Could Be The Cold Medicine Speaking.............8/365

I'm feeling better, although had to take a nap this afternoon.  That probably had more to do with being up until 3:00 a.m. than with actually being sick.  Husband has been at the convention all day today.  I've been working for big company and now should be working for little company, but blogging seems more fun. 

I had the phone interview with the company in Summerlin, and I think it went well enough.  I should have learned more about this company as my interviewer asked me that specifically.  It's been a long time since I've interviewed for a job where I didn't already have some sort of "in", so I might have biffed it there by not being better prepared.  I think overall though she was impressed with my off the cuff answers.  I'm pretty quick when I need to be, probably comes from all of my years of sales and having to come up with answers for bosses and customers alike.  Not going to get my hopes up about this job.  Putting eggs in one basket...no counting chickens before they're hatched...that's the old saying.  Sure would love to have holidays and vacation and paid (even partially) healthcare though, so it's hard not to get my hopes up. 

After finishing work for the big company this evening, I laid down on my bed and caught the very end of Forrest Gump.  I never get tired of that film.  As usual, I cried when Jenny died.  Switched over to "Peggy Sue Got Married and cried some more. 

Thinking about my dad for some reason.  Wishing I could go back in time and make him understand how much I loved him.  Lately I've been thinking about how many times he came home from work and I'd be out playing out in the yard.  Did I even say "hi" to him?  Why didn't I run up to him every day, hug him and tell him what a wonderful dad he was? I think I did a better job as an adult, especially the last year of his life, but I'm wondering if it ever is entirely possible to let someone know how much they really mean to you?  More importantly, why does it seem so impossible to not take for granted the people who truly love and cherish me?  Need to work on that in the new year.  Life is just too dang short not to.
