stabilizing the foundational aspects of my life (finances, career, apartment) and giving up on others (romantic/relationship) has really helped me eliminate a lot of the noise in my head. it was a lot of work, and i had some help with the financial aspect, but once i got the foundation laid out i made sure to keep improving on everything. once i did that i stopped thinking so much.

i was at my last freelance gig from October, 2008 until last week. so that’s, like, almost a year at one place- and freelancing, too! but it got very stale, so i fired myself. they would have let me go soon, anyway.

i have 2 potential freelance gigs lined up. both are of a very limited duration. neither pay as much as my last job did. i’m not super worried about the money right now and think i would be happy with either job that makes me an offer. regardless, i needed a change- i’d like to try and work in a situation where i’ll either be doing cool work or won’t be completely bored by the futility of things. it may turn out that i don’t get offered either of them.

i’ll be okay if i have to take a little break. i’m going to miami with s and her girls in october and leaving from miami for a week in jamaica with t and m and eeeeeeeee.

simon got 4 walks yesterday, totalling about 45 minutes worth of roaming time. he was really funny, any time i tried to take him back towards the house and he wasn’t ready to go back, he would pull on the leash and veer off onto a side block, just to let me know he still had things he needed to check out. so cute!

whenever i’m between jobs i really try to make an effort to give him additional walking time. he loves it so much, and how can it be bad for me to make sure he gets what makes him happy, especially when it’s exercise?
