so its funny to read from a post 2 years ago precisely. funny to read from all of them. i deleted a few. much has happened since.
i moved to charleston last june. i've also relocated within the greater charleston area 3 times and will embark on a 4th and likely final move in a few days. (final with regard to my residence in charleston, i mean. more moves are certain to occur.)
i spent a year at a job i simultaneously loved and hated and couldn't care about any less. the best part about it was a free massage each month. the real best part was working with friends. it felt less like a job than any i've ever had because of a handful of lovely people.
i took another job in june of this year that has truly challenged me in ways i'd never have hoped for or guessed. i'm proud it was offered to me, i'm proud i said yes and have learned what i've learned and i have a great deal of respect for the people who are cut out for this industry because i am faking it on my best days. but i'm glad to be here because i believe my experiences will make me a better employee at all future jobs. i've also become a slightly more responsible adult, change thats been a long time comin.
my beautiful sister and her kind of not that bad i guess husband got pregnant, had a baby, and moved to arkansas. this is the thing in my life about which i am most constantly excited and ponderous and happy and sad. erin and baby wynne only moved this past weekend, while mike has been working and living in arkadelphia since august. a true test of love and strength for all parties involved. i am so proud of my sister and ceaselessly humbled by her kickass awesomeness at this mom thing. i didnt know what it would feel like to love a brother and a niece the way i love mike and wynne but it's pretty effing sick. spending time with M&E has made me both more responsible and more fun. and way more full of love every day. which is why i think they are the dopest family i know.
i've stopped writing pretty much anyplace the last couple years so this is just a half-assed effort to grease those wheels. i'm planning to start school again before this time next year and need to milk my creativity cow as often as possible. i hope very much that moving to my OWN apartment with my OWN kitchen and my OWN bathroom and NOBODY TOUCH THE REMOTE OR FUCKING ELSE will nurture better life habits as well. like happiness, craft time, cable and internet, real food with fresh ingredients, inviting people over and FIREPLACE OMG. you know. the 7 habits of significantly less ineffective people.
fireplace is a big one. don't underestimate.
