Moving forward
I'm being laid off at the end of December. It is a welcome relief.
While I did not do the job search I told myself to do this weekend, my goal was to lengthen the weekend as long as possible. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself - playing tour guide with my roomie Carrie and her mom who is visiting yesterday, cleaning house, throwing shit out, washing the dirt out of my pile of clothes, that just makes my life a lot easier to live.
Tuesday will be my 32nd birthday. I took the day off, simply because it was my goal never to work on my birthday. I even get Wednesday off since it's a Veterans Day holiday. I'm somewhat abating the panic at the back of my mind about turning 32. The panic is echoing...I'm alone. I'm alone. I'm alone. caw caw caw.
I have a fall collage that I'm putting together in my mind - I picked up autumn leaves at the Japanese garden yesterday that are drying now. I think I will use it as the background for a series of bird stencils in acrylic paint. I will have a lot of time to write, make art, help Carrie with her yoga bags sewing project.
I'm really looking forward to not working for awhile.
