Ice Cream

It's a certain sign of spring when new ice cream flavors hit the stores. It's my holy duty to sacrifice myself in spite of being slightly lactose intolerant and to test taste them.

Today I ate an ice cream with cacti flavored topping on pear ice cream and salty fudge suprise inside.

The topping was awful. Salty fudge was on the border of being bad tasting.

Who invented this? Where did you pick up your test audien from? Mexican chili restaurant? Please, dear who-ever-you-are, it's time to do somethig to your peyote addiction.

Procrastination

Long time no see,  eh?

In February this year I had to choose into which school Kid would apply. Preschool's almost over and it's a real thing next autumn. In the end I chose the school where almost the whole preschool group goes. There is a school nearer us which caused the dilemma. I thought familiar people may help in creating the feeling of belonging. Which helps the kids to avoid all kind of troubles in later years.

All this isn't the point here. After all the pondering I realised that Kid turns seven this year! And that made me realise I've been unemployd _also_ seven years. Well,  there was that three months at the bookstore few years back but... Anyways. It's time to do something. If not working then why not back to school!

I spent many hours at the internet searching different professions and what they really are like. I wrote down what I have liked about my jobs. I mean when you go down to it. Being a librarian wasn't just about the books. I love books but I also like servicing customers. Same as in the bookstore.  Also organising and doing very precise work gives me satisfaction.

And I found it. Dental nurse. Also,  very important thing,  it's an industry where there's a lack of employees. No sense to graduate after few years of hard studying and go back to being unemployd.

I was very smug about my decision. I could already imagine myself at school and the image seemed so awesome. And the weeks went by.

In the end I did apply for the school. Only I did it so late that there's no chance to start it next autumn as I had hoped. Nope. They'll invite people to be interviewed next October and the school starts next spring. If I get in. And I can blame only myself.
