I mean ::SIGH::
Being unemployed is the pits! Can I tell you, it's now going on to six months of searching for a job. It's a bit disheartening to go through years of university, and mountains of loans to pay for it, to only end up living with your mom!
So, how have I been filling my time, you ask? Well, between the job searching, I've made a little herb and vegetable garden, started making jewelry, signed up at the gym, volunteering at the local animal shelter SPCA of Central Florida,
and of course, I've continued with my writing. On the up side, I've had a couple of interviews, and should find out by the end of this week the status on one of them; and by next week the status of the other...
Unfortunately, that's not the only drama going on. During all of this time, my boyfriend's been going through his own troubles which have been way more tragic than my own. His father passed away six months ago, and his mother (who's been in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and dementia), is now in hospice care. Oh, and his aunt (in Italy) is in the hospital with heart issues. It's a lot to deal with for both himself and I. And, while I try to keep him positive, it's hard to ignore the fact that I'm going through all of this too, plus my own issues.
Again ::SIGH::
But I have faith that it'll all turn out alright. All the other friends are still there, living their lives. Andraya's still in the midst of planning her Sarasota wedding, Yomi is working, working, and being a mom. And Donna's working, working, and being a mom. I'm just.... baking.
