i bought pink tinted sunglasses the other day. it made everything look better. so news: I got offered a job at PECI and I'm pretty excited! I'm a little nervous about living with my sister/john/the kids in Beaverton, but I think it'll also be good/a good experience for me. I want to spend more time with the kids, especially Ella (because little girls look up to older girls), she always wants me to sit by her and I feel like I don't put enough effort into being a good aunt. (And Owen of course, but I feel like it'd mean more to Ella at her age). I want to try to find some things that I can do with the kids on my own, like taking them out to dinner or playing games with them. I'll be taking the max to work (downtown) and walking 7 blocks every morning... lots of time to BLAST my ipod and wake myself up! Not really looking forward to walking 7 blocks..daily, but I have a feeling I'll be getting in better shape once I'm keeping busy/eating better. There's a lot of time to sit/eat when you don't have a job.... December will probably fly by, I already have a lot of my nights/weekends scheduled/planned out. I just don't want to be a burden at Ashley's.... but I feel like in that kind of situation I am much more aware of what I'm doing, because I know what's considered rude while staying with someone else and what's expected etc. Luckily I'll have my own room! Anyway, so my job at PECI is through a temp agency, so I'm hoping that by Jan. I will have an idea as to how long I'll be working there/what's going on and I can get a studio downtown. I will probably focus on getting one where Katie/Esther live in the Pearl. It's a really nice area and they live in subsidized housing. It would be a pretty small studio...but whatever. It'd just be me and McGee. There's parking and the streetcar is right outside, so I can just take that to work. I'm excited to decorate/make it cozy. Invite people over... I'll need to get some other seating besides my bed... Yeah, lots of changes coming up! I need to start going to bed sooner actually... I am taking melatonin tonight, so we'll see how that works.
