Weekly Update #4

This week's highlights: Tomatoes [of doom], Woodard visit, and temp. job!

Over the weekend, Jenni and a few friends went to gather the fruits of their CSA membership, which this week included tomatoes straight off the plant. That is assuming that you are willing to go pick them yourselves, which we were. We ended up with a third of the pickings which combined totaled literally hundreds of tomatoes. What does one do with that many tomatoes? Make gallons of homemade tomato sauce!
We split it into smaller portions and threw it in the freezer. We thawed some for last night's dinner; it turned out great!


My friend Sam [pictured below] is in town for a week because we couldn't think of a reason for him not to be. We are both unemployed and there were super-cheap airline tickets for no apparent reason. Yay spontaneity! So we've been brainstorming topics ranging from fixing America's education system to how to beat that stupid Wii game. We are still only halfway through his visit so, if we get into any noteworthy trouble it'll be listed here next week.


Lastly, I signed up with a local temp agency that specializes in health care, to aid in my search for work. I have an interview on Monday for a medical secretary position at an old-folks home. We'll see how that goes.


In the interim a took a little answering-phones job for this morning. I was reticent to take it because it wasn't for much money and the work was of a well-trained-monkey difficulty. However, I think this was a wonderfully crazy random happenstance because the organization that I worked at for this morning is in charge of youth activities in the Ithaca area, and I'd love to get back involved with programs similar to those that put on the Jr. Wheelchair Sports Camp that I helped run this summer. The best case scenario would be to see if I could help start a similar camp for the upstate NY area. Who knows?


Opportunities abound!
