Floating Thoughts
Lately the weather has been rainy and grey, which makes me not want to do anything. At the moment I need to do my laundry and go grocery shopping but instead I sat in a cafe and finished reading The Ragwitch by Garth Nix. I've realized that I've given myself permission for at least the month of May to not do too much. Job things are moving, school stuff is happening, tracks are laid for progress and having time to be is rare and wonderful after the incredibly busy two years that I've had.
As inspired by spooky_lemur I have a list of things to do Monday to Monday that has been going wonderfully well. Not buying dessert with lunch and various things has saved me money and made me feel lighter. Also having a set amount of time to walk makes me realize just how much I do walk as by Wednesday, I'd done three and a half hours of walking.
The past few days have been full of connecting with people, which is one of my favorite things. This weekend I had a wonderful quick visit with one of my brothers, which prompted me to clean my apartment. I love my brother and we had such fun talking about what's happening next and I need to find a time in the not too distant future to visit him in France.
Then on Tuesday, I saw Thor for a second time with a good friend from SI and we talked about searching for jobs. It was nice to hear that someone else has the same way of doing things I do, which is don't just apply for everything but instead the ones you really want. As your interest comes through in terms of writing cover letters, I'm getting near the stage of applying for jobs, which scares me. Though I know that there is something out there for me and wherever I go, I'll make my way.
In terms of bumpy things, I have a paper I need to write for Monday that will require hanging out at the library probably tomorrow. Its a compare and contrast book report paper that's not too long, so I think if I just set myself down in the library and do it, it will be done.
Oh and it turns out that somehow one of my debit cards' numbers was stolen, luckily its the one based out of Delaware, so I don't use it that much and not having it for a bit isn't a great loss. For now I think I'm going to consider either grocery shopping or possibly laundry since they're useful and both can be fun.
