Sometimes I feel like I spread my resources too thin trying to give those around me an opportunity to help themselves.
It’s 12:42AM. I’m revamping this less than computer savvy friend’s resume wording 3 templates so they’re relevant to each field she applies at. Finding a job is hell for anyone right now, let alone a disabled, single mom doing it all on her own. For 2 straight weeks we’ve been driving around all over town, me just tagging along to keep her company and watch the the little one while she runs in and out of these businesses like wonder woman.
My eyes aren’t so bad I particularly need a Care Giver, but I qualify, so once that paperwork goes through the state will pay for her certification. After that she can take on other clients who could really benefit from someone as helpful as she since the most I’d want is rides to classes and appointments.
It means no Italy this summer that I’d been saving for these last 6 months, but I think renting a little house with her will be a good thing for everyone. She’ll have the kind of home she hopes for her 2 year old, and I’ll finally have a big enough space to host meditation workshops without it killing us both financially.
OK!
I think it’s time for bed… My brain is fried from all this cooperate America lingo.

Yesterday was Fertile Ground’s 3rd meeting. I’m hoping this group takes the novel approach of taking action to their activism. We’re organizing a radio station, and youtube project for issues within Whatcom County. In my head it be amazing to have presence locally, involved in preservation of our little sanctuary as well as organize outreach projects.
This is all way off in the future, though.
In any case, I’m really excited about these sustainable build projects sprouting up all over the country, and finally going back to college for Sustainable Development.

FAFSA is all filled out..
Feels weird not having to provide my parents information anymore.
SO I took a little adventure down to the college for a meeting with my Entry & Admissions Adviser, got a feel for what my fall quarter will look like..
*Environmental Economics
*Political Science
*Cultural Communication
I may have to quit my job.
We talked about internships related to sustainability that could go towards my major, which has me bouncy that I can go back to school and still travel.
Disabilities Resources managed to see me while I was there. Some times it’s fun catching people off guard. No one really knows what to do with a tiny, legally blind, tattooed, pierced, existentialist, activist, gypsy kid.
