A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks. Happy to see we are in the last week of February.
On Saturday February 15th, my mom and I made a homemade sauce. My Aunt Bug’s recipe. She makes a delicious meat sauce and a very good baked ziti. We tried to make it, but it was too thick. Aunt Bug gave us some tips of how to make it less thick. Mom and I plan to attempt it again. In hopes it will taste better.
That same evening, my childhood army bestie, texted me saying that she loved her birthday card and her gift. I got her a T-shirt that said “My Best Friend bought me this shirt.”
On Monday February 17th, since it was Presidents Day, my friend Abby had the day off from work. So I accepted the invitation to go to her house and bake. We made homemade soft pretzels and Funfetti Strawberry flavored brownie shaped cake with vanilla, green colored frosting. The time we get to spend together is always great.
*I’ve been unemployed since October 2019. My job coach has been looking for jobs that would be the perfect fit for me and an easy commute. She found this bakery named Colsons which was in a business community area of Brooklyn. A much shorter commute from my house compared to my previous job*
On Friday February 21st, I had a tryout at Colsons. The chief executive gave me and my job coach a tour of the bakery. She introduced me to the Scones Group. The ones in charge of making the scones. I then had my opportunity to test out of skills by cutting the scones out of the dough, weighing them and placing it on the tray. Afterwards, I met with chief, and she told me that I got the job. I’m officially employed again. Very thankful for everyone who prayed for me and for my job coach who worked hard to find the perfect match.
