Okay, so I've been crazy busy this week. I moved into my new apartment- and I'm loving it! It's a large studio in Midtown. I have been settling into it all this week- and the next few weeks for sure. It's been a little hectic, but not too overwhelming, so that's good. My only big thing to still figure out is how/when I'm going to hang up all my paintings/pictures. There are terracotta bricks insulating the walls of my apartment building. That means the regular hammer and nail job isn't going to work. I'm going to need a drill. A real, tool guy drill.
Otherwise, it's been good. I got all the furniture moved and delivered in a timely fashion. I've been putting everything in its new place. I still have some stuff at home and I'm working on seeing what I can bring over, what needs to be stored in the attic, and what just needs to be donated/trashed. I realized that I have been hoarding for years, so this will not be an easy task. But, I have some free time right now, so I will try to get through as much of it as I can over the summer.
Job wise, I have been applying to plenty of places and am now working on scheduling interviews. I have a few good leads, and I'm very hopeful about those. Please, keep me in your prayers and let me know if you hear about any openings. I appreciate all the help and tips I've gotten so far. Y'all are simply amazing.
I had a nice weekend. I've been showing off my new apartment to lots of people- it's like a new toy. I went to an event raising money for Playhouse on the Square on Friday and had a lot of fun chatting with all the different people. My cousin, her daughter, my grandmother, and I went to lunch at Stone Soup yesterday. We had a good time catching up and making plans for the summer. Last night, I saw the movie The Sapphires. It was very good, I definitely recommend going to see it if you get the chance. It's about an Aboriginal girls' soul group that tours with the USO during the Vietnam War. It made me laugh, cry, and want to dance.This morning, I went to brunch with a friend- and I got to walk to it since it was just a few blocks from my new apartment.
