Today I decide to be wealthy.
The diamond in my wedding ring is gone, apparently fallen out when a bracket broke. I knew it need repairs years ago, and I was working in a store where there was a jewelry repair artist, too. Just didn't do it--the ring was stuck on my finger, so I just didn't make the time to get it off and get it fixed. So tomorrow I'm going to sift through garbage to look for it, as my husband and I were up until 1 a.m. sweeping, vacuuming and peering around for it. My husband even took off the traps of the kitchen and bathroom sinks and checked the pipes, cleaning them with old toothbrushes.
It isn't a child, or a pet or anything. It was a very flawed .58 carat diamond that was very fiery. And now it's like looking for a child's lost--every little sparkle on the floor must be checked, the laundry carefully fingered before washing, the garbage carefully sifted. And the empty ring is still on my finger, the prongs catching on everything, the skeleton left behind.
I had my interview with Touchmark for housekeeping. The seamstress retired last month--alterations brought in $600 in that month. They said that they couldn't find my application, so I sat down to try to fill one from memory, and then they found it. Angie (from Fred Meyer) is working there, and told them to hire me, that I'm good. And it does have benefits, and they said that if I'm hired, I would be able to go to Sacrament Meetings on Sunday.
I need to finish the library application and get it in tomorrow. Deadline is the day after tomorrow.
I'm eating too much crap again, and not exercising, period.
I visited Connie afterwards, a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, and then I went over to another place and visited Alan and Peggy for a brief time. Alan has been ill for a long time, but they both seemed to be happy for the company.
So now I'm off to bed. I have a dental appointment in the afternoon.
Today I decide to be wealthy.
