New life in suspension

• I moved 35 days ago.
  
  
• Mary Alice left 31 days ago.
  
  
• In the time since, with the exception of two lovely visits from Himself (ah, what a complicated situation that is!) I have not seen anyone I know. That’s an odd thing to consider, isn’t it? When was the last time you went for any length of time without setting eyes on someone who cares about you?
  
  
• For the most part, I have been contentedly alone and not lonely.
  
  
• I watch too much tv, which is a real feat considering it is summer and the cable listings are a collection of 17,000 channels full of nothing.
  
  
• I am madly in love with Weeds.
  
  
• I have applied for at least one job a day.
  
  
• I have gone on three interviews and turned down one. ($10.50 an hour for a position with supervisory responsibility?? You gotta be kidding me.)
  
  
• Organization #1 did not select me. Most likely because I am WAY overqualified for the job but it still irks me to see the big “come work for us!” sign on the side of their building.
  
  
• Organization #2 closed the search “due to unforeseen circumstances.” I tried really hard not to, but I wanted that job. I would have been great at it.
  
  
• I hope to hear from Organization #3 soon. I just interviewed with them yesterday. It is temp work but that’s cool for now.
  
  
• My interest in quilting is coming back. It's about time.
  
  
• I have not had pizza. (Tombstone doesn’t count.) (Tombstone hasn't been the same since Kraft bought the company, but that's a rant for another day.)
  
  
• I have not had Chinese food. (Frozen P.F. Chang’s doesn’t count. It’s pretty tasty, by the way.)
  
  
• I just had Mexican yesterday for the first time since the move. (Fish tacos from D’Leon’s, which were yummy.)
  
  
• I have eaten more eggs in the last month than probably in the last year. I am having a crazy love affair with eggs over-easy.
  
  
• Good thing my cholesterol is quite low.
  
  
• I couldn’t have chosen a location farther from everything in Lincoln. Everything I want and/or need is on the other side of town.
  
  
• A thousand blessings on the person who invented Mapquest.
  
  
• Good thing I enjoy driving.
  
  
• I need to work because I am running out of money.
  
  
• I also need to work because I am (very slowly) running out of contented aloneness.
  
  
• Neither of those things is causing any real anxiety. I have no idea why.
  
  
• My apartment faces west and that makes me very happy. I like watching the weather come.
  
  
• And if someone can make the guy upstairs stop stomping around every. damn. night. between 10 p.m. and midnight, I will make cake balls for you.
