openscarfIt took the first day of fall for summer to finally find us here. Yesterday was nice, today is even warmer but not too hot that I can't sit on the sofa. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. For the last few hours, here I've been. The light is beautiful coming in the partially shaded windows, the tv is on to HGTV, volume low and my fan is on, making a drowsy comforting background. It feels luscious and delicious; thank you warm sun.
I looked at many job ads, I'm concentrating on part-time for now because I have a month long part-time job with a good friend, helping her manage creative print materials for a BMW conference coming up. It's a very good gig with very good pay and my goal is to nail it and get further into this type of thing. I'm still writing for the site, but it's spotty and I don't know what direction it's going in. I'm still waiting for a fattish check, which is another part of it that's beginning to bug me. As a good friend recently wrote me, I'm reaching out for opportunities in the dark.
I want to briefly say, I'm pretty nervous about money. Getting a job will come from people I know or real companies. The offerings from the temp agencies and the job lists just seem to be hoaxes that go no where. The jobs are connected to agencies, the temp agencies got nothing. I scroll through them daily, but its craigslist that I think has the tangibles. I apply and apply.
I'm also trying to figure out how to pitch stories and to whom, above mentioned friend is advising me with that.
This morning I completed my first trafficking assignment, did some yoga, then walked to the bank to deposit the golden unemployment check, return two library books that I disliked so much I couldn't finish them (VERY rare for me) and got a new one that I like all ready from just a few pages in.
I feel really relaxed and more positive than I have in a while which always feels like an unexpected gift.
Here's a few pics from my outing:
