Welp, I'm officially un-employed. My contract ended last Friday and I haven't quite figured out what I want to do yet. So I'm sort of in this weird limbo state. I'm pretty sure I know what my plan is but since it's not quite underway I feel a little bit exposed.
Tomorrow is the premiere of fetch!
http://pbskids.org/fetch/ You can watch the first episode online but I don't know how long they plan to keep that up for. Otherwise tune in to PBS on Monday at 3:30-5:30pm they are playing four episodes back to back. My work has rented out a bar on 4th and we are going there at 3:30 to drink beer and watch cartoons. WooOOooo!
In other news I went to get an eye exam the other day and I've been told that I need glasses. Oh boy, I sort of knew that was coming since I went in there because my eyes were kind of bugging me. It's still a shock though when you know for sure that you need them. I started trying on glasses in the store and I felt so awkward. I would look in the mirror and say to myself "I don't wear glasses, this isn't you". So I told the guy in the store that I would think about it and come back. I think I just needed some time to adjust to the idea. I wouldn't need to wear them all the time though, only when I'm working and driving at night. I should also put them on if I want to see things really clearly in the distance. Possibly when watching a movie? I don't know. This is all so weird and new to me.
I told a co-worker about this and she said "Well aren't you just falling apart?". Sometimes I feel really old, like I’m ten years older than what I really am, both mentally and physically. When I get back from my break, no one is going to recognize me. My surgery will be completed, so my face will look different and I'll be wearing glasses. Maybe I should bleach my hair blonde just to tip the scale completely. It could be fun, heh heh.
Man I'm nervous being in that limbo space. I've finished the last chapter and haven't quite begun the new one. I have a month or so of the in-between period. This is defiantly the time of new beginnings. My whole family has gone through a pretty dark phase, and I feel like things are finally on the up and up. My Dad just got a new job, my sister finished her third year at school as an electrician and her husband just graduated and starts his new job on Thursday. My cousin is starting a new job as well. And me, well, I'm in limbo, but give me a month or two and I'll be on my way as well. I just gotta decide what I want to do.
I have a lot of options which I'm grateful for. Here's to a wonderful year and new beginnings. Cheers!
