A good wind
I feel like a wonderful wind has caught my sails and I'm heading for all sorts of good things. I meant to post earlier but being on vacation means my sense of time gets a little loose. The biggest thing that happened was on Saturday, a school emailed me saying they wanted to do an interview and Sunday morning I did an interview over Facetime. It went incredibly well and that means that I'll be stopping in Ohio on my way back to Michigan for a full day interview. What makes me giggle about this job is one reason I caught this person's eye is because of my Classics' background even though its for a library job. You never know when Classics will be useful. Also the agency keeps referring me to other jobs, it's wonderful how obviously they're on my side and it makes me certain that quitting my lease was the right choice. I don't want to set any dates or hopes too set in stone for fear they'll fall apart, but this track is going to find me a job.
My ear seems to be doing okay. My dad's been bandaging it in the hope it will heal but my mom and I are going off to an emergency clinic for a second opinion. It doesn't really hurt but its so weird to not be wearing dangling earrings, I feel half-dressed.
As part of the plans for the interview, I realized that I needed some new clothes. My wardrobe and various other things I own have been not working as well as they might and this was a good chance to fix that. A huge part of this is that I tend to wear my clothes down a lot and also my wardrobe is still in mainly grad student mode and needs to be more professional. Yesterday we went shopping at the outlets and it was actually quite pleasant. I found two lovely tops for interviews, one that's polka dot with a cowl neck that has a sort of retro feel to it, a lovely champagne colored big cowl neck almost silky sweater, a fly away cardigan in a blue that's almost the color of my eyes and a great pair of professional pants. I'm still on the look out for a good interview skirt and a great jacket, but I feel hopeful. It's been a long time since I went shopping and it didn't make me feel awful.
Today I got my hair cut and it feels so much nicer and lighter as a lot of length and weight went away. There's a picture here and I'm wearing the new polka dot top in the picture as well. It's not a great shot as photobooth is always a little tricky. I might try for another shot in better light later.
Overall life is quite good and I still have more break with family visits to come and fun things happening in RP along with poking away at various stories and the prompts. The DEs of late have been such fun and I love having the time to give them a lot of thought.
