March has been an eventful--and plentiful--month. I haven't written in awhile because I've been coasting along on a bumpy road the past few months. Though I regret none of the decisions I have recently made, decisions nonetheless come with a price. That price in my specific circumstances has been three months of unemployment, dwindling savings, and a constant low-level stress that stemmed from wondering how I'm ever going to get a job and have money again.
However, as they usually do, things have started to work out.
I went from zero leads on employment to four interviews, a job offer and a temp job offer in the span of a week. So yes, starting today (in about an hour), I officially become employed again.
I will soon be moving into a new house that will provide me with more space--and therefore a better environment to keep my head space clean as well. Nothing like a good physical space to keep the head space clean.
I started the health insurance process, and was told yesterday that I am eligible for the Oregon Health Plan--free health insurance for a year! Never have I been a member of any social service, but when it comes to health insurance I'll take free over paying the $150 per month I'd otherwise have to pay.
I have found a lovely partner in crime in my life, and hope this relationship continues to develop and grow.
Spring has arrived--with the sunshine, green leaves and blooming flowers to prove it.
I joined the ranks of the smart phone owners. Turns out, I was eligible for a free upgrade!
My Korean friend, whom I've also been tutoring, has offered to give me a bicycle for free. It was given to him for free and he already has one, so it's soon to be mine!
I've had an amazing string of visits--my two best friends from Eugene, one of my closest friends from my Korea days, and three others who I know from Korea have all passed through separately this month. I sure know a lot of great people :)
Ultimate frisbee starts soon--can't wait!
AND, I get to celebrate my birthday in a few weeks...
Life is looking up.
