Eclipse Update 4-2-2016

Hello everyone and Bright blessings. How has everyone been doing since I was here last? I have to say that events have been up and down and inside out this past week. First I went to that meeting with the Avon client I mentioned, and she never showed up, after I had spent all morning getting ready and I almost didn't even get get a ride there to meet her, she bailed and never has called me back. Being let down and disappointed in front of my District Manager, who was good enough to come and get me,was extremely embarrassing and awkward.That event seemed to set off a avalanche of ill luck... most of customers have not placed orders, the newer customer leads don't answer the phone, a couple of days ago I am 100% positive that I was lost a customer, because of someone else running their mouth about what kind of person I supposedly am, and I all but caught them in the act, even though I didn't hear the words, well I had a strong suspicion that I was the subject of conversation if body language and general gut feelings were correct. You know how that is, you walk past someone and you just KNOW they were just talking about you? I do not appreciate the other person sabotaging my business or trying to undermine my reputation that way because they cant take "NO" for an answer and they decide to be a spiteful person and retaliate in such a immature and childish way just because they didn't get what they wanted from me.. I felt it was rather obvious about why it was that my customer decided to suddenly not place a order the next day when I called her. Just today I discovered my bank account is overdrawn by nearly $50.00 because of a bill that was automatically paid. so the customers that have placed orders have to wait until they can pay me, so I can put money in the bank, and pay for their orders. Nope this has not been my week. A uncrossing and road opening spell sounds like a very good idea right now!
There' a bright spot in my troubles, I have payments coming in for previous orders very soon, so that might salvage my recent bout of seemingly bad luck. I have finally as of today, gotten all of my exams done and I can finally receive my Natural Health Consultation certificate. I currently have a 96% grade average which qualifies me to receive a Highest Honors certificate. On Friday April 1st I had a job interview in Jefferson City. and if I am really lucky I will have a new job soon, when I called the place they asked me for a interview right then, so I went over here, filed out my application, and answered a few questions, and the lady at the staffing office told me to come back on Monday to do further testing and then I guess we will see what happens.
Yesterday I took in a stray orange, grey mixed tabby and white calico female cat, she's about a year old if I were to guess, she's not very big , a bit on the skinny side, but that might be because she hasn't seen a dish of real food in days, she is litter trained and has fantastic manners, so someone has either set her out or she is someone's once loved kitten that no one wants. According to one of my neighbors she has been  hanging around for about three days before I found her, It's a possibility she belongs to one of the neighbors but no one has yet reported her missing, so for now she is with me, getting good food, love, and a taste of life with a witch. She had been fighting with something,with missing patches of fur and some older wounds that are healed over and fur growing back over them. My guess is that she has been a stray longer than a week , even maybe a month. I am also hoping she is not actually pregnant, as the recent signs of heat were probably why she has been out wandering or cast out of her house. while I would personally love to see cute bundles of fluffy joy, my housing manager would not be too keen on that idea. My other male cat Smoky, has taken to hiding in my son's room, he's very skittish of her and hisses and yowls at the sight of her. I thought surely he would be a aggressive bullying ass and go on the warpath but oddly he has become the extreme opposite when faced with a female that isn't even half his size. so I guess until he gets over his bruised ego and stops acting like a nervous wreck he will be camping out in my son's room with a separate bowl of food and continue to hide and sulk. He is neutered so he is not going to be a father anytime soon. One growl and a hard stare from his new housemate has him running back through the house upset, it's somewhat comical but I still have to go baby the poor boy, he's always been the spoiled one and he's never seen or been around another cat before. He doesn't understand how and why something that ain't even half his weight and size is still tougher than him, and just comes in his house and acts like she has always been living here. I just hope he will adjust soon, and at least try to accept her, if not I will have to find her another home, which pains me to think about because Adam has already gave her a name which is "Sugar Momma".
Sugar Momma, which suits her sweet personality, is currently laying under my feet as I type this,  is quite content, full of milk and Meow Mix, and has had more attention than probably her whole life thus far, pet her and she warms up and soaks it up like a needy sponge. I have to wonder who once had her, and how she came to be with me, but I am glad that she is here, for in a wandering stray, I see something of myself  in her. For once upon a time I was a wandering stray too, with no home, cast away from everything that I knew was my life, going through  major life crises, and fighting for everything I had left. Unlike me, she gets a chance for someone to take her in, love her for what she is, with all of her beat up scars and skinniness and everything else, feed her, and provide her some measure of comfort and stability, in a world where people are just as soon to kick you out like you are nothing and no one, and let you starve, and tell you to survive on your own however which way you can. If by chance she happens to be pregnant, well all the more reasons to give her what she needs now. How many of us mothers have also been in her place? Sadly and too often that has also been too many of us. It might be just as well she is here, if the humans that had her before really don't want her or she has been a stray for months, well now she has her chance to have what she deserves. Life with a witch is a blessed life. So mote it be.
