Well it's official. We are in the hole financially.
I'm also still sick of applying for jobs and not hearing back from anyone.
However, I did check up on one application today, and it went really well. I'm hoping the hiring manager will remember my name (he seemed impressed when we spoke), so prayers and good energy that way, please.
I'm just so scared of going into debt until I get a better job, and I'm so tired of feeling guilty for grabbing a soda or hamburger when I'm out running errands. Food isn't absent in the pantry yet, but it's becoming limited to make-ahead items (dry foods, ingredients, nothing really grab-and-go).
In fact, while at a seminar last weekend, I took a LOT of food that some members had brought as snacks and breakfast for everyone that didn't get eaten. Like, half a dozen apples, a bottle of orange juice, four boxes of granola bars, two packages of tortillas, cookies... all so there would be something quick to eat at home. It felt like college again.
On the bright side, I am meeting more people through the restaurant. One group of customers said they're praying for the right job to come through for me. Another, the one who works for a local college, actually told me he's been looking for openings. It's kind of nice to have some people on my side.
And now it's nearly 4 p.m., and I have to get ready for the dinner shift. Here's hoping for good tips (so I can buy groceries and maybe pay all my bills).
