kimberkitWhew, well... I committed to the Swedish Institute today. Yikes. The thought of committing that much money and time scares me a lot, but I think... I think I'll be happy as a massage therapist, even though the work will be hard.
Meanwhile, my main computer died again, which annoys me, since I just got it repaired; and I'll prolly just give up and be out of touch for a few days.
The store attempted to ask whether I'd take a paycut; I politely refused, and so, just in case they try to hardball it, I'll need a replacement venue. Which really means that Kim really needs to be compiling lists of potential students and sending out mailings pimping herself as a tutor. I could try to sell myself as a web designer, but I'm afraid that that sort of work would be more uneven, and I'm not even really sure about how to get the marketing started there.
Um. So that's the bad news. But in good news, I Craigslisted my old microwave, and some nice lady will be picking it up from me and donating it to her students. I got 2 boxes of books packed (yay!), I'm hoping to pack more, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sir_graeme generously offered to help move some of Neil's belongings in on Monday/Tuesday.
I feel like I'm scared and stressed, but hanging in there. And I know that (despite not having my parents' emotional support) I do have Neil. And Neil helps me to believe that everything's going to be fine. Just having someone to cry on when all the stress builds up helps enormously.
I am grateful every day that Neil is there to lend his incredible sense of acceptance and understanding and plain joy in being alive to me.
