run(a)way
So I just applied for a job to be a flight attendant. Wish me luck. I would actually make more money being a waitress in the sky than doing my current job. This is startlingly sad and a good sign that it is time to get out of this rut. Also....free flights and free flights and there is also the part about free flights. I'm hoping for New York to Istanbul, Dallas to Tokyo.... or hell, just give me Gainesville to Charlotte.
I also learned that crime-scene cleaners can make like $75K a year. Uhm, OK? So should I hope the murder/suicide rate in Florida starts to pick up? Wait, this is Florida-- there is probably a kidnap-murder-suicide happening right now. When can I start?

Just when you think you've run out of road, a new path will appear before you. Or, retrace your steps and see if you might have missed another juncture on your past travels. Whatever you do, it's not likely you can stay on the path you're on. |
Apartment
I am making real progress on the set-up of my new place. This is largely because I decided (on election night) to post an ad on Craigslist for a roommate and BAM! Now I have one. This takes care of loneliness AND stress about money (and the fear that I could lie in my apartment dead for 3 days before being discovered. This would require a crime-scene clean up though, yes?).
In the past week I got a sofa, bed, dresser, set up my room, bought food, hung my Turkish lanterns (this involved me actually wiring together sockets) and am finally having the internet installed. Tom Petty was right, I don't have to live like a refugee!
My new sofa is so incredible and outlandishly floral pattered that I love it. The place is starting to look like me. The roomie and I are working on painting some coffee tables I was given and establishing our porch garden next. I kind of LOVE hardware stores and DIY projects. It is a shame that I will probably never own a home.
