well, that's done

I hate writing cover letters.

I can cope with tailoring the resume--rearrange items here, drop something there (it's a copyeditor/proofreader job, so put "proofreader" in the summary and take out the freelance writing bits), note a skill that I don't normally even think about, sure.

I think my problem with cover letters is it's a weird sort of impersonal boasting. When it's to a blind ad--so I can't even do "Dear Ms/Mr So-and-so" or know anything about the employer--it's worse. Which is why I didn't send it out yesterday.

Well, that plus assorted aches and pains (as detailed yesterday, plus menstrual cramps).

I got it out this morning partly because I want a chance that it will be looked at this week rather than next.

Meanwhile, my hip is sore again, and my poor arthritic old cat has a limp. Grump.

Memo to self: Chocolate does not constitute lunch!

It doesn't? Why not? I was thinking about having chocolate for lunch today.

"Memo to self: Chocolate does not constitute lunch!"

I once put together an entire chocolate menu. Chicken mole was the main course, of course.

The key concept here is part of this balanced breakfast lunch. Cold salmon, maybe some bread from downstairs, and then chocolate constitutes lunch.

AND some rather tasty plums.

Cramps suck.

But chocolate for dessert is always good.

Good luck with the resume!

Well *sometimes* a chocolate lunch might be just the thing one needs to really hit the spot.

Good luck with the job and with a speedy bouncing back from the aches and pains.
