( 4:17 PM ) shut up christine
i am finally at a place, professionally
where i am making decent money
i am sitting on the floor of our apartment and for once, everything was bought with our own money
we can pay our bills and set aside a chunk for savings and emergencies
and there's still some disposable income left over to be comfortable
it's true that money gives you freedom
i see something that i want and i can........buy it
i bought four pairs of shoes in four months (holy crap who am i)
we can afford that trip to japan we've been dreaming about (finally going in march)
but i miss that feeling of being kinda broke
if i wanted something, i'd have to think about it for a few days, and then save up for however many weeks/months
when we lived in LA, our tv only had 4 working channels
it's just different now, you know?
also
i am not so happy at my job
i'm doing case management
basically i work in an office
it's kinda stressful. i may have an ulcer
and the commute is brutal (almost two hours each way)
but it's a job and it pays well & i would be stupid to complain
i have to convince myself that this kind of work is still as important and valuable
just in a different way
i told my boss my dreams, she supports my decision to go
i know what i want to do will pay less, but i need to do it for my sanity and happiness
i don't know what my work situation will be 3 or 6 months from now
i'll check back in a year
