Bills, laundry, dishes, junk mail even, it never ends, continuous cycles we must commit ourselves to over and over again. All the while trying to find ways to be ourselves and shine through the mundane redundancy of daily life. Routines and familiar ways start to become jaded, tainted with the tedious aroma of "here we go again." Sometimes I just don't want to force myself to deal with these things, the boring intricacies of life, but if I don't, who else will? This is what comes with growing up. This is adulthood. (insert dundundun here).
Lessons learned become the way of direction around here. We deal with these things because we have to. They are our right of passage to our freedom. Though I believe true freedom would entail no attachment to material items and the bills we have to pay to keep them. Freedom from relying on others, our parents? Yes. We become our own through these annoying little responsibilities. Good enough for me. I'll take independence over dependency any day.

It's a strange week so far. Much on my mind. Much to figure out. Much to organize. Much to attempt. Much to complete. Much to start. Much. Much. Much. I have and will have more new artsy things to share and some journal work soon. My mind has been clouded lately with life struggles. I'm trying to land just the right job that will offer a set stable schedule that I can work around going back to school. Kind of feeling stuck, job hunting is the sucky and most discouraging when all i would like to do is receive a nice weekly paycheck so I can go to school and pay my bills. Patience is seeming overrated these days as well. Hanging in there, hanging on.

EDIT: Holy goodness. I just got a call back from the job that I had been hoping and wishing to get since last month. I have an interview Friday, and to think, I was practically giving up on that company. An interview with them usually means hire, so this is a great big joyous step in the right direction (plus I've got a referral to work there too). Funny thing is, for the past few weeks or so, I've been feeling really down and discouraged about my job hunt, feeling like I'd have to resort to a job I'd hate, like another one in retail or the food industry. I can't believe they finally called me. I squealed with so much joy that I scared Littlebones and she ran under the bed. Eeep! :)
It was a good weekend, went by fast though.
+ friends on friday
+ denny's run at 2 am
+ doubles tennis match
+ planning the first camping trip
+ early quiet mornings
+ fruit baked to sweetness
+ backyard adventures
+ super duper weather
+ making the best steak sandwich around
+ pizza and cheese sticks!
+ i love food
- missing plans to go into the city at night because
i fell asleep out of sheer exhaustion.
- leg muscles aching from intense tennis volleying
- falling behind on emails and chores
Much to do, much to do, and much to share. Creative work has slowly been taking over my life when it can. I have some new pieces to share soon once I get around to scanning.
Hope everyone else had a sunny and happy weekend!
Much Love,
Mae Jane
P.S. All daily photos will be listed in the top right sidebar in corresponding sets on Flickr, I may or may not post all of them here on a daily basis, I don't want to overload the interweb with fur! Though, the sets will always be updated. :)
Usually my camera is glued to my hand. Yet, I missed Thursday. How I didn't take even a single photo yesterday blows my mind. I kind of think I was abducted for a few hours because I can't recall much of what happened yesterday. I blame the migraines. Or aliens. Or both. Maybe the aliens create the migraines. Stupid aliens. Either way, here are the ones from Wednesday and today.
I don't like that I missed a whole day for my simple daily photo quest, (I refuse to start and never finish a new project, a bad habit which I'm trying to overcome). So I will take two extra photos today, rather tonight, and even though I missed a day, the numbers will be caught up. :)
