chosen and the fact that he doesn't drink or do drugs on the job. Anyway, I know something will come my way. At least I can take comfort in the fact that I have a job that has full benefits, a pension and it pays the bills.

Today, I go for dental cleaning - part deux! About a month ago, I went for a cleaning and checkup for the first time in about three years. Woops!! While I didn't have any cavities or anything - I was informed that I would need to do the cleaning over a course of two appointments so that my gums don't get too sore. For the past week, I've had to do a special oral rinse in preparation for this appointment. The rinse is meant for people with gingivitis. I was just using it on a temporary basis so my gums aren't too inflamed when they do the cleaning. The rinse is pretty gross and for about an hour after I have done the rinse, food has a weird taste. Hopefully, I do not have to continue using it after today's appointment.

I have updated the links in my blog to include my cousin Claire's blog. She just left on Monday for a year long Rotary Youth Exchange. She will be spending a year in Sweden. Claire is a bright young woman and I think this will be a great experience for her.

I will sign off now, but in keeping with today's theme -
