Woot for a relaxing weekend...
After the crap on Friday and a few issues earlier in the week I had a pretty decent weekend. I went to a pot luck dinner at an acquaintance's home, I made Lemon bars and Coconut Meringue cookies and managed to foist all but 3 Coconut cookies on people... I so didn't want to get stuck with all that sugary yumminess, that would have been too tempting. I did meet a few new people and had a guy I thought was sort of creepy warn me about an even creepier guy... I guess there is some sort "creepiness hierarchy" and he was being nice warning me.
Sunday I got the laundry done, made a batch of ginger yogurt and did some reading... I really should have cleaned out the spare room but it's not like I need the space and no one ever visits so I don't have to worry about the craft stuff, books and art supplies that fill that space.
I'm looking forward to dance class this week even though it's not the style of dance I wanted to take I'm at least up and moving...
I am still researching possible places to relocate eventually and everything I like to do is all gathered up and accessible on the west coast (mainly in California) or the east coast, it's like the middle of the country has nothing I like to do and yet that seems to be where I can afford to live...
I spent an hour or so chatting with a friend and she seems to think my idea of going back to school is a good one I'm just scared to try. I'd need to find a way to pay for it and I just got out of debt and started building up a bit of savings, it's nice not having to live from paycheck to paycheck, I don't want to go back to school get a ton of student debt and then like a good number of people I know find that even with a degree I'm working a crap job that I can barely afford the necessities let alone paying back the student loans... Right now I like my job most of the time and even though I'm not making a ton I have benefits and I live in an area that has a low cost of living so I'm doing pretty well but I'm not really happy here. I can take a chance and try someplace else and at least I have no one other than myself I have to provide for... it's just a scary thought to be contemplating starting all over in my 40's....
