Well I got all my boxes of goodies in the mail yesterday. I had mailed myself five boxes of 'can't live without it' stuff. It is AMAZING what a difference in the head it makes to have your own, cozy, homey, gnomey decor in your space. It feels SO much better. I also copied Jamie's idea of putting colorful folders all over the wall to change the walls from dingy, dirty white to bright purple, teal, brown/red and yellow... It looks much better than it sounds. Plus I can hang all sorts of interesting objects from the bazillion push pins I have holding everything up. It is pure genius really. And it looks SO GOOD. Now I just need a few more soft, light scarves to wrap around my pipes and it will be so delightfully PERFECT!
And the job front, there have been no such uplifts. Things aren't looking so great. I put out new resumes each day and thus far I've only gotten the one interview and it seems to be accomplishing me nothing. They're not calling me back, and attempting to call them and get answers are futile and I'm done trying. Any more attempts might border on harassment.
Aside from money woes I love it here. My neighborhood is nice and peaceful. I'm able to sleep at night without white noise, although a fan would be nice just for the cooling/ air movement. But you can't have everything.
You really must come and see my apartment. Well, I still need plants. Scarves and plants. But those must wait until I get a job. I truly, deeply, really do HATE job hunting.
