plans, priorities and what I actually did this week

Sigh. No apartment. So now I have to go back to Ohio and do things from there. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the job hunt: I can be anywhere and get work from ProZ or an agency if they decide I'm worth it. I need a place to start from, and whether that place is housing or employment is almost immaterial at this point.

On the up side, I saw a lot of people this week, and obtained the beginnings of clothes to wear for interviews, and got ahold of Photoshop 7 for the Moose, and imported a whole mess of music into iTunes so I have it when I want it, and saw one movie I would never have been able to see in Kent and one I would never have gone to without somebody else saying "Want to go to the movies?", and made an imbecile of myself dancing and enjoyed it immensely. I still don't quite feel like I belong in Boston again yet, but the number of people who want me to come back and told me so is gratifying.

Next orders of business, sequentially: driving lessons/license, apartment/job, ATA exam. (Pull out umbrella and yell CHARGE!)

All right, naptime.

(no subject)

Back in Kent again. I'm tempted to take a picture of the pile of junk mail I got over the five days mail was delivered while I was gone, because it's rather impressive. I did get about four pieces of useful mail, and one piece of mail I'm not sure what to do with. It's a copy of the approval form from my case study committee. It doesn't have any comments or anything like that on it, so I don't really have any particular reason to keep it.

I ended up in the absolutely last row of the plane, in one of the two window seats that didn't have any windows. I had all three seats on that side to myself, though, so I got to stretch out, and I had enough new music to keep myself amused.

Suddenly I'm tired. Maybe I ought to take a nap. I have to go grocery shopping, too. And get ahold of a manila envelope without three or so other people's names written on it, so I can send off the ATA exam application forms and all that jazz. And unpack, so I can do laundry tomorrow after I have my driving lesson. And...never mind. Everything else can wait until tomorrow. (Almost forgot, rent is due tomorrow too.)

The container I keep under the drip in the refrigerator was absolutely full and frozen solid. I can't wait until it's not my problem any more.
