went out to buy job interview clothes today - no luck. i'm not the same shape i was awhile ago - i need to start going to yoga again. i think that i'll go to my yoga studio and ask if they need anyone to do odd jobs. like cleaning floors or filling in at the front desk or something.. maybe even if they need my sweetie to write any software for them.. i guess i can work on doing yoga by myself, but i haven't developed the requisite self-control for that yet.
my hair has faded quite a lot - it's sort of tangerine colored now. strange. i washed it today, and now it's all shiny and smooth. it needs to be cut. i should find someone to do it...
i've been tired all day. i still need to do some german writing, and then i'll go to sleep. warm and curled up in bed is a great place to be.
my sweetie made a very dangerous and wonderful suggestion today. he has $5,000 or so in an IRA, but he has to move it because it's for an old job - he has to pay fees if he doesn't move it. it's depreciating, anyway - he had $7,000 in it a year and a half ago. so he withdraws the money, and gets a small penalty, and then we have a big chunk of money sitting around. if we can get jobs before we take the money out, it can go straight into savings or to our parents or somewhere we can't touch it. then we use it to go on a honeymoon after the wedding.. for a YEAR. somewhere really really cheap. we sit on the beach and we read. build things. write. sing and dance and cook. and if we want to stay, we look for something to do - teach english, wire up internet access, etc. except that the money really should go into some sort of savings - the stock market, or just a normal savings account.. i just want to spend it now. that mentality won't get me an island, i know, but that's ok for now. i have plenty of time to find an island.
i watched the rain today.. slanted rips in the air, pitterpatter of tiny wet feet. sky the color of milk mixed with grape juice. soft and purplegrey. the sun shone from the edges of the clouds, through the bent trails of water on the car windshield. dark shadows flanking luminous reflections, crawling across the backs of my hands as i watch in wonder. sometimes, if i get the angle just right, i can look in a mirror to see ghostly reflection tears run down my cheeks.
