Holy Crap it's November...

So, it's November...a month that brings many things, including anxiety and turkey; two things that I do not like, but sometimes the things that go with them are quite pleasing. I enjoy mashed potatoes and gf stuffing, as well as herbal tea and ativan. So, this month can't be so bad, right?

Along with my good philosophy, I have solidified a 16 month commitment; the longest I've ever made in my life willingly, and in advance.

I am going to school in MANHATTAN!! Very exciting. My parents agreed to pay for school and even help me out with living arrangements because I'll probably only manage to work part time while going to school. I'm thrilled that it's happening but I'm anxious about making it happen. Finding a place to live is challenging and finding a job when I get there is going to suck. I'll be okay, though.

What's worse is that my temp job just ended a week and a half ago...a lot sooner than I expected and probably because I have a conscience. I told them that as of mid December, I would be going to school. I'm fairly certain that this is why when I came up in the executive meeting, it was decided that my assignment should end. Great. I probably could have let them know two weeks in advance and still had a job. Shows what being a good person means in the business world. But, what was I really expecting? Nice and business do not go together.

So, I filed for unemployment today...which I must say, I had reservations about. I do not even know if I'm eligible since I was doing "temp" work for the past 5 months-but it was 40 hours a week since June and I've been working full time since spring of 2009. So, I know I've been paying into it. Anyway, I'm glad I did it since I'm completely broke and still haven't found a job. I might get some kind of help, while I look.

I'm also lucky to have Kel cleaning up the pieces of my every day disasters!

Many things to do before moving. I have not really prepared in anyway yet...in fact, I don't really even think any of it has set in. It's more an abstract idea still and it's something that I have to attend to dramatically in the next month. When it does set in, how will my brain handle it? I suspect the need for lots of valerian and chamomile tea will be in order. I really hope I don't get sick when I try to go to school. Oh, goodness...please don't let me get sick.

More on my great anxieties later...

Kelly's birthday is on Friday!! That's happy. I hope it goes well. I wish I could do more but, I am very poor...so I will have to cook with lots of love this weekend.

I like birthdays that aren't mine....but it's coming.
