More walking

Made myself walk to the end of the street today after realizing that the walking path I'd been taking recently was in a new direction but probably not that long a walk. Also had a recruiter call today about a position. Hopefully something will come of that, I was down for a couple days after an interview where the feedback from the interviewer to the recruiter and passed on to me was generally the opposite of what I was trying to get across. Sad, as that would have been a good position for me as it would have allowed me to work from home after a while.

Still steadily taking my fluoxetine. I take the Xanax for interviews and that's it. Kind of scared of it because it's potentially addictive.

Got all the work on the house for the city inspection either complete or under contract. Fortunately the more expensive things are under contract and the work can't really be done until springtime, so I don't have to pay for them now as I don't have enough cash in the bank for everything right now. Family has promised to send money if I need it, but I'd rather be working and not have to get money from them.

No news is good news?

One place I interviewed contacted me to say they're no longer going to have the position, so out of luck for me there. That was the place I was late due to traffic, so I didn't have great expectations about it. No news from the other place, still hopeful there. Sent out a bunch of resumes last week and today. Got one call for a three month contract position, but I'll take it if it comes to that.

Still getting out for walks. Weather is starting to turn to fall, getting colder and cloudier. Have to keep it up even if I don't feel like it.

I had been waking up without an alarm between 6:30 to 7am, but today I couldn't get up and finally made myself get up around 8:30.

Did two interviews

I had an interview yesterday, and another one today. I was happy with my performance yesterday, and felt I gave an acceptable interview today. I took xanax before both, which certainly seemed to help. Both would have a final interview if I make it to the next level, which I think will happen for at least the one yesterday. So thinking positive there.

Which is good, because getting all the work done on my house that the city said needed to be done in their inspection report is not cheap. I will need to get more money from my family to cover that if I don't get one of these jobs soon.
