I am t.i.r.e.d. Packing is tiring, for some weird reason.

I'm kind of waffling between tired/anxious/depressed. I want to be excited about my new job and stuff, but I'm afraid it'll suck and I'll be disappointed.

On the plus side I did get to see someone I was missing this weekend :) and got some help packing and some good ol' hanging out time. And soon I will have real weekends every weekend and can have a real social life yay!

Van Go is boring as all get out this week because Maren and Cathy are gone and there's no artwork to do... and not much to do to get ready to move into the new space, either. Bleh.

I'm struggling with some temptations this week. I don't know whether to A) Give in B) Cut them out of my life totally or C) Eat pie instead, indulging in one temptation to resist another. Definitely leaning toward C at this point. ;)

I took a nap this evening but I think it's time to go back to bed. Wheeeeee!

What's up in my life?

Well......

I am officially done at the mortuary on August 1.  I will move out that weekend (August 1 is a Friday) and into my new apartment that I am sharing with Mia, one of my VanGo coworkers.

I also got a new job to replace the mortuary, which I will begin on Monday, August 4. It's a customer service job at an arty type place. I hope it works out. It certainly pays well, and they've been very nice about waiting almost a month for me to start due to the whole mortuary situation.

I'm working with crazy high school kids at VanGo this summer, which is fun but exhausting. I can't wait until I have regular evenings and weekends.

There are lots of good things happening, and a lot of the bad things are almost over... so hopefully in about 4 weeks my life will take a definite upswing.

I'm being rehired at VanGo for the next year, and I think they're going to help me to get enrolled to go back to school. Currently I'm seriously thinking about going to K-State. I just want to get a degree and move on with my life.

I'm hoping that once I'm leading a more normal life (without the mortuary) that I'll get to do some things to help my social life. Currently I only really hang out with one person. Nothing against them :) but it's good to have multiple friends, you know? I'd like to take a class on quilting maybe. Maybe look at churches. Something.

In other news... I need a haircut, I need to lose weight, and I am pretty much totally out of clean laundry. Ah well.

Life is very busy right now... I'm working pretty much solid through the end of June. The big Van Go fundraiser/auction is a week from Saturday, and I have to finish painting a bench by then... yikes. The following week is computer camp, where WIA pays for us to stay in a hotel and gives us free laptops and printers. I'm working with high school kids in summer JAMS, helping them design benches of their own... I feel like I am constantly on the go!

I had a job interview today... I should hear back in 1-2 weeks, they said. Crossing my fingers... the hours would fit perfectly with my hours at Van Go. I'm also apartment hunting, though not as vigorously as I am job hunting. The official plan is to be out of the mortuary by August 1... my boss has already interviewed one couple that was interested in my job.

I paid my first credit card bill today. Being a grown up is kind of sucky. Not because of the money... just, all the responsibilities.

I just can't wait to have a different job where I regularly have evenings and weekends off. That would be amazing. I would love to have more of a social life... it's hard when you DO work at one job and practically live at the other.

That's it for an update. Catch ya later.
