dmxratedTwo nights ago, Mom got up in the middle of the night. Given how it's still dark when she normally wakes up to go to work, I wished her a good morning still in bed myself, and asked her to turn my fan on. She told me it was only 10:30, but did turn the fan on.

Last Wednesday, I got a text message from Black Pearl at Smithhaven Mall, asking me to schedule an interview for the same day, that would have involved an actual demonstration of my capabilities instead of a few questions. Mom initially mistook this for some fashion chain for women like Victoria's Secret, but I did clear up what it actually is (somewhere I've already been to twice).
For that day, I already had an interview scheduled at 4, in the opposite direction from our house, and asked if somewhere around 5:30 would be feasible. 4:30 was the latest slot available, but they agreed instead to text me the following Sunday or Monday (yesterday). Wound up arranging a bus for yesterday from there.

Arrived at the mall at 10:15 yesterday.
Ugly Dumpling is still not opening shop for another month.
Ordered this Mexican sandwich called a torta, along with some cream-filled churros topped with chocolate sauce and a cup of horchata, at Los Amigos in the food court.
Texted Black Pearl afterwards, and even though last week's offer was for a same-day interview, I was told here that while someone would text me soon, the interview would not be held for this day.
Soon enough, I did get an offer for Thursday at 12. Texted Mom to ask if that would be feasible, especially with Brian and Emily coming over tomorrow.
Given when Mom gets off from work at 12:30, I looked around at all the different shops with so much time to kill, before grabbing a blonde roast at Starbucks and making my way to Barnes & Noble afterwards.
Picked out volume 2 each of Fed-Up Office Lady and Lying Bride, along with 1 each of Alice in Kyoto Forest, Choking On Love, and Chitose is In the Ramune Bottle.
Mom texted me back to arrange a bus for Thursday, just in case neither she nor Brian is able to drive me. The app instead told me that my rider eligibility expires by that day.
Barely got to read a few pages of Alice before Mom texted me that she was leaving work. Bought only Office Lady and Lying Bride, having only read two chapters so far of Royal Tailor, v. 2, before going to meet her at Dick's Sporting Goods where she had to return something.
Called the SCAT office after having a nap when we got home, and was given the number for the Suffolk County Office for People with Disabilities. I had already gotten an email last week saying that while my renewal application was received, it would take three weeks to actually process. The person who answered me promised me a call for today to sort things out.
