Ok, Kate I'll write again....

So I've been back for 3 weeks now....and I haven't done anything. I have a job but haven't picked up any freelance assignments yet, and another one that I'm waiting to send me a test.....but I don't really want either one. I try to write but everything I want to say is just depressing. 

Tomorrow we are going to Santa Barbara then Big Sur....we're sleeping in the van, and bringing the dog. The only thing I want to do is travel around. Maybe I should just DO that....

IDK. I'm in a funk. Write back!

    Funks are here for a reason, they make us dwell on the depressing shit so we can face it and stew in it and process it. I say write it out! Don't every worry about being too depressing for me. HAVE YOU MET ME?

 Yes, I have been writing every day. It's just that some days I write and write and clever things come out of my brain, and some days I stare at a blank screen for an hour and I feel like a total failure. What I'm succeeding at is making myself stare at the blank screen for an hour instead of escaping into TikTok. I don't think I'm producing anything good but I'm creating a habit, maybe?   So one of the things I was trying to write was what was supposed to be an allegorical short story about a woman getting stuck in a tunnel of memories of her dog that she failed and then killed, and being so sad but also not wanting to leave because that's her only connection to him.  But apparently, I don't have the energy or time or gumption or talent to make that happen.  So then I thought maybe it should just be a personal essay about a real girl stuck in a metaphorical pit of despair.   Sounds fun, doesn't it? That'll getcha guffawing in a cafe. I'm always ...

 first of all what's with all the flatulence on a plane? i feel so bad for the guy sitting next to me - who may or may not have been ben affleck. something about air pressure makes all the gas in your body escape - so i was letting it rip for about 15 hours straight - all the while thinking no one could hear because we were in the back of the plane - the lovely last row- and i certainly couldn't hear anything. but then when we were almost arriving in Melbourne i realized to my absolute horror that i had been wearing headphones - better yet those foam things that you curl up and shove in ur ear and then they expand . going through check in just now leaving Melbourne i had to go through security and i got there and realized i had two sips of water and started to guzzle and the very kind woman behind the counter was like, "oh, no dear you don't have to drink it, just put it in the bin. no need to take anything out of your bags, either. leave your shoes on. lovely . then i...

MV back to LA

 Hi Kate  So today I had an interview with Elevate K-12 for a Science Content Writer. It went great. Then I got an email from the Kitten Rescue place I signed up to volunteer at, asking if I could transport kittens from the west side of the Valley to downtown LA. I said yes. Of course. Now I'm waiting to see when they need me to pick up the kittens.  It was fun interviewing in an ironed blue linen shirt, but without pants on. The girl interviewing me was in Scotland but from New Hampshire. She was nice.
