Summer is almost over here in Minnesota. Our State Fair started today. In two weeks kids will be back at school. Some have already started. Our temperatures weren't very warm this summer though that is fine for me and my horse.
I left my front desk receptionist job in June and filled in the days with working at Target. Ouch, my body at my age can't take this anymore. I have applied to many places and have only had interviews for five. That is about a 3% of all the places I have applied to. I just don't get it. This job market sucks. My son can't get a job using his Creative Writing major either. He has applied for content writer, copy writer and anything where they want that degree. Everyone wants a lot of experience. How do you get that?
The positive to this summer is that my horse's tendon injury is 80% healed after only six months and two shock wave therapies. This horse will never be able to compete again and maybe never ridden at a canter. But, she can be ridden and seems to be pain free. Now it is just a matter of when she will tear it again and have to be put down.
My youngest has finished her internship and starts her last year of college. She has a part-time job for during school year and then a full time job when she graduates.
We are expecting our first grandchild the beginning of next month, September. I don't feel like I am old enough to be one but my oldest is old enough to have a child. It will be fun but won't see the grandchild much as I will be working still. Not old enought to retire yet.
Hopefully the next time I get on my blog I will have a Monday thru Friday job, my son will have something and I will have a granddaughter.
