ffffffuhriday

1. Have found a parking spot for my car. yeeessss. Dan's friend is letting me rent a spot in her driveway, about a 15-18 min walk from my apt. And like 3 mins from his house. niiiiice.

2. Applied to FOUR more jobs; 2 secretary/receptionist/blahblah, 1 office manager, 1 with WYN which I think would be pretty damn swell. I wrote a really heartfelt cover letter and whatnot. Hooray for after school programs!

3. Bagels... eh. I only was on schedule for 2 days this week. They said they'd "let me know" when they needed me to come in again. Blerg. I think they're just waiting for their visit from the health inspector and are afraid if I am there I will do something stupid. So, health inspector, please come soon so I can work. Kthnx.

4. Mom bought a house in Wilson, which makes the drive out to her place about 30=45 minutes less. It's her "10 year" house -- she has 10 years until she retires, and her current job is going to eventually be moved to Raleigh, or if she gets promoted she will be working in Raleigh, so she figured she might as well just buy a damn house. It's really cute and sits on about an acre of land and is zoned within county but not city limits so she can get chickens. CUTE! Also! It's only an hour from the statewide flea market in Raleigh, so we've been discussing going one weekend and getting a spot. Which means I'm going to be using some of this not-working time to build up some stock and such. MAKING THINGS IS NEAT, WOOO!

5. Kristi sent me a care package with all sorts of neat paper goods and candy and a flower I can grow. I felt pretty special. Working on some mail art for her.

6. I am ridiculously stupid fucking happy relationship-wise. Borderline retarded. It's pretty disgusting but I like it.

7. Also broke. But trying to fix that.

8. I like lists!

9. Applying for Americorps jobs, looking into WWOOF, trying to find some volunteer abroad opportunities that don't cost me a million dollars, etc. I think I want to get out of Boone; not for forever, but for a bit. Of course #6 greatly complicates that.

10. It just felt right to end on 10. Have a good day y'all.

sold my red horse for a venture home

Last night: art expo, hannah's show, then dogsitting with Kristi at her art professor's house (which is the coolest house with the coolest dog in the coolest spot ever). I don't even like dogs that much, but this one is the wriggliest, most adorable big eyed basset hound I've ever seen. I just want to give her kisses all over her big flopsy ears. Then I brought the Ginger a flower.

Today: * research for Mayan paper (which is due in like a week and a half, which I've done pretty much no research on, but it only has to be about 15 pages, which any other time would have freaked me out but I think I can do this).
* clean living room. we are ladybug central, and it is NOT cute
* chocolate/butterscotch cookies and peanut butter/butterscotch tarts
* GO OUTSIDE IN THE WARM SUNSHINE (reserved for when it gets about 41 degrees, so not now)
* write write write
* see Ginger

I had more Gary dreams last night. We were having sex, but not in that hot dream sex sort of way, just in a "this is what we do," psuedo-dreamland comforting sort of way. I don't know. Last night I told him I thought he was having some sort of psychological regression considering his recent black out behavior, ha ha ha.
