| i just have to take a moment out of the day at my new job to say how THANKFUL i am for said job, and also for the sense of peace i feel about life in general.
also, i got studio space! in a really great studio with really great women, for really cheap.
ALSO, i have a really great boyfriend who listens to me and makes me laugh and encourages me and keeps me calm.
that's all. life is good.

| i got a job.
i just thought i'd post that for posterity (because i think the people who might still be reading this have already gotten the announcement by email or telephone). | | |
| temping today. so i get paid to read (i've been here for two hours and the phone has rung three times). and apply for other jobs. and i'm having lunch with my favorite capella people! and there is real art on the walls here--prints by clifton karhu! he's my favorite! or one of them, at least. which i will take as a sign. a good sign. and i'm reading murakami again. another favorite. so bizarre (sp?). and fortunately his writing reminds me of bart rides and the bay instead of anxiety and a broken heart. time does heal all things, doesn't it? or at least most things. last night i was a little blue. well, a lot blue. but today i'm fine. bright. which, i realize, is not a color, but it's something. better than blue. | | |
| i love going to the pool with shelly and zoey--swimming back and forth, feeling the cool water and hot sun simultaneously on my back. and then watching zoey learning about the water, holding her head up while she lies on her back, all three of us ducking under the water at the end of "ring around the rosey", blowing bubbles just under the surface of the water.
it will be so sad to help them pack up their little house and say goodbye to them. everything seems to be changing, which makes my life change, but at the same time, causes me to feel as if i'm the only one not changing and that feels strange, too. | | |
| i had really grand ideas of the small happenings i would document in this space and now cannot muster the energy to describe them all. maybe because there are so many. maybe because i am so tired (i worked way too much last week). maybe because i am at work and all the real people just got back from their meeting = i really shouldn't be on xanga. although i am being productive--i'm waiting for files to download. so there. so maybe i will just list them. if i can remember them. it was nice to have the girls all in town and together this weekend. we danced and partied and ate wonderful food and it was great. sitting on the light rail the other day, i looked up at the metrodome stop to see about a hundred little pairs of eyes looking eagerly into the train cars. the doors opened. the owners of the eyes all flooded, giggling and talking, into the car. field trip! yikes! it really was like being invaded. they all squealed with surprise as the train took off again (as most of them were not hanging on to anything). it was pretty hilarious, and fun to watch so many third-graders discover physics and the city and the light rail all at once. it is decided that i am a "keeper." i still need a job. i'm almost finished with dfw. finally! i feel on the verge of a fairly sizeable personal accomplishment. | | |
