The Life Pursuit

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!
