One more week! I can't wait to see my SO, for a real, honest-to-goodness amount of time. Speaking of "SO" I know there are several of you that have cute nicknames for them rather than just "the SO," or "BF" or whatever - I should work on that. Maybe music related? Riff? Anyhow - back to my topic.

I have to be all packed up by Thursday and classic procrastinator, I have hardly started. I don't think I want to admit to myself that I'm leaving and this (academic) year is ending. It sounds silly, but I'm so shit at ends of things.

I don't know updates on the SO's job situation yet, but I'm betting on him being gone Monday through Friday. It will be okay, and I won't have to feel guilty about going and doing my own stuff. But it would be nice to see him a little more often - I know his mother will want to see him when he's back home, too, as well as any friends who are around. I think it's really nice that his family lives pretty close to him, but they can be a little...overbearing seems extreme, but definitely pushy.

I haven't got a job yet. UGH. Not even an interview! I like to think that having some time just to relax and do whatever I'd like (sew bunny-shaped lavender sachets for all our shoes!) would be a blast, though if I am going to be honest with myself I'd likely go crazy. (Not to mention get almost nothing done. I am self-motivated when busy, not so much when I could 'take it or leave it.') I don't know what else to do, I've submitted applications everywhere I can find openings and talked to the few people I could count as "networks" to no avail. Clearly I'm undesirable. I guess I could do some cold-calls, but that scares me a little bit for no logical reason - the worst they can say is that they aren't hiring, right? Fingers crossed that once I've got my degree and am looking for a "career" job I'll have a bit more luck, though I wouldn't mind some luck right now too!

We have decided against the rental this summer (due to jobbies) so I've got a little extra cash, but I'm going to stow it away so I don't spend it all on dresses. Part of my "packing" so far has been to donate a good bunch that I don't wear anymore, hopefully I don't retaliate and buy more new ones. (Darnit, I know I will a little. I'll try to contain myself.)

Well....I should run off now. I have so much to do and all I'm craving is to curl up and sleep for 16 hours. I think the first thing I'll be doing next week will be parking in the driveway, waving to the SO (maybe a hug, kiss too if he'll lean down) and crawl into his bed for a nice nap. How romantic.
