I’m Back…

Sorry for the lack of posting. I’ve been really sick with a sinus infection and I am on vacation this week. A lot has happened recently. For one, the interview went well and I am waiting to see if I get a call back interview. The HR representative spoke with the hiring manager and he was impressed with my interview so my fingers are crossed that I will land in the second round.

I went to the doctor today because my throat has been sore for 8 days now despite the antibiotics. Of course since I was going to the doctor, I automatically started feeling better (why does that happen?). One thing that wasn’t better is that my chest was still very congested and I would get winded very easily so she prescribed a different inhaler for my asthma so that my chest can clear up. Hopefully, I will be in tip top shape by next week.

I got into a car accident this morning on the way to the doctor. I was on the expressway (Chicago’s famous Dan Ryan) and a car in front of me thought he could cut into the next lane but couldn’t. So, he played car hopscotch and jumped right back into my lane and when I slowed down, the guy behind me rear-ended my car. I had to wait for the state police but despite the large impact, the damage is minimal.

On Saturday, my car started making the worst grinding noise and I knew something was wrong with the brakes. I was right. On Monday, I took my car in and I needed new brakes. That was $280.00

So, my luck hasn’t been so good lately in the financial arena and I am financing everything with my credit card which will have to be repaid with my tax return. I am looking to file my taxes by the end of next week. With everything that has happened to me in the last few months, I am trying to keep a smile on my face, think optimistically and believe that good things to come are right around the corner.
