Sometimes I forget...

Sometimes, if I go long enough without seeing people I care about, I forget how much I miss them and need them in my life. It's a strange thing since it becomes so easy to live in the routine. Work, home, sleep, work. But it was so nice seeing you, and it made me miss you so much! It doesn't make sense that seeing people makes me miss them, but it's really true. I miss telling you about my day and hearing about yours and knowing what's going on in your life. I miss talking about things that are important and spending just as long talking about our refrigerator.

Annnyywayyy,

So the only thing that's new in my life is really neither new nor is it a 'thing,' but I'm trying to find a way to go work in London for a few months. As you know, it's something I've wanted to do forever. I've joined a few Facebook group and gotten in touch with a few people over there. The main obstacle is a Visa. I could go for a few months on a travel Visa, but if I want to work, I basically need a full-time job that will sponsor me. Soooo it might not happen. But I feel good about putting the effort in. I've actually put in a bunch of time researching and reading about it, plus I put together my resume and started sending it out. None of this means I will actually get a job, but it's feels nice to be doing something anyway. Yesterday I even talked to my boss about it, which makes it feel more real in a scary way.

My job got extended to May - which is good- but I was like sooooo I'm trying to do this London thing and if something pops up I'm going to have to do it. And even though it's months away and I still don't have an actual end date she was still like "well, you'll need to give me notice." UM DUH. I think I'm going to also need a couple of weeks to, you know, figure out where to live and stuff, but definitely your thing is more important. Anyway, she also thought it was cool and I definitely should do it but I thought it was funny how everything at Chopped is always up in the air and she felt the need to stake her claim.

My co-workers have been helping me too. It's really nice that everyone has some connections, but the job thing, like I said, is the biggest obstacle, so now I really need to kick it into gear if I want it to happen. By the way, this was why I wasn't sure about the wedding in May. I do want you to come if I'm not in London :)
