Well, this is interesting. I check Maliheh’s profile out every now and then to see if anything’s changed, and she’s now showing our mutual friends (I didn’t even know we had any, though we do have one), and her photos. But the one showing her face isn’t there.

The question is, does she realize these things are visible or is it a glitch on Facebook’s part? If it was her that set them to be visible, is she slowly “opening up” to me? It will be interesting to see if there’s any kind of reaction on her part when I finish her story, though I’m not counting on it.

I’m afraid to get my hopes up, but nonetheless, I wonder if this could be a turning point in our lives. As I’ve learned – expect the best and you’ll be more disappointed if things don’t go your way. Expect the worst and you’ll be all the more delighted if they do go your way. But Tom thinks that if the company that interviewed him yesterday gets the contract they’re after, they will hire him. I guess they repair broken electronic parts like cell phones. They were actually interviewing tons of people every 15 minutes. The only problem is that it could very well be just a one-month assignment if he does get the job. It’s better than nothing, but we need something permanent and some real security, goddamnit! Why are the basic, simple everyday things so out of reach for us and so damn much to ask for??? All we can do is hope they hire him and that it leads to something permanent, but this is rather unlikely. Either way, they said they’d call today or tomorrow if they want him.

We’re scrambling to save all we can to buy us extra time because if we don’t beat the clock, and if they do add more unemployment extensions, I know they’re going to wait until after this one runs out. They already said that if they do anything it won’t be until November. Like I said before, I’m so sick of being teased about our survival and struggling like we have that I don’t care anymore if we don’t make it. Don’t care if we do either.

In other good news, they paid me for the work that was auto-rejected, and they even restored my approval rate back to the 99.4% it was, so that’s nice.

Jesse was all excited to get his money, Tom told me after he called to let him know it was in the box, and he’s coming down today to “ditch” the cooler. That way the main well pump doesn’t have to work so hard with it hooked up to the shallow well.

So I will get to see the dogs I love as much as I hate. I especially love Whiskey and I hate him more than Brandy too, LOL. He barks way more than Brandy. But I love how they run up to me for hugs.

Once again, even though it’s summer, we had some spring-like weather. It got chilly in here in the early mornings two days in a row. I worry that while everywhere else is warming up, this area is going to cool down. I hope not!

Later…

Maliheh just checked out my blog again, LOL! Once again...is she curious about me? The story? Or does she just want to get me?
