Yes, I will say it. JOB HUNTING SUCKS!

Seriously…

I’ve been looking for a permanent full time job for most of the year. Some days I’ll check job banks or websites over and over just to see if there’s something I want to do.

Yes keyword being want instead of need. I do NEED a job, but I don’t want to do something that I’m going to hate or quit from after a month. And I really don’t want something temporary or short term. Looking for something on going, long term, or permanent.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

Everything I find that doesn’t need 2+ years experience in the industry or requires no experience is on a temporary basis. Makes me cringe every time I  see that word.

I have become really bad at keeping my blogs updated.

To all my readers and visitors, I apologize.

Even though I get on my computer pretty much everyday, I never get the encouragement to blog about anything. My mind is just blank. So I keep prolonging updates.

Then the unthinkable happened…

…I will blog about it on my main blog soon enough.

That single event, flipped my world upside down.

I’ve been trying to keep my head up…but it’s really really hard.

Wohoo!! Finally it’s officially summer even though we’ve been having great weather here. Lots of flowers are blooming, the sun is always out, and it’s just gorgeous enough to lay outside and plant your nose in a good book.

Speaking of books, I might end up rereading Firelight by Sophie Jordan. That’s been my favourite book so far this year. I can’t wait for #2 to come out which is titled Vanish and should be here in September.

I was looking out the window of my parents bedroom when I happened to look to the nightstand on my mother’s side of the bed.

There sat a vase and artificial flowers I gave to my mother one Mother’s Day over 15 years ago.

I was in shock she has kept it throughout all these years! We even moved once during that time frame.

I’m assuming she liked it a lot even though at the time I had nothing but a few dollars which allowed me to purchase the flowers and vase at a dollar store.

I love my mama. I definitely should remind myself to say that to her more often because I don’t do it enough!

Everything in my life seems unimportant right now to what is going on in Japan.

I’ve been glued to my computer and television set watching & reading about the 8.9 Earthquake in Japan that also triggered tsunami warnings for 20 different countries since it was first reported.

The devastation is unthinkable. My heart aches for all those affected by this tragedy. My gut feeling is that it’s not over. I’ve had this feeling since I first saw the impact that the earthquake had earlier in the day. Something bigger is about to happen in that area. I just hope we as humans can overcome this significant change that is upon us.

To show you how serious I am about this gut feeling, just read the messages below that were just posted on BBC News.

• 22:52: The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said the cooling systems of three reactors at second nuclear power plant, Fukushima-Daini, are malfunctioning, according to the Kyodo news agency. The plant is 11km (7 miles) to the south of Fukushima-Daiichi, where the cooling system one of its reactors is not working and pressure is rising.

• 23:10: More from the Tokyo Electric Power Company: It says the ability to control pressure in some of the reactors at Fukushima-Daini has been lost. Pressure is stable inside the reactors, but rising in the containment vessels, a company spokesman says.

What happens when they can’t keep the pressure? Read about it here.

I just hope and pray they get this situation under control before all that radioactive material is released into the environment and makes today an even worse tragedy than it already is.
