So, Aurora is not eating today. She’s not meowing at us, asking for food, or lurking around. She’s just sleeping, occasionally picking her head up for pettings. I’m really worried about her. This is very unlike her. We’re going to have to take her into the vet tomorrow. I really hope she’s ok! I’m concerned …

Brain Going Faster Than I Can Type

Every day without a job is a day of many lessons – learning how to live on meager EDD payments, learning how to save money on food, learning how to save money on bills, learning how far I’m willing to go outside of my box to survive… This past weekend I made some important decisions: …

So, I had my 2nd interview this morning with the most amazing job: Operations Supervisor of a women’s gym 2 blocks away from my apt! They LOVED me! They were going to hire me on the spot… but then, salary discussion. They couldn’t meet my minimum. The most they could offer me was about $12K …

TV for the Unemployed

Categories:

I watch a lot of TV. I don’t have a lot of shows on my schedule, but I leave CNN on almost all day when I am home job hunting. I don’t leave the house much as I can’t afford gas or food out. My issue: commercials… they depress me! I see commercials about investing, …

I made this amazing sandwich tonight! I am super full now too! Most of you know that I don’t eat meat. I also hate onions. I rarely cook with garlic these days due to the overwhelming after-taste. I like my food to be yummy, full of flavor, filling, and contain lots of nutrients. I am …

Over the past year, I have been trying to learn how to cook more vegetarian items. Sadly, I’ve encountered much failure, though I have come up with a few great meals. What I really want to learn is how to cook tempeh, firm tofu, seitan and quinoa without soy sauce or having to pan fry! …
