ohhh I was feeling so very remiss when I finally went to check in with my blogger world. IT has been ages since I've read or posted - I missed you all so much! Now that "my time is my own" its hard to get into a schedule of checking and composing and its funny how disconnected I feel when I haven't checked yahoo, home email or any blogs for a few days. I'd grown alarming accustomed to taking in massive amounts of information everyday - multi-tasking on the WWW. Hey that sounds like a hook! especially if you pronounce it wuh wuhwuwuh, dispensing with the full pronunciation of the "double U"
So I have been very active not at all as I imagined my quiet January and February would progress. I had vowed not o look too hard for work right away and make for myself a lovely healthy and daily yoga practicing schedule whereby I would also be a lovely little housewife all while self-educating and researching what my new earning role will be.
Thanks to the random magnetic goodness of the JJP I met a really cool woman who just happened to be very established in a field that I sort of drunkenly admitted that I'd be so very interested in working. If not for Julie's big wake on the very day I happened to get laid off, coupled with complimentary dirty martinis - fortifying my bravado I never would have told people I'd just met about my secretish inklings for the future. Glad I did ! This Interior Designer invited me to visit her office in January to get a feel for the job. We ended up talking alot, checking out super cool designer resources (The D&D Building, aiyiyiyi), she bought me lunch and then offered me a really cool opportunity.
She offered me an opportunity to learn and work in the trade - of course as an intern initially but HEY that's what severance is for, right? But hopefully it will either turn into or lead to some really inspiring work opportunities. And hopefully those opportunities will give me a decent living plus free time to continue being the person I want to grow into. A person who can go to the odd daytime audition without sneaky fake sick days and fear of getting busted, a person who has free time to cook the occasional dinners at home, banana breads what have you. A person who could potentially do yoga at least twice a week. A person who could do those things she finds fueling and still have time for her honey... I was under some sort of strange corporate chainmail-afraid and sort of enslaved to the paycheck...I still feel good and free and not too freaked out about survival. It helps that my good buddy put a great word in where he temps and they are calling me almost too much for 5 hour shifts here and there. Why five hours -its just enough pay to make it worth not getting the unemployment for that day. On top of all this I've signed up for my first college course since the EARLY 90s. It is a continuing education, Intro to interior design course that will run for 10 classes one night a week (Tuesday) and its over by 8:30 BUT boy am I nervous that I'll screw it up. The first class is next Tuesday, I promise I'll report. In the midst of all of this I realize I feel auspicious, lucky and blessed to recognize my luck. for example my heavily laden new canal street coach bag completely broke on the sidewalk on the way to my internship yesterday and my first thought was _"How fortunate that didn't happen on the subway platform, goodness!"
And that my dear reader (hee) is what I have been up to...
