Damn Subconscious

Lest you think that I am sitting here basking in the afterglow of vacation bliss, here is the other crap that's going on right now:

1. I got fed up with the complete lack of response from my family regarding finding my Aunt, so I went ahead and sent a message to the contact person from the survivor's group of the institution. He replied while we were in Hawaii with some good information on where to start the process and offered to help the family get her files. I forwarded this information to my family and told them I thought it best someone in Canada take it from here but to keep me in the loop. As of this minute, complete and utter silence in response.

2. I had a job interview last week. Once again, I got an email while in Hawaii about a position at yet another company that I've been trying to get into forever. The interview went very well; if they decide to fill the position with a senior person (as opposed to a more junior person they could train), then I suspect that I will be the front-runner. I believe this would be a good change for me, but I hate change. So, naturally I am already freaking out about something that may or not happen and won't be resolved for at least a month.

3. I am having dental nightmares, literally. I wake up in a panic believing I am sitting in the chair, smelling that mix of sterility and metal that only exists in their offices. I called my dental insurance this morning and they told me I would have to get a new pre-authorization for the silver crowns I need replaced if I want it done by a different dentist, and that takes about 30 days. I just can't go back to the office I went to before, I don't trust them after what happened. I've decided to try out my husband's dentist (a woman), and I need to call her to make a consultation appointment to get the ball rolling. Just thinking about calling makes me want to throw up.

4. I'm still peeling like a snake and my left big toe is the color of eggplant. Nice.

And how is your week going?
