Today has been filled with lots of little victories!
Background:
Michael's been away most days at the Portland Rescue Mission this week, and, as he puts it, I've been "without a playmate." I bake and bike and read, which is fun. But summers are always difficult for me in that I don't have many people to hang around. I also get this weird, "Gotta get away" panic when I'm around new people--not all the time, but more so when I'm not a good place spiritually.
So, this week has been lonely as well as rife with the question, "How, exactly, am I suppossed to meet people?" Work and church are the usual answers, but no work (yet)and no church (yet).
But today!:
But today I got a call from one of the first positions I applied for and they'd "like to move forward with my candidacy." Translation: interview! It would be an editor position (yay!) but only $15-17 (not yay). However, a foot in the door is a foot in the door.
Also, I found this great website for meeting up with people based on interests: www.meetup.com. It's like Facebook and Craig's List had a baby. I might be going with a group tomorrow to check out a farmer's market and then have a picnic lunch. There's also a really cool book group that meets at a pub!
Afterwards:
And now, I celebrate. Rustic Italian Bread is baking in the oven and I'm listening to a fun, silly audiobook with dragons and dopplegangers. What a good day!
(And you know what Michael prayed this morning for me: "Lord, please give Bethany something unique and different for today" while I added, "And [something] good" (just in case). But God, like Domino's Pizza, delivers.)
