 i'm job-hunting which, frankly, sucks ass. for instance today i couldn't find more than ONE job that i am qualified for, can probably do, and would pay me enough to live on. it's very easy to feel hopeless with those odds! i am very dissatisfied with the general direction of my life right now!

so, in an attempt to quell the sad voices telling me to give up and eat ice cream, here are some good things:

• my new rose quartz pendant is really helping me!! i've never had such an immediate physical reaction to a crystal but this one is really special.
• my parents are really understanding about all this and it's nice to know that they're in my corner.
• my cat is really cute and keeps trying to chew on my toes, which is very cute.
• i have therapy next week.
• in three weeks i have a four-day weekend which i thought would be like, a fun vacation with my mom but will probably just be a lot of frantic job-hunting but still! that's time i don't have to be at my desk, which is always a good thing.
• i have half a bagel for breakfast tomorrow, which will be nice.
• there's not-very-serious family drama unconnected with me, which is enjoyable to witness. without getting into the details, this particular drama has a distinct 19th century flavor that i am just eating up.
• uhhhhhhhh............. idk! i'm trying and i have to make progress eventually! i am getting back to what i'm good at, which is ploughing ahead and throwing myself at things until something works.
