It is suddenly warm and where once lay snow, there is cherry blossom, which Precious is far far less averse to. (Precious is currently trying to eat one of my toes). I've been getting in some outdoor time with Grendel; there seems to be this healthy living contagion in the air, and my active endeavours will hopefully soon be joined by two of our friends (by which I mostly mean M's friends, story of my IRL). And I'm eating less crap, and notably less meat, than usual.
I have an honest-to-god Easter weekend to luxuriate in, albeit pushed-back a step (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). I want to game and write and dance about outside all at once.
Gaming; is Dragon Age, and even the lowest of the graphics settings have caused my ageing rig to tits-up twice (one overheating crash, one sudden failure of mouse drivers that forced me to alt+f4). I DON'T CARE, IT IS STILL FUN. My little dwarf thug is currently in prison, ironically not for any of the things she has actually done wrong. I guess this is supposed to make her sympathetic or something.
Writing; it involves, among other things, a dismantled ethernet cable and a 99c bag full of tiny squares of mirrorglass that I purchased from my workplace recently. I have no idea how well it will work in practice, mind. It is one of those crazy things I should have planned in advance, but am instead just throwing at the wall to see if it sticks.
Outside; falling cherry blossom, trying to connect to my locality with my feet because it's the only thing that ever bloody works, realising through this how big it is and how much I've missed even immediately nearby. It's swung from far too cold to far too hot very rapidly; I turned the heating a little under a month ago, and we already have all the fans going full blast and I am so not going to achieve my goal of not using AC until June :/ Also, many chance encounters with our next-door neighbour. I am not sure if I have mentioned him before. He's a young, black, tattooed hippy, and seems like a perfectly sweet human being. He is also totally gorgeous. There is no need to celebrate the arrival of warm weather in this instance because he was going outdoors in sleeveless tops when there was snow on the ground, too. ♥
(That said, I am seriously craving girls lately. No idea why.)
Job B ends a week on Thursday. Yeah, I'm panicking about money. Getting my bonus from job b will help tide me over a bit, but now I need to start some serious jobhunting, I still can't drive (I was learning steadily until I started working 50-55hrs/week in Feb and even once that dropped to 30-35ish we never got back in the groove. Yes, I fail), and my resume still kinda sucks.
I really don't know what to do about this. Options are either a) nothing and scrimp while I learn to drive, b) find a new job b, possibly evening shifts at a cafe or restaurant, which I would hate and hopefully not have to do for long which would make them hate me, or c) find a job that could replace both a and b and which was compatible with M's schedule. c) is so not going to happen. :( And I hate jobhunting svfm. And I hate trying to save up when I don't have any money. I will hate spending money even more than usual, I guess, as there is absolutely nothing in the world worth spending money on right now when I could be saving it up to get back to London where I could talk to multiple people who actually have some vague idea who I am.
