5 00 pm pst   [ not early ]

My love said he'd try to come home early today but I think we both know that he won't. Living closer to work gives him an excuse to stay longer.

I had a second interview for a teaching position today. The offered me the job and mailed me the contract today. Benefits, after three years without them... what can I say besides that I really want them. They want me to take evening classes and get certified, which I'm amenable to as long as Matthew doesn't have a fit. He was negative about me taking the job -- yes, teach does suck in the pay department, but I think we both know that I'd love it. During my first interview they mentioned two-year-olds (this is a preschool) but today they offered me a class (with two other teachers) of four-year-olds, which I'd much prefer. It will be an adventure, any way you slice it.

By the way, everyone who dropped a few dollars in the tip jar, sent words of encouragement, or said that you missed me while I was having trouble updating... thank you so much! It really meant a lot to me. You each made me feel not so alone, even when I was.

I love my moon light. It was the first piece of "furniture" I bought (if it can be called that). I got it when I was a freshman in college from a store called Viking Trader.

four years ago today: Tomorrow is my last day in LA.

three years ago today: His answer was long, and I had difficulty saying it when I tried to repeat it.

two years ago today: I have learned to love the flavor that delights Matthew so.

one year ago today: I'm having one of those awful icky sick days.
