(no subject)
Earlier as I was cleaning I was thinking about the reasons I am no longer fond of Sacramento. However, I went outside to go to the corner store and the beautiful day wiped away those thoughts. Not that the weather made my general feelings about this city go away, but just kind of temporarily switched my brain to enjoying what is, in the moment.
And now I'm just waiting for Karen to get here so we can go to Temple for one of our job-hunting dates. Usually once a week we go to Temple to get coffee and keep each other on task. It's surprisingly helpful; I've applied for more jobs there than I ever have at home.
Oh, and since it's the new year, I supposed I should mention what my plans are. I generally don't make "resolutions" because they're so easy to fail at. Instead I try to make goals that can be reached. Obviously one of my goals is my 365. I attempted doing a self-portrait 365 a few years ago and I don't think I even made it through January. Another goal is to finally write out all the recipes I've been hoarding in my bookmarks. It's kind of hard for me to follow printed recipes, so I think writing them out on index cards will help me be more productive.

Like I mentioned in my first 365 post, my first first nephew was born last week. I only really got to be around him for a one day and it was so hard to leave, I already miss him a ton. Every time I visit my sister and her husband it reaffirms why I really want to move back to Southern California. Being around them is so much easier.
My sister and I are different in a lot of ways, but I think that's what makes us get along so well. A lot of times I get overly bummed out about stupid things and when I'm around her she snaps me out of it because she's not that way at all. Overall I feel like being in Southern California will help improve my mental disposition.
