It’s been a rough week overall. I have very supportive friends that are helping me through being out of work, but then I found out that I’m not eligible for unemployment this quarter. If I file in September, then I am eligible, but right now I don’t have enough hours. It’s a screwy system that isn’t making my life easier. This makes my job hunt more urgent. I bathed myself in misery yesterday, wallowed in the impossibility, and then pulled myself up by the bootstraps and got to working through my feelings of hopelessness.I also managed to take a shower, which is a huge thing when one is depressed.

Miss C showed me my birthday present yesterday It’s freaking beautiful. I don’t know the artist’s name (help me out C!!) but once I take a picture you will love it. It’s a print by a modern artist who took the “Last Supper” by DaVinci and turned it on its ear. It’s the last supper in McDonalds. Trust me, it’s fucking amazing.

While wandering around Portland, in search for a place to satisfy my Duny collecton, Miss C found this place, and we’ve been going there ever since. They have a gallery where they show modern artists, and that was where we found this person. It’s a great place. The staff are really nice (especially the guy in the gallery that we talked to) and they have Dunys. It’s a happy place.

I’ve blanketed Portland with my resume. I haven’t written much at all because I’m so freaked out about the money, but my job right now is to write the novel, work out, and get the doggies in better shape. Valentine’s thing will work itself out. We will do what we have to do, but for now, I need to write, apply to 3 jobs that interested me, and then get some serious writing done. Oh, and I am due to head to the library because my mentor assigned me a few books.

D and I are going to see the Dark Knight tonight. I can’t wait.

Hope your week has gone well…..
