It has been nonstop for weeks. So busy, every moment, and the house is still a mess. I'm carrying a lot of the weight of parenting/cleaning/cooking/etcetering, but managing to keep up with school. School is good but hot damn I am ready for a break. This weekend I will have a proto-break that involves crazy hot date in Seattle (my first since the meltdown of 2012) and seeing the Gossip. I am eagerly looking forward to getting some, umn, attention. Hopefully this will recharge me to push through these last couple weeks of the term, then graduation, then summer!
I'm really hoping to find an excellent part time summer job. My faculty advisor for my master's hired me as her research assistant, first telling me that she could pay me $5grand for the summer. But, instead, that is going to be 10-15 hours a week at 12/hr. That won't even cover my tiny rent, much less gas, sunscreen, champagne to drink at the river (ha!).... you get it. I am less freaked out about this than I maybe should be. I applied the other day to run kayak tours around Ross Island, but they are likely fully staffed already. We'll see. A friend may need a nanny for her three really great kids, that would be fun. Looks like I'll be piecing it together for the duration, and I'm feeling oddly okay about it. I get to spend time with my son!! I miss him. He's at school 40 hrs/week. It's always alarming to see the numbers.
I'm having a really hard time keeping some news secret, but I'm still holding it. mostly.
That's what I got. I miss being social. xo
