My Life as a Mountain Bum-Log 2-- a little midnight magic

My life as an Un-Employed Mountain Bum.

January 7 2016—Log 2

Its 12:35am in Lisaland, I’m brewing tea. Not exactly what I had planned, you see I WAS asleep.

Today I have a second interview with a company that would be a pretty decent opportunity, coupled with my real estate assistant gig, which is turning out to be a great time, with awesome people. This job would provide financial stability and freedom of financial mind.

Now, before you go ahead and jump to conclusions, I’m not nervous. Yes I’ll be going up in front of 3 men for this interview, and yes it does present a great opportunity to settle in, but the reality is either they will hire me or they won’t.  Personally, I’m ok with the outcome either way, I’m treating this whole new life as an organic experience, things will come naturally, or they won’t come at all.

The real reason I am up is snoring on the rug behind me, sprawled out like there was no interruption in their sleep at all. It was a tag team effort really; First Jade was restless, resulting in her draping herself over my bladder. Not a big deal, but after a few minutes I had to get up and relive said bladder. That led to Chelsea (who never jumps out of bed, the princess MUST be carried) Jumping out of bed and following me. I realized to late the ploy of the girls, as I opened my bedroom door they made a beeline for the water dish. Note to self, we MUST start using the humidifier. One drained dish of water later, I find my self-donning my sweats and coat (sans bra, I’m a winter mountain bum.... and I’m loving it)to head outside. Half annoyed with myself for not taking them out one last time before I crawled under the sheets.

I double check to ensure I have my pass key before I leave the front lobby, the reception desk is closed now, and I’m phoneless, which would make for big trouble should I lock myself out.

As I open the door and step out into the refreshing mountain air I realize, it’s snowing, not large flakes, but a nice light snow that sparkles on the ground.

A little, magical snow, in the middle of the night, in my little Mountain town that I would have missed, if it were not for a crazy schnauzer and her need to stretch out across my bladder.
