That was fun...Next?

So I've been home for approximately 48 hours. It was fun and all, but the last three weeks have made my location-attention span ridiculously short. So far I have: gone out with an old friend and seen people I sort of know so I smile instead of start a conversation; made pretend plans with friends who also have started their own lives and don't have time for the plans; made dinner for my parents and had lively discussion; visited grandparents; applied for jobs... Des Moines and Norwalk have very little to offer to my constantly active mind. Perhaps I will get a job or two soon and be able to congest my time with that and save some money.

Maria has been in communication with some people about a house in San Diego! Looks like we will be moving in in late December! I can't wait to go suck the life out of San Diego until I can find the time to get bored and then look for my next adventure.

I'm doing my best not to be in the waiting place and make the most out of living at home but it is hard to do, as I've discovered before. I have a few goals set for myself in order to truly enjoy my home instead of seeing it as passe. I have already cut my wardrobe in less than half. It feels good being able to get rid of things that were weighing me down and taking up space. I plan on getting a hold of a hospital in Des Moines that provides free amenities to people who really need the help. I figure there are hundreds of women my size in Des Moines that could certainly use the clothes that were forgetten in the back of my closet in favor of my usual jeans, tshirt, or sundress. As I mentioned before I've been applying for jobs like mad hoping that two or three respond positively (I'm used to not sleeping, and money would be fabulous right now!) If I happen to only get one or two jobs, I'd really like to look into what kind of volunteering Des Moines has to offer. And I'm reading. Lots and lots of reading!

But I know I can't not go to California, at least for a little bit. It's like going to a store and something fitting perfectly when you never expected it...you just can't leave it on the shelf you have to splurge, be a little spontaneous, maybe regret it for 20 minutes on the way home but put it on and realize "DAMN....this looks good on me" This has been Janssen's simile of the day :) enjoy accordingly

Anyways, I'm off to make poor decisions for my liver and waistline with tequila.
