I've been absent from this blog for long months, but for good reason. Here are some of the trials and tribulations that have kept me away.
- I spent a week helping my grandparents move from their house to an apartment. Goodbye only home I've had an attachment to all my life!
- My boyfriend lost his job for stupid political reasons. Oh the joy of being a teacher one year away from tenure.
- Both of us being unemployed, finding a job became my number one priority. Eventually, I was offered two jobs on the same day. I picked a gig as a math tutor in the local school system (for a truly terrific program: http://www.sps.springfield.ma.us/forward5/) as my boyfriend landed a job that was half a state away. He had to get an apartment for during the week so, you know, fun sort of long distance relationship stuff.
- BF got laid off from his new job right before Thanksgiving, no reasons given as it was within his 90 day probationary period. I'm still furious about this.
- All kinds of stress and relationship strain from all of the above.
- Now trying to reinvent our lives together and also both looking for more work again. No easy feat.
So that's what I've been up to. I hope everyone else I know in the blogosphere is doing well because I feel like life has been in shambles and it's be nice to come somewhere with some stability.
Soon I'll update with some exciting news on the writing front. This is the one really good things going for me right now, so if this post was a bit depressing, stay tuned! Things will get better.
