Hi again. Seems like just yesterday!
It’s raining again, and I’m feeling melancholy. I have spent a good part of the morning looking at old photos (I guess because I can’t seem to get facebook to work–what’s wrong with FB today?). Weird how they are old now…these were pix from less than two years ago, but miles and lightyears away from the way things are now. I really need to stop looking back.
I’ve also been looking back at old OD entries some. It’s fun to look back at those, but it’s also kind of strange. I feel like I keep telling the same stories over and over. You know, the dating, the job stuff, etc. I’m so tired of dating… so weary of the RADs… so ready for the next phase. Really. I need to figure out what that next phase is truly going to be.
I think I’ve made one decision anyway. I’m not going to be staying in Kelly’s place. She’s the woman who offered me her house while she goes off to Tahoe to be a ski instructor for the winter. Yes, at first she offered it for free (except for expenses), but then she said she wanted $1100/month, plus expenses. Huh? I’m sorry, but not really the best deal for me at the moment.
So here’s the living situation plan as it stands today. Granted, it’s not much of a plan, but it should help put some fuel onto the fire: I’m going to put all of my stuff in storage and couch-dwell for a while. Mom and Dad told me that it’s cool to stay at their place, W. and T. said I could stay with them as well. I know it’s not the best situation in the world, but it should tide me over until I have the job stuff figured out.
It will suck to say goodbye to this loft, but I’m already feeling like I’m letting go of this place. I want to have a little party just to celebrate the end of this era.
Can you believe it’s the end of a decade? I was telling Best Bud and her hub that I can’t wait for the end of the 00s, but then BB’s hub was all, you have so, so much to be thankful for over the last decade…your health, you look great, you’ve done some amazing things over the last ten years…think of all your travels and all the good times and your friends. You are lucky. You are blessed.
And he’s right. I really am. I have to remember that every single day.
I came home last night knowing that I wanted to stay in and be warm and cozy. And I wanted to make cookies, but I only had so many ingredients in my cupboard. I ended up making some kind of strange cookie concoction with all kinds of substitutes such as whole wheat flour and Splenda. Not so pretty or flavorful, but worked for what I was craving and kind of matched the blandness of this entry.
Can you tell I’m hurting for material? I think it’s about time for something magical to happen. Seriously. I’m ready. Until then, I’ll be around, posting more of this stuff and hopefully remaining thankful.
Love, love and more love!
Wheat, Splenda, and non-fat cream cheese cookies: Ugly, not very tasty, and un-festive. Yes, I’m still going to eat them.
Note to [domino.]: I found the cartoon image from yesterday on a website that I’ve since forgotten. I know it’s not cool to post that without credit, but I’m looking for the guy who created it and I’ll post it as soon as I find it! The rest of the pix this month are photos I’ve taken either with my little trusty Sony or my iPhone.
