Suddenly disappearing is probably not good.
I haven’t really been around or keeping track of my 101 list, which makes me feel ridiculously bad. I’ve been thinking about it, but I just kept forgetting when I had time to do anything. Well, now that I’m thinking about it simultaneously to being able to do it, I’ll detail what’s been done.
Before I moved, I finally got rid of all of those dreadful books (as seen here, here, here, and here). Small goal complete (#9).
I can check off one major goal, which makes me entirely too happy. I recently moved from Illinois to California, which means I have an apartment of my own (#82). I have an apartment that’s in a relatively safe area; I’m quite content, and I’m even closer to the love of my life. Everything is quite lovely. Now to just get over the slight feeling of anxiety when I leave, which generally occurs for the first month of being somewhere new.
Now I’m working on gaining employment, which might be the more difficult part. I’ll just have to see, but I plan to apply almost anywhere. I have to wait for a little help on one application, but I’ve submitted a few resumes and applications already. I even applied at the Apple Store, which would be all too fun. Despite having lost both of my Macs to abuse by others (sigh), I still adore them. That isn’t to say I’m a Mac enthusiast, because I’m not. I actually really like this computer, too. I just love the atmosphere of the Apple Store. Other jobs I’ve sent applications or resumes for were more receptionist or administrative assistant. Just have to do what I can, I guess.
I have, however, failed three goals. Of course, they were all related. I did not document my move through photographer (#36), and I did not capture my favourite parts of St. Louis in portraits (#37). This, of course, means that I cannot create a design based on the two projects (#38).
I probably, however, should add another goal. I’m not going to, but I’m going to hope I can do it. Mark bought me a beautiful calla lily, which is both good and bad. The good part is that he’s incredibly sweet, and they’re my favourite flower. The bad part is that I murder plants. I’m hoping I can keep it alive. Two more flowers have sprouted since I took that picture. I’m thinking it needs a new pot or to be split up, so I’ll probably go find one that I rather like so that it has more space for its roots, but not too much more.
