It has been eons since I last wrote a blog post.
Okay, maybe not eons, I don't even know how long an eon is, but it has been half a year. Hard to believe, that half a year has passed. When I was a child half a year seemed like an eternity, and now it passes by in the blink of an eye. It's not as if the past six months have been filled with excitement and activity. One month was - it contained our wedding and European honeymoon. The rest was filled with the mundane stuff of life as an unemployed woman: workouts, putting off workouts, applying to jobs, being excited about job interviews, being disappointed when jobs fall through, reading, tv viewing, chocolate eating, sanity questioning and napping.
I first started this blog as a lead into the 'novel' I was planning on releasing. I quickly grew very discouraged with that, realized I am an average writer at best, and that my only feasible option was to self publish. If I did, sure some family and friends would fulfill their obligation to read and buy my work, but why put one more obligation on them in a life full of obligations? Wouldn't that be somewhat selfish of me? Or perhaps I'm making excuses for my lazy self who got so off track from her goal.
Whatever the cause, my manuscript is currently in the back of my closet. Maybe I"ll go back to it sometime, maybe I won't. The fact is I'm not an incredibly driven person. My largest ambition is to be happy and that is my focus right now. To get out of this unemployment rut I'm in, and get back to feeling useful and productive in my everyday life. I'm happy with my husband, I'm happy with my home, and I'm happy with certain aspects of everyday life, but I am not happy with my job (or lack thereof). So off to the job boards I go, hopefully I'll blog again before six more months pass.
