New Job

Well, I went and got myself a job which starts on Monday. It has been a challenging, and at some points, difficult three months of job hunting, but the work paid off and I will be gainfully employed.

I did wonder if the change to my employment status played a part on the latest jobs report.

But with the new job came a reality, which was that we are staying in California.

I know that living in California was the plan all along, but everything still felt up in the air until I found a job. Now that I have one, we can let out a sign of relief and also start planning for a future here.

And the planning was the part I had been holding off on. I didn’t know where I was going to be working, if we needed to get another car, or if we had to move, again, so that our commutes were reasonable.

Now, its decided.

Now we have to start thinking about schools and all of those other things. Local elections and festivals, and relaxing weekends in the mountains.

But for me…

The thing I get to start planning is a study/art studio. Oh, that creative thing that I couldn’t have in New York, as our apartment was too small. Bookshelves to put my books on, and a desk to create at.

A little thing, but something that I have been wanting to do for 20 years.
