because the times, they are a-changin'

A friend recently told me that before you can make any changes, you need to put the X,Y,Z "into existence".

So what does that mean? Putting-something-into-existence means this: before you can tackle a problem, you need to name it. Before you can achieve your goal, you need to identify it.

So before I can get a job in a new city & relocate, I need to make a list and start crossing things off my list.

So today that's what I did... spent the day on the telephone, making calls, writing things down, writing notes, putting them in a more digital form by typing notes into Word documents inside a 'job stuff' folder... and asked my 2nd person for a letter of recommendation.  (also have a plan for the others - I think it'll work!)

Things are rolling, and my time frame seems to have crept up rather quickly - much more fast than I originally thought. but it must be the right thing, because at this point I seem to be ok with things... just getting the few answers I needed today was a huge help in the right direction.  And President Obama's stimulus package with the 8K housing credit for first-time buyers helps too (which is over @ end of April)

In other news, it's 12:15am, my feet are freezing cold, and I cannot sleep. didn't even nap today...so what's up with my circadian rhythm? maybe I'm just excited. or relieved. or, perhaps, i just want to arrive at work totally dazed and confused..which will happen if i don't get off this computer. I'm fully aware of sleepy hygiene recommendations: don't turn on lights, don't watch TV or use computer 1/2 hour before bedtime, go to sleep before 10pm so you don't catch a second wind, tell your brain to stop thinking so you can get some shut eye...

I'll work on it.

Until then, sleep well and enjoy your day/evening ahead!

p.s. why do boys/men sometimes lose brain cells and cease communications when it comes to me? they make me tired. and want to become a nun! (although i look dreadful in black. maybe i could start a new order of nuns...sporting greens & browns - and red!)
