Please, one more swift kick in the arse while I'm down.

Debbie Downer, Negative Nancy, Bitter Betty... I don't care, call me what you want.  

So, after two back-to-back precepting shifts, I came home last night to another politely worded yet still asinine rejection letter in my email junk folder, which in hindsight is the perfect place for that letter.  The best part is, it was for a position for which I was told about a week ago that I would be contacted for an interview.  I've been contacted alright- for an interview with REJECTION!!!!

This morning, I was supposed to surf, for the first time in about 4 months with a friend.  South wind by 8am.  South winds do amazing things to the ocean, none of which are good in Orange County.  So we sat at her house and ate breakfast instead.  So much for upping the physical activity once done with nursing school.

But, and this is the kicker, before heading off to not surf, I went out into my garden.  The !@#$%!$ snails and slugs returned last night to their all-you-can-eat buffet which also happens to be my vegetable garden.  Five new lettuce plants- gone.  ONE HALF of my red bell pepper plant- gone.  I've got so much Corry's Slug & Snail Death in and around my backyard right now I'm practically a toxic waste dump.  I hate snails and slugs so much, that I go out of my way while running to kill any that I come across.  Hate them all.  What a ridiculous, ridiculous waste of DNA, cellular energy and slime.  

It's only noon, plenty of time for more disappointment...
