(old entry that was deleted from a few days ago)
i either have one or the other. right now i have lots and lots of time. i've become quite domestic, too. i decided to live with B. instead of my old man. B has a job and seeing that i don't have one yet i'm working on my keen ability to wash dishes and do laundry (the machines are for free in his apartment!) and sweep and unpack all my bags. what a domestic goddess i am. huh.
with all this time on my hands, i have plenty to do other than cleaning-- mainly, create a new resume (something that makes me shudder just thinking about it) and go online searching for employment. yikes-- now i get to see what i'm made of. the job market isn't as dismal as it was a couple of years ago, which is good, but B thinks maybe i should get a job before going out to get THE job. some incoming money would be nice right now but where? bookstore? perhaps. perfume store? they weren't biting when i was fishing yesterday. retail, like the gap? hey, i could get a nice discount and i'm sure the seasonal hiring is going to be starting in the next month or so, but oy, folding jeans. ack, who knows. i'm just trying not to freak out about it. something will work out-- it always does.
i have made a plan to buy a quarter pound of cheese each week from the fancy cheese counter at the fancy store up the street from me. i'd like to learn more about cheese and taste as much new stuff as i can. B and i went to lunch at a french bistro in seattle last week and i had a toasted chevre salad and it was like breathing again to eat that lovely food.
