Day 223: Stringing me along

My alarm clock got me up at 7 am. I decided, screw this, and went back to sleep till about 9 am. Once I was up, I finally set about making rocket sauce again after yesterday's aborted attempt. I made a quick grocery run for one last ingredient, then stopped at Chick-Fil-A for hash browns and a free breakfast sandwich. Back home I realized I'd been wearing my shirt inside out. Oh well. Not like there was anyone to impress at HEB in the middle of the morning.

Was halfway through the rocket sauce when Andrew asked if I could meet him at Costco; he was getting new tires and needed a ride back to work. Complications at Costco ensued that negated his need for a ride, but since I was already there, we went to Fresh Choice for lunch. Despite not being overly hungry, I still managed to wolf down a week's worth of vegetables as usual.

Back home, I finished making and bottling the rocket sauce. Talked to my recruiter; the client hadn't contacted her yet. All they need is for the client's HR people to get one damn signature. This final signature has taken more than a day already. Which means yes, another weekend without being able to say for sure I have a salary, so my spending limits continue for another damn weekend. As a result, I skipped this evening's Guys' Night Out once again. I did allow myself to pick up a sandwich at the Bear Rock Cafe at the edge of my neighborhood, but that was still far cheaper than GNO would've been. I spent the evening editing video for Six Man, Texas.

So, my job situation still hasn't improved, but I'm less stressed about it and everything else. Consequently, today I had the fewest dizzy spells -- practically none, actually -- since this whole lightheaded/headache thing started last week. And no headaches or pressure at all. And I haven't even taken any medicine for it yet. That should prove it's all been stress-related.
