Things are at a bit of a lull right now. I am super restless - I have plenty to do but it is items that are not necessarily inspiring. I think, "oh I would like to go home" but then I think "what would I do once I got there?" Dishes, laundry, cleaning up...but that desperately needs to get done. I am supposed to meet one of my friends I have not met in a while for drinks. We always have a fabulous time, but I am exhausted right now.
I think this time of year is really hard for people. My co-worker is exhausted too and it isn't like the stress is unbelievable around here. I am handling my sister's move amazingly well. I found $88 round-trip tickets to go see her in October. Very exciting! My friends have rallied around me as has my family. I think it is good that she left because it makes me appreciate how much love and support I have here.
No updates on the new job front. One of my friends is forwarding my resume and cover letter to a lobbyist group that would be fun to work for. I am glad I have some time to prepare for my big move! Maybe they will want to interview me...

L'amore non dorme mai
"Love never sleeps". Thank you, oh buff gondolier. I don't know what to comment on this statement. Hmmmmm, maybe inspiration will hit me later.
So I asked my boss for a raise today and told him if I got the raise, I would not look for a new job in this State. I was very frank with him and told him my resume is floating around the DC area and it would continue to float around out there. I am only asking for a 14% raise!
I need to buy my cheap tickets to see my sis, but I keep hoping I'll have a job interview. Maybe if I buy the tickets, it will guarantee an interview. Way to be supersticious. And a poor speller.
I have been super down about my sis leaving, but am ready for it to just happen. I am sincerely hoping the waiting is indeed the hardest part. Tonight is the last night as a family all together. I fear there will be many tears, which means swollen eyes tomorrow and my boss saying, "are you tired or something?". I already took tomorrow morning off because I don't know how I will be considering she literally drives away tomorrow. Maybe I will be punctual and the work will be a good distraction...we can hope. I don't know what to expect from myself or our friendship. The bond will not be broken; most likely, it will be strengthened. Maybe I am too dependent on her and her boyfriend. Maybe a great weight will be lifted. Or maybe I will just cry.
