Let the pets out this morning into the backyard. Had to chase Goldie the cat inside when I saw her panting under a bush. It's warm out here, baby. A/C running. Had to go sign the title for my roommate's car and then grocery shopped. We needed pet food and toilet paper.

2 Job Interviews set
I think I stepped into the twilight zone. Got a call to set up an interview for a part-time secretary. Set up for Thursday. Then got a call to chat with an HR person who emailed an office test and then called for a brief phone interview. They are sending my info to the hiring manager for the office manager position. Hopefully, I don't get either one to interrupt my Pilates Instructor plans. But until unemployment runs out at the end of the month, I have to keep applying for jobs. Got called to set up the 2nd interview for tomorrow. PS. Both interviews went well. PSS. Received rejection from Secretary job employer. Oh well.

Happy Easter
Got up early for church and then went home. Took photos of Rufus in a bunny costume. Gave the cats and dogs their Easter basket of toys and treats. Cooked ham for the roommates. Relaxed most of the afternoon watching a channel's Easter specials about the 1st Easter. Went over to brother's house for dinner and came home in the dark after a good visit with family.

Roommate's car, sitting at a gas station, suddenly won't start. Tried jumping it with my car, still won't start. Don't know if the starter is not working when the dashboard lights are on. Battery and check engine lights stay on. I don't get it when the mechanic did a diagnostic of the car yesterday when the car wasn't shifting, and the check engine light was on. We got the car back 3 hours and now won't start. PS. They removed the starter to get to the broken cord for the gear shifter and failed to correctly hook it back so I wire burned out stopping the starter from working. And I get pay for their labor fixing their mistake. Roommate gave me such a hard time about it saying the mistake repair should be free. Tell the mechanic that. If he wants to go to another mechanic then he can be my guest, I doubt any of them will be different. That is how the world works. What do he expect me to do? Mechanic fixed my car, again. Yes, I am angry about it, but not have much power to change it. I don't know how to fix cars.

Interesting Day
Well, my day got interesting. roommate's car stopped for a train, and when he tried to shift back to drive, the gear got stuck in Park. I had him call the roadside assistance number to tow the car to my mechanic (yes, my car insurance covers roadside assistance instead of getting AAA). I went to pick them up. Got the call from the mechanic, and a damaged part was recalled. No refunds when a mechanic changes it. What are we supposed to do, tow it to a dealership? And what about the check engine light about oil pressure sensor? Roommate informs me that his new pizza delivery job is waiting for a background check and has not gotten back to him. They said he was hired, and then there was no call on when to start. He gave up his other job because they said he was hired. Now he is applying to be a tow truck driver. Well, he hasn't saved up enough to pay for repairs, so I have to pay. I told him that used cars break down. He got mad when he drove home from the car lot and by the time he reached my house that the check engine light came on. That's life.

I don't believe this
I don't believe this. My eBook was rejected again for Global Distribution because the author's name is not on the cover. Last time, the problem was that the NGX Table of Contents was set up incorrectly. Seriously, the cover is an image, a photo. Had to situate the cover picture, book title, and author name on a Word document and snip it to get a PNG photo file because I can't download a Word document for the cover. Then it was the wrong size to download to the website, so I had to change the size to be accepted. I hope this version is satisfactory. The eBook is for sale on freaking Amazon.
