Sinus infections are a total b*tch

It's been a while since I have graced this blog with my prescence. There is a reason why. I have been taken over by a demonic sinus infection and been under the influence of antibiotics.
The last time I was this sick was in 2011 when I was coughing up a lung and lost my voice for 3 weeks. I did lose my voice a little bit this time around, but it came back in full force after I began taking antibiotics and Mucinex-DM.

Also, god decided that last week was a good week to have me go on interviews for day jobs. On Thursday, I went on an interview which turned out to be a total bust (it's commission-based and you need to pay in order to become certified in being a sales agent). I only went to the interview because they said they had a sales management position opened (40-hour work week, and benefits). Come to find out, no such position existed.
They did call me back for a second interview, which I thought was pretty funny, given the fact that I was coughing violently in the waiting room.

This week, I have another interview, which I'm reluctant to go on. After being burned from last week's interview, I'm scared to get my hopes up. This interview is for an account management position. Hopefully it won't be a waste of my time and gas money.

You may be wondering why I'm looking for a day job. Well, I need the money. Sure, I do get paid for writing, but I'd like to be making a little more so I can start saving again. Right now, the money I make barely covers bills, gas, and food. Don't worry, even with a 40 hour a week job I plan on meeting all of my writing commitments, including the commitments I have with private clients. I also will have time to shoot the sh*t with everyone on here.

I do have a ton of things to share with you all, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive. I am feeling somewhat better, which is f*cking amazing since I do have that interview this week. Think happy thoughts for me. Hoping it isn't a scam and it is the real deal. This b*tch needs work. LOL!

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
