I was just going to update my last journal, but I thought it was getting a bit too long. To find out what is really going on you may want to read that one first, and then read this one.
Well it looks like I will be starting in the Admin offices soon.
I will be salaried, plus I will still work a couple of shifts a month on the gallery floor. And that will be an extra bit of icing on the cake. I will even get to keep some of my clients.
I'm thinking it will be enough to pay off the rest of my trip (to ALL involved) and start saving for the move. My dad wants me to start looking for places out here on my own, so it will work out well for him. I started trying to figure out the finances of living on my own and realized that if I can get a job making at least what I'll be pulling in for salary here I can actually afford it.
it will be tight, but totally doable. and that makes me SO excited!!! finally out totally on my own. It is only the ability to buy furniture that I will have to worry about. My sister's BF is gonna help me find a good car (inexpensively) He's a mechanic at a car dealership so I wouldn't have to worry about repairs. He said he could take care of them for me. And there are plenty of things I can live without for a while.
"You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me
Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you
And my big secret -- Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood
I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me
It's my big secret -- Keeping you coming
slow like honey, heavy with mood
Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart
So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory
But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cuz I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood"
--Slow Like Honey, Fiona Apple
I know I posted this song a while ago, but it is one of my all time favorites. I don't blame you if you skipped over it.
I hope you are all having a great day. Aloha!
