Avoidance

I've been successfully avoiding the yoga studio this month. I went to a class this past Monday. So that makes a whopping 2 classes this month! In yoga's absence I've been attempting to go for more walks and wear my pedometer each day (slightly more successful with this goal). Today I AM going to yoga even though I have a list of reasons I'd like not to go: I have a sore throat, I'm hungry and want to eat right NOW, I'm tired, and...you get the picture. But in a half hour I will start the process of getting ready and I will go. I know afterwords I'll be happy I went and feel better about myself.

Still looking for work. I didn't fully appreciate how bad the job market is. Now I do. I've had a couple interviews, a rejection, and one or two promising leads. It's possible I could have an offer in the next week and that means I will have to do one of the things I hate most: make a decision. It's become apparent to me that the perfect job is not going to just fall from the sky. I'm going to have to accept that something about my new job will not be ideal: the hours, the commute, the benefits, the pay, etc. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad fit. What I have to do is figure out what IS a deal breaker for me, and there in lies the decision making. Blerg.

In other news, I have this overwhelming urge to cut my hair off. Maybe it's because summer has finally arrived in Seattle or I just want a change. My knitting is going OK...I currently have four active projects and am trying to focus only on them and not start anything new. Not as easy as it sounds!
