The next few weeks of my life promise to be very interesting. I hope to find an apartment on Saturday (and sign the lease), give full notice to my employer on Monday, and then begin to move (without stopping work until the end) at a slow trickle as soon as I have keys. I've gotten more nibbles on the job front recently, and I hope that at least one of them turns into a bite. Thanks to cancelling the O'Reilly trip, I'll have some decent amount of savings to live off of until I get the first paycheck of my next stream of revenue. Or, I could fail somehow in this move, and end up feeling really stupid. Still, I am enthusiastic, in success or failure. The joy of having found someone dear to me shall be the Pepto to my queasy stomach. There is a joy in the application of one's will, and making changes to one's life. The cycle of the phoenix, my pseudomystical theme, continues. I know the coming cold, but know that I shall be reborn in some form in the near future.

Bleh. I just was going to say 'keep your eye peeled', but then I saw that it would be thematically inappropriate for the tone. Also, it's terribly disgusting. Peeling an eye would .. ugh.

I am amused -- I like mixing these two (now three) tones together in one entry. It reminds us that every person has many aspects, and posturing/hiding the sides is limiting.

Back to work!
