a day in the life . . .

**being sick sucks.**

i have had some sort of stomach flu for the past two days. it started sunday evening and i am still feeling it today. i am very bored since i can't be away from a toilet for more than 10 minutes at a time. i have been mostly laying around the house and **doing a whole lot of nothing.** i managed to water the back lawn today and i'm going to venture into the kitchen to make chili in a minute, if i have all the ingredients. if not, my beau will just have to have turkey salad or something for dinner. i feel like i should have dinner on the table since he is at work everyday.

and speaking of work . . . he is thoroughly enjoying his new job. he says that the people are all very nice and that they have all the cokes someone could want to drink **for free.** he assures me, however, that he is not drinking any of them. we are supposed to be eating very healthy and not having coke **although i admit i've had a lot of sprite over the last couple of days due to my illness** and going to the gym. so far, i've accomplished a bit of the healthy eating. but i guess that is veering off subject. so back to his job. so his supervisor (also the guy who hired him) told him that one of the girls they have working in kuwait is prolly going to be quitting in the next week or so. she is in kuwait right now and is miserable. she is due home for her r&r next week and he doesn't believe she will be back.

**enter my resume**

my beau's supervisor told him that i am the top candidate being considered for her position, should she quit. he had already looked over my resume and apparently everyone there is pretty impressed with my "skills" and computer knowledge. i am hoping that she quits, as horrible as that sounds. i am looking forward to going back to work and the money to be made in kuwait is just ridiculous. so everyone cross your fingers and hope that i get that job!

i guess it's time for me to throw something together for dinner. if it's chili, it will take a couple of hours to cook. i still don't know if i have everything, but if i don't, maybe i can convince my mama or heather to run to the store for me. **heaven knows i hate using public restrooms.**
