So many blogs, so little time...

Life for me has been a little...different lately. I hesitate to say "crazy" or "busy" or "insane" as if I am trying to come up with the most extreme descriptive word to define what my last four months of life have been. It's like when you ask someone how they are and they respond with "crazy-busy-insane." Somehow, we all want to think of our own lives as more busy, more crazy, or more insane than everyone else's lives. Or maybe thats just me.

I only feel comfortable saying different because it is certainly different than anything I have ever known. My partner and I collectively have been through five cars, no make that six cars together in the last four months. I went to more interviews than I ever wish any one individual to experience, only to find out either they were lying about what the job actually was or that they "decided to go with another candidate." Now I am doing the interviewing, seeking a "qualified vet tech and cat sitter" I reached the lowest depression point in my life to date. Then I landed a temp job, in which I sold flowers over the phone and didn't even know who my boss was. Then I rescued some kittens on a Sunday afternoon. I took my Swedish godmother to a indie show and movie screening. I might be going to Haiti to sell a diesel fuel additive, but I am still stuck at a job that was worse than anything I had before I had a bachelors degree.

Life has been different. It doesn't look like I thought it would. I am still in San Diego. Madly in love just so you know. I couldn't be happier and more dissatisfied with my current place in life all at the same time. I just hope I am able to look back on all this and see what I have learned. Or at least a few good stories.

I wish I could stop saying this but...I KNOW THE FEELING. It sucks. But it'll get better?

YES. (I type this in all caps to compensensate for the lack of affirmation I am actually feeling.)
