Unemployed, Day 15 - 18.

Day 15

walk the dog 405 clubToday I’m grateful for this beautiful weather, which gave me a wonderful walk today with with my dogs.

I’m happy that I still have health insurance, and will for a bit. I had a great conversation with a mentor today. He is a wonderful person, and the best part is I always know where i stand with him. Thanks for the advice — and for making me smile.

I’m also grateful for a wonderful email from a friend in Los Angeles who sent out a job seeking email to her contacts in Seattle.

Day 16

I had my first “interview” today. I used quotes because well. It wasn’t an interview — It was a sales pitch. I apparently found my limit. How do I miss the music industry. I didn’t even realize that I would miss it. Until i sat in an office this morning with a man telling me about selling insurance.

It is a beautiful day today! I love, love this weather. Plus our days are getting longer again — which is so fun. I miss the longer days. Last night I hung-out with my cousins. We played darts. I’m quite bad at darts.

Today - i’m just applying and applying for jobs. So many jobs out there no calls back. But I know something has to work out. I have hope.

Day 17


“If we fall, we don’t need self-recrimination or blame or anger - we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to re-commit, to be whole-hearted once again.” — Sharon Salzber

Day 18

I decided to stay with my family for a bit when I first moved back to Seattle so I could save money faster and buy a place. I was tired of renting, and if they let me live for free it wasn’t a big deal. Thank god I choose this. however, I stay up late when my father works at 5am. Which means, if he decides to go into the garage I’m awake and not able to go back to sleep. Ugh. I’ve been up since 4:30 and I was unable to go back to sleep. I just laid there. Staring at the ceiling telling myself “go back to sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep” It did not work.

Today is another beautiful day in Seattle. I don’t see a cloud in the sky. Last night I tie-dyed a shirt for a funeral / memorial service for a family friend.

I really wish, someone would email me back or call me for an interview. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
