The interview went pretty well. The tone was ridiculously relaxed. It was in this couple's home. I gave my whole 'tell us a little about yourself' spiel and the rest was more of a conversation than an interview. They didn't ask me any other real interview questions. Within the first five minutes, the man was talking about how they have a 30 day trial period of minimum wage to determine if they want to keep me around and how much pay I will receive. He said 'we will look at what you have done and say well Lucy's got her shit together....' This guy was hilarious. The only thing I am worried about is that through a lot of the interview, the couple were kind of talking back and forth about what my duties would be and I was pretty quiet. They didn't leave much opportunity for me to say anything. & like I said, I am bad with this sort of thing. Anxiety!
They will call on Friday to tell me whether or not I will get a second interview to evaluate my skills. I think I will at least get a second one. Everything with them sounds great except the number of hours. They said 25-30 in the beginning. So I would either have to be exceptional and show them they need me more, or find a second small job.
Time to ChaCha it up and make a little Christmas dough.

Almost passed out again tofday.
It's not my sugar levels because I had just eaten. So it has to be my blood pressure, right?.
The fact that it has been higher than my normal (usually it is 115/60, it has been up to 130/70) makes me wonder whether it just dropped too quickly or it skyrocketed. I felt so weak, dizzy, unbalanced, there were stars in my eyes and I just felt really really ill. So I just sat down and I started to feel better, after a few minutes.
I wasn't standing for very long (not half as long as that time when I was waiting for the bus) I am a bit scared of going out alone now, just in case sitting down isn't an option and I drop. Scott has 2 days off starting tomorrow, so at least he can look after me then.
My next appointment is with my midwife in four and a bit weeks, on November 13th. But I don't think I can really wait till then, to find out what causes it. At least maybe I might be able to prevent it happening.

Have you ever noticed that the most successful people are also the ones who have the most successful relationships? Sure, there is a period when they are “young” and on the “come up” that they may go through a divorce or break up or two or three or four, but after they become “settled” in to their new found wealth, self-made people try to find someone to share it with. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise, they usually find it. Look at Jay-Z and Beyonce they been going out for the last 5 years or something, all after Jigga finished big pimpin’. But does the reverse hold true as well that unsuccessful people have unsuccessful relationships?
Now success has many different definitions, but I think the best definition of success is someone who makes a living doing something they really enjoy. They don’t have to be getting paid millions, but just the simple fact they enjoy what they are doing and making a living from it constitutes a success to me. Now under this definition of success, unsuccessful people have unsuccessful relationships and here’s why.
I have two friends who were recently dumped by their girlfriends who they had been seeing for over two years. After the break up, they came crying to me, since I’m an apparently an expert in these matters, begging me to explain “why did she dump me?”. This is when I would say, “I don’t know, you tell me?”. To my surprise, both my friends admitted they had cheated on their girlfriends, but their girlfriends didn’t know, hmmm interesting. Aside from that they also told me they argued every day and that they were very possessive of their girlfriends, (i.e. they wouldn’t let them go to clubs with their friends or talk to any of their guy friends).
I was shocked, I thought my friends were modern dudes, who weren’t caught up in being lame jealous macho pigs. I mean, if you are arguing everyday with your girlfriend, you either need to work it out asap or bounce, who wants to live a life arguing every day? Anyway, the discussion was enlightening because it showed me that people really know their faults, but only care to address them when their faults affect THEIR life. Clearly being overly possessive of your girlfriend was affecting her life, clearly the bad karma you created by cheating affected her life, clearly you were a “bad” boyfriend and that is the reason you got dumped. Okay so we have established the unsuccessful relationships, but do we have here unsuccessful people?
Both my friends are having a “tough time” in their careers, one is unemployed and the other just got suspended from work for doing some “illegal” things. There girlfriends, on the other hand, are doing well for themselves and seem generally content with their jobs. I would consider them successful under the above definition. Now this is something I have always known for a long time and have seen with my own eyes, whenever one partner becomes successful (usually the women), the man (whose usually a broke dumb ass to begin with) totally screws up their relationship as my friends above did.
My most famous example of this is whenever a girl goes to medical school and her boyfriend is usually unemployed hustling, I can always guarantee that she will leave that fool, likely for another doctor. I believe this is not only because the girl sees her boyfriend as a failure like most would agree, but because the boyfriend himself deems himself a failure and begins to neglect the relationship causing for it to fall apart. Let me elaborate on this part.
You see when you cheat on your girlfriend. What does that say about you? You don’t give a F. Now it’s obvious you don’t care about your girl, but isn’t also true that you don’t care about yourself? This is because you are neglecting to think about your long term happiness in comparison to the short term fling. I know you may even believe you will end up with your jump-off aka the girl your cheating with, but how many people end up with the person they were cheating with? Come on, if you cheated on her, your going to get cheated on by her, or cheat on her with a next chicken head. But the point is, you don’t believe you deserve having long term happiness, because you continually sabotage your relationships.
Think about the long term my friend, that short term one night fling is not going to make you happy in the long run. In the song “Money, Power,Respect”, Sheek Louch said “Plan for the future, because your going to be older longer than your going to be younger”. Think about that? Your only going to be “young” for maybe 20 years. Since the average life expectancy is 80, your going to be “old” for 60 years! No one wants to be the “old guy” in the club and this is the reason why.
Make yourself a success and find someone who is successful and watch how dramatically your life changes for the better.

Today I want to get yall fools opinion on mate selection, particularly on the question of whether to wife a trophy chick or a good chick. The question breaks down into do you want a women that looks good or a women that is good for you?
Now all men, no matter how good your relationship with your girlfriend or wifey is, are tempted by the trophy chick. I would even say, the majority of guys would cheat on their wifey for their dream trophy chick. I know if Ester Baxter was hollarin’ for a one night stand, I would suspend my relationship coverage with my girl for an hour or two (hopefully she doesn’t read this and if she does that was just a lie). I, however, wouldn’t wife Ester Baxter as I do not know if she would be a good match for me, though I’m sure she would make a fine wifey (I hope Ester’s reading this). Simply put, the trophy chick is what we all aspire to have on a purely sexual attraction basis. It is nothing more than a physical thing and is as if our penis had full reign of our decision making process -which is similar to how we acted during puberty.
Now the good chick, on the other hand, is someone who you are still physically attracted too, but not as much as the trophy chick. The good chick, however, has additional qualities that the trophy chick does not have. These qualities can include things like good personality, someone you get along with, intelligence, would make for a good mother, a good wife, a good cook, whatever. Just know they cannot be your dream girl on a purely physical basis, because the overwhelming majority of dudes can’t bag a trophy chick (Damn that Jay-Z for that Beyonce pull -though I have suspicion Beyonce is a friggen weirdo). Now having a choice between these two types, which one would you choose?
I personally, would choose, the good chick. Not only because I have a good chick now, but because like I said in my previous post about successful relationships that having a good women in your life will lead to you becoming successful in all other parts of your life. You see something strange happens when you have the right chick in your life, I hate to say this, but you have something to live for in a sense. I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying, “behind every strong man, is an even stronger women” (is that how it goes?). The gist of this axiom is that men really live for women and that they ultimately inspire us to achieve greatness.
