Just a quick catch up…. (Ketchup!)…
I leave for Oklahoma in two days. I am so excited to get to
see everyone! Oklahoma is my home, so it’s almost like the holidays. I am
working for the Oklahoma Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain for the month, which
is why I’m coming back, but I have some time off the second week, so I’m gonna
go see EVERYONE that I can. I have some parties and things lined up. It’s sure
to be a good time.
I quit the cheese.
I have a couple of other options lined up when I get back
from Oklahoma, so nobody panic. I just couldn’t do it anymore.
The schedule was so painful. I would work 40 hours a week,
but they would be odd hours that would take up entire days, never anything
consistent. At one point, I asked to be off by 3pm on Thursdays so I could go
to a yoga class with a friend. In turn they gave me every Thursday off, and no
weekend days off, and yes, I like yoga…however, I enjoy weekends more.
I think it’s great that cheese and wine can make some people
feel so happy and fulfilled. I am just not one of those people.
When it comes to my life journey, I have to get on the
freaking ball here. I need headshots, first and foremost. I need a voice reel.
I need a flexible job. I need, need, need, and money is the only thing that ever holds me back. It’s so frustrating.
Woe, Money! Life…stop being a bitch.
In other news, I got a bike! It’s green and cute and her
name is Schwinny Todd. (She’s a lesbian.) I’d really like to try and bike through
the winter if possible, so I’m going to buy a few things in OK and ship them
back. A few of my friends say that biking in the winter is easier and even
safer than the summer….Golly gee! I hope I don’t die!
Biking makes me happy. It’s so strange, and kinda cheesy,
but I was riding through the city with a friend a couple weeks ago and had this
realization that biking was something I was always supposed to do. It makes me
really happy. I see so much more of the city on a bike. I see things I really wouldn’t
see otherwise.
Turns out quitting smoking cold turkey is super duper HARD,
which I knew, but wasn’t entirely prepared for. I am still not smoking
regularly, but I have had a few slip ups here and there, mostly when I’m
drinking. I haven’t given up though!
I am so excited for the next few days of my life...the next
four weeks, really… AND coming back to a beautiful city and my beautiful
friends in November.
I hope you enjoyed this mediocre blog, and I promise I’ll
have more to say next time.
Happy, happy!
