I'm doing 10 things
I know this job does NOT make me happy. However, the evil you know is better than the evil you do not know, and I’m hanging on to full time until Mike can get a job, or until HL forces me to go part time. And when I do go part time, I’m so worried that my art won’t support me. I should know it will, it’s too popular not to, but there are always slow months and I’m the WORST financial manager. Grrr. One day, one day. But until then, I have to hold off on running screaming from this place, and hold my ground. Crossing my fingers mike finds a job that makes him happy, and that he finds it quick.

How I did it
It made me
Self-Aware 
How I did it: I have, for the entirety of my life, wanted to be an artist. I actually felt quite stupid for applying to college believing what my mom had brainwashed me with: "An Art Degree is useless. It will get you nowhere." and NOT signing up for any art classes. Eventually, my nature won out, and in my third year of college courses, not doing so great, graduation looking bleak, and already 6 major changes below my belt, I finally changed my major … Read how I did it…
It made me
love my dogs.
How I did it: I just started going out with the boys even if it were for a 10-15 minute walk around the block. They appreciated going outside and exploring so much, I just loved taking them, and I needed to get outside, too. The more I did walk them, the better I felt, and the dogs would tell me if they had been cooped up too long and needed to be walked. It was cool to see their sleeping patterns and behavior change for the better (as well as mine) th… Read how I did it…
It made me
re-evaluate feelings 
How I did it: It started out as insecurity that I was feeling approaching graduation at lightning speed, and supporting not only my bf, but my much consuming brother, two dogs, AND myself, and I was not feeling secure with my novio. It was affecting me in our wonderful relationship, and in an effort to find a way to nail down what was wrong I claimed it was his lack of employment. Now, it's been quite a few months...I can't remember how long ago I made… Read how I did it…

Really getting the bug to gut this house and do repairs and clean it. I know it’s also because I don’t want to have to panic and do lots of repairs and painting and such when we finally do move out, so I’m combining the two. Doing really well—but got to keep it up. This house is crammed full of crap!
Mike and I did a full weekend camp out at the Suwannee Music Park, and it was the most amazing weekend EVER. I hope there is a chance to go there for another music festival again. We were happy campers! C:
