The first few weeks I was getting a lot of responses to my applications, went on several interviews, and it seemed like it would be no time at all and I would be back in the game.
Here it is, almost two months later, and still no job. I'm thankful for the time I've had to be able to relax and spend time with my knitting, but now this is really starting to suck. This is the longest I have been without a job since I was 15 years old! What the heck am I going to do when it comes time to retire? I don't go anywhere because I'm afraid I'll spend too much money (or ANY money, for that matter). Yesterday I got notice from the property management company for my apartment complex that if I don't sign a new lease by the end of October, my month to month rent will go up by over $200 per month. Thanks assholes. And I can't move...because I don't have current employment to qualify for an apartment elsewhere!
So...here's what I'm going to do. Today, I'm going to drag my sorry ass off the couch, go into the city and visit the ENORMOUS yarn shop I've been wanting to go to since I moved here. I'm doing this for ME. Otherwise, there may be blood...or much alcohol!
To end on an up-note, here's a picture of the yarn from a recycled Goodwill sweater that I dyed with Kool Aide. :)
Here's what the sweater looked like "before Kool Aide." It's the cream colored sweater in the center of the stack.
The other two sweaters will also be unraveled/recycled, but I think I'll leave them the same color.
More...later.
