I usually write an update every night before I go to bed. Lately I’ve felt like my updates have been lacking – like I don’t really have much to say and what I do have to say isn’t very interesting or important. When I went to bed last night I decided I’d wait and update something in the morning (now afternoon) to see if switching things up couldn’t help things a bit.

I’ve finally figured things out for the immediate future. On Friday I’m leaving Minneapolis. I’m going to drive to Chicago and stay with a friend there for a couple days and then drive out to DC to stay with my cousin. I’ll probably stay with my cousin for about a week and then I’ll drive to NJ once my friends have closed on their house. I’m looking forward to a much needed change. With any luck new opportunities will spring up that I’ll be able to work into some kind of long term arrangement to financially support myself. I will never go back to a cubicle, but I can’t live on my credit cards forever. Hopefully I’ll be getting unemployment money soon. That will at least take some of the pressure off. This not having any money coming in is stressful. Super stressful.

Gratitude List:
People willing to let me stay with them.
New beginnings and opportunities.
The ability to continue learning.
