Thursday, 28 February 2013 13:16There's been a fair amount of winter rain this week, which is hands down, my least favorite weather. It's also why I prefer to live somewhere winter precipitation is more likely to be snow instead of rain. Of course, it also zaps productivity which is not good when I have paper proposals due Friday.
I did have a great 2+ hour chat with the priest at the parish I'm shopping this past Sunday. She has a similar history to me (progressive Roman Catholic turned Episcopalian who once thought of becoming a nun). Very low key but with the high theology underpining it all. There's a good chance I might be able to find a community there. Which is promising. She also commented on my vocation in a way that's helping with my current disillusionment / reaching my rope's end.
Also, I have jobs! Two days a week, I'll be nannying for my cousin's youngest, Kiara, who is just shy of 12 weeks at the moment. Two days a week, I'll be working in Hartford for the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut doing communications stuff for them. I know my boss there wants me, even if she's worried about the commute and that the job will be too boring for me. But at this point, I just need a job to stay in Boston and to fill up the resume so that there's something besides 'freelancing volunteer stuff' over the last 9 months.
Started nannying this week, which is a bit rough since K isn't quite bottle trained yet, so it's touch and go and she's nursing a cold. Next week starts the job in CT.
The two jobs won't totally pay the bills, but they'll come close, which is good. And I'll have Friday's off. Still waiting to hear from some full time jobs (and have more to apply for) and should hear from grad schools sometime in March. (Doing my best not to be obsessive about that.
Anyway, ( to-do list )
