I feel again, like I'm standing at some strange crossroads of life. Found another old classmate on Facebook. While this 'find' doesn't throw me into the chaos the previous one did, it does give me pause. We're not kids anymore.
I keep meeting new people as leave behind one place and go to another. It's amazing how I've never left the state yet I rarely run into people I once knew after I've left that 'circle'.
But I can't help but wonder what happened to the people I've known, the kids I went to school with, back when I went to school. (was homeschooled from 5th grade on) In that time, with the advent of Facebook and email and other social media sites it's easier to stay in touch. But about 4/5 crucial years were missed with me and them. When email was too new and Facebook didn't exist. So what do I do?
I'm more curious than anything. What have they been up to? More than me no doubt. How they've grown up without me just like I've grown up without them. Something particularly entrancing about childhood friends. I seem to have lost all of mine. It makes me sad.

So, it's May. New month.
It's amazing how easily I slipped right back into my pre-job life. Staying up late, staying on the computer too long, accomplishing zilch. haha. I don't know. It's strange.
I bought some 12mm aventurine beads but have decided, through much deliberation to return them. They're the wrong color, too murky and not minty. Some things can't be bought online. This may be one of them. I don't WANT to be $16 for a strand, retail price at the stores around here. I need these beads.
SAT tomorrow! If I think about it, I could freak myself out, so I don't think about it. I've studied and I'm confident I'll do well in everything except some of the math because I just don't think math-wise. Words and language are my thing. *sigh* We shall see.
Post Picture:Me. My self portrait from yesterday. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be a create brilliance. I can't live with that pressure anymore though. It's wearing me out.

I have about 5 supplies purchase coming in over the next few days. *hopes* One's coming from Canada and I've heard horror stories about that postal service. This is a picture I took as a customer appreciation. It's from Etsy seller sultryaffairbeads. Came super quick. The origami swan was an unexpected gift. I love getting Etsy purchases
I listed those earrings today. I'm back to photographing my wares. I should build up a stock so that's all I have to do is photograph them because...well, it will be easier for me.
I do really love Acutes, Extrapolated and Original. (the ones above are Originals) The possibilities are endless.
I take the SAT this Saturday. Yes, I graduated high school a while ago, but for one reason and another I didn't take the test. It's a goal of mine. I'm most nervous about the math section because I never liked math. I have taken a practice one and scored fairly well. Pray for me. :)

And just like the money train has come to a screeching halt. The job is over, just that quickly. I'm kinda restless, now. I thought I had a few days left. heh.
So I've spent the afternoon buying supplies. So far I've gotten wire, jumprings and pliers. I have a long list but I'm trying to buy priorities first. So for as much as I would LOOOOOVE to a button machine, it will have to wait.
I'll be around more until I get a new job. Making things, dreaming up new ideas. I actually want a new job for the most part. Another step/change. I know I need money to buy supplies and just fund elpy in general.

ATTN!
I feel old with my hurting hip and wanting to go to bed at 8:30. So sad. Ha! I miss blogging and all the other online things I used to do. *sigh*
I don't have much new to say. The job is going well. I'm not stressing about anything about their 'politics'. So much is just not worth the fuss. I'm learning a lot about people, which is good and fun at times. And since I have to go again tomorrow morning...good night!
Post Picture: An unedited pic from a walk I took last week. Makes me wish I had a macro lens.
