Finally!
I haven't updated in a while; I 've just been busy. What have I been busy doing? NOT FUCKING WORKING, that's what! Contrary to what one might believe, the new year is a HORRIBLE time to try to find a job. I've applied to a ton of places, and they're either waiting to see how the year is going to shape up, or they're moving offices, or they're just not hiring. So, we'll see. I'm waiting to hear from a few more places. I'm gonna give it a few days, but if I don't hear anything, I'm going to have to go back to Old Navy and let it once again slowly drain out my soul. But a woman at my church may be hiring me to work with the Westbrook Housing Authority. I'd be working in the office that helps provide housing for low-income families and women, which would be cool. So, we shall see . . . I'm also waiting to hear back from SMCC, AAA, Market Decisions, and the Women's Policy Center . . . it seems like no employers are able to get their asses in gear quickly after the new year.
Other than that, things have been good. I had a kickass New Year. Luke and I went to a seven deadly sins party at Katie's. I was greed. He was sloth. It kicked ass. I should be adding at least one picture from it pretty soon . . .
I've also joined a feminist activist group which is awesome. I'm getting to know a ton of new people, and really getting back into the swing of Portland. A lot of the people I've been hanging out with are Luke's friends, and some are people we're both getting to know now. I was meeting up with them the other night at Katie's, and in the elevator she goes, "We've all been talking about how much we love you." It's so great to be welcomed and embraced by this group. And Marion, we all have to get together! This week's just been insane! It's GREAT to be back in a city with things to offer. Being here makes me realize just how much I had outgrown Farmington.
We took Will back to Boston this past Friday. Let's just say . . . fifth floor in a building with a BROKEN ELEVATOR. I tallied it up, and I carried stuff up twenty-five flights of stairs, cumulatively. I love Boston. I really do. I just . . . I think I need to be in a bigger city. I need that stimulation, that opportunity, the options that it gives. I can't wait for Minneapolist. I don't think I'd want to live in a major city forever, but a few years will be lovely.
I took Lusta (pronounced Looshta) up to Rockland tomorrow. She's living with Ally now. It's a big mess that included mum kind of giving away my cat without really discussing it with me. Yeah. I miss her a lot already. But, I was taken out of the equation . . . . if she's going to go with someone, I'm glad it's Ally. But I miss her.
At least I still have my other pets. And BB will be moving to MN with us.
Also, we started planning our Europe trip. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.
