Almased

So I had my three meals of Almased today. The best shake I made was the one in which I added cocoa powder. It was really good. I tried adding cinnamon which was nice, and pumpkin pie spice, but the chocolate was the best. I got really hungry this afternoon, but this morning and this evening has been fine. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Handed out another resume today. Hopefully I'll get a call back. Sending more emails tomorrow. Looked up a lot today and found very little. Why can't I just get a contract? That would be so much nicer. I have a friend on one of the cruise ships docking in San Diego and I'd love to break away and go take a free cruise for two weeks, but I need to make enough money in one month to justify no job hunting and some money spending for two weeks and so far that hasn't happened.

Watched Funny Face again this evening. It's such a happy and s'wonderful (lol) movie!!!!  I spent a lot of time looking for dance meetups and events near me today. Then this afternoon after I'd found a couple I'd go to I realized my right arm isn't healed enough to start spinning around and be yanked back and forth. Not that I'm really yanked, but I still have to be treated gently. Grrr. I'll wait another week and see how it feels. It's still really weak but the mobility is almost there.

I managed to get all the clothes I'll be wearing here all put into drawers and the closet and the laundry done so I think I'm moved in officially. It's weird. I don't like the feeling, but I do. I like not living out of bags and backpacks for a little bit; to have my stuff all where I can see it like I would on a cruise ship, but I don't like the fact that I'm not on the move. It's a good place where I'm at, but I hate being tied down. I guess this place is better than many others and after I make some friends I might like it for a little while. But if I get any chance to travel again; see ya later!!!!!

Anyone out there have a job for me? Housing included :) ? Music related, dance related. creative, organizational?

moved in on the new couch

So I've claimed my new couch for the next few days. It will be where I sleep, work, nap, sometimes eat, chill, and that's about all I can do right now. All the rest of my stuff outside my largest tub, my tub of music, and my file crate is all moved in and ready for use. I'm feeling like I should be exhausted, but I have a little more energy than expected although I'm not jumping up for anything exciting. I still need to make the 2.5 mile trek to the metrolink station to get maps and time schedules.

Can't wait till I can get up and out again. Maybe tomorrow I'll walk to the library (which is open on Sunday!!!!) and take a nap there in a chair by their fireplace and read a magazine. Still working on getting a job. The email I had sent out to my one contact here in LA came back negative so I'm back to square one on starting a piano trio group out here that I could potentially get work with. Arg.

I feel a nap and some more cl searching and email writing ahead....

moving to Irvine

After a day of getting off the couch once for a pee break and some grapes to curb the hunger craving I've finally gotten "up", bit my lip for the pain, took a pill (which I'm convinced is a placebo for it's lack of pain killing capabilities) and loaded up my car to head to Irvine tomorrow morning. But first I have a job interview to be a ... dog walker!!! That will pull in less than a hundred bucks a week, but it's something at least.

Back to sitting on the couch now that the car is full and enjoying dinner, then it's bedtime so I can wake up refreshed for tomorrow. I'm ready to move on. New places, new faces, new chances.
