The Waiting Game
The title says it all, it is a waiting game that I’m playing with Toyota.
Hopefully, it will be a fun game and not a game that turns out to be like all the rest.
They ordered a background check on me, I guess that is a good sign. The company was supposed to have it completed by Thursday or so last week, but – joy of joys.. they had problems with getting ahold of people at past places I’ve worked or gone to school. Due to this, they weren’t able to complete everything until yesterday at 5:25pm (or so the rep told me when I called asking for a status update to confirm everything was completed).
So now, I’m guessing that I won’t hear back until… what Friday? It was originally last Friday, but hey- lets push it out another week just for fun.
Sounds like a plan.
What else? I have started setting up a new website. It will be up and running for a short time.
I’m sure you can figure out what the content will have – etc if you go to the site.
Question for you, as a general reader. When you see couples – do they flirt with each other? This can be any range of couples. From married couples who have been together their whole life, to newly weds.. or even just domestic partners. The parameters are wide open. The question is more about if they flirt, or not. And if you know that they flirt, is your impression that they have a healthy relationship?
This doesn’t stem from anything too important. I was thinking tonight about Sky and myself and how we really don’t flirt much. I am curious to see others views on it, or thoughts in general. I know that every relationship is different – just looking at things from a different perspective than from my own.
So, other than that?
I’ve been under the weather lately. It really showed up when I was visiting JJ’s mom in the hospital (she had a heart attack & has since been released from the hospital, but please keep her in your prayers). I was in the room hearing about how she flatlined and how they had to use the paddles to bring her back to life. I started to feel like I couldn’t breathe.
Weird. I thought maybe my legs were locked from standing without moving. I bent my legs and walked in a little circle. I started to feel thirsty. More-so as time goes on. Almost feel like I have cotton-mouth. Ugh. I thought to myself that water would be a good option. After excusing myself from the room I walked down the halls of the hospital looking for a drinking fountain. I started to feel weak and dizzy.
Immediately I started to think about my interview at Liberty Mutual. My body had that same feel. What am I talking about? (read it here)
Sweats broke out across my body and I could see my vision starting to get blurry, then a little dark. I looked for a place to sit and found a couch next to a family who was visiting someone in the hospital. I’m not sure what they thought. It must have looked bad when I collapsed on that couch, a sweaty mess. I then felt like death warmed over. I wanted to lay on the ground and let the world spin around me. I thought better of this being in a hospital. I could see it. I would end up being admitted to the hospital – no insurance and no job. No thanks… I can’t afford that bill anytime soon. I stepped into a family restroom which was only a step or two away. Then I was able to really crash locking the door. The funny thing is.. I kept thinking that this would make a good episode on Greys Anatomy. ha!
I sat in the bathroom for a little while and let my shirt dry off and let the blood come back to my face. I was on the brink of losing it – and it felt like I would faint any moment. I texted my parents and asked if they could come get me and drive the car back. It wasn’t good.
About 10 or 15 minutes later I was probably good enough to drive home, but I decided to play it safe. Afterall – no harm, no foul. I returned to the room and let Sky know what took place. She looked worried, bless her. I then let everyone know that I had to leave to take care of something with Willie. Yeah, a lie. Why? The main reason was: JJ’s mom had just went through surgery and shouldn’t be around someone who was … well feeling like I felt and so instead I apologized and let them know that we had to leave.
The next day was spent in bed.
Yesterday I felt much better. Today even more-so. I am betting that it was the cold… or something. Either way, I’m feeling better now… so no big deal.
I leave with some lyrics that happened to be playing a few minutes ago while typing this post. I do like the song it is from.
“If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight’s the night – For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide – In a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight – When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea – To a city with one king
A city on our knees”
I can only imagine.
just Pray
