Week 6: The smaller parts

I dreamt of a solar eclipse last night.

Not sure what that means, whether it means anything at all.

Maybe it's like the moon, your more intimate face, coming to the forefront over the sun, your more distilled face.

Embracing the smaller parts of yourself.

I got rejected from another job. And a meeting I set up to motivate my career, ended up making me feel less confident about my experience.

Still we carry on, and climb down the ladder from assistant work to unpaid internships.

This new bartending gig is going well still. It frees up my weekdays so I have nothing to do but focus on finding a day job and keeping myself healthy.

It's exactly the work environment I've been looking for, and I've already taken opportunities to assert myself.

When a drunk girl accuses you of omitting the vodka in her vodka cranberry, hour eight of a twelve hour shift, you take the opportunity to assert yourself.

Road trip news!

I booked two of my first campsites: at Wind Cave, SD and Yosemite, WY.

The majority of National Parks don't book out this far, but it feels so good to have concrete plans.

Money invested.

I've had to adapt my timeline again, in order to align with my cousin's schedule, who I'll be crashing with for a week.

Last week I developed a "new start" date, and today I have a "new new" start date: June 17, 2022.

Tomorrow evening I'm leaving to go to New York City again, just for a few days.

I booked one of my best friends a sample sale appointment at Kleinfeld Bridal for her upcoming wedding and I'm so excited to support her.

More big news, I'm a new foster mom!

I've been wanting to have a cat in my home for some time, but I can't exactly afford vet bills and won't be in Rochester forever.

Queue Herbie, my first foster cat.

Leaving for a trip always motivates me to get my house in order, and today I've done just that

My laundry is done, dishes are washed and bills are paid.

I look forward to another week of change and opportunity.
