Laid Off

Well, hello!  I haven't blogged in a while.  Mainly because I didn't want to write another depressing/negative post.  Don't want you readers thinking that my life is just one big unpleasant news story, over and over.

But the truth is, I did get more bad luck.  After losing my vehicle and my beloved dog Jesse...I have now been laid off my job at the Portland Opera.  A job I absolutely loved.  This last happened a month ago today, October 15.  So I've had time to adjust.


I have decided that, while I will continue to look for work, I am going to write.  Fiction, plays, whatever.  I am going to set myself up a schedule and adhere to it like writers must.  Just like a job.  Maybe something good will come from that.  At least it will keep me sane!   I just have to try and stay off Facebook, and keep the television quiet.  When you're alone as much as I now am, the distractions are very comforting, but they do not help produce anything good.  Music works. 

Anyway, I hope you are having a good fall, had a happy halloween and such.  I will be spending Thanksgiving on the Oregon coast with some cousins of mine, and Christmas with family in Sacramento (unless the airport is closed again this year due to snow).

There surely can't be any more awful news coming my way....can there?  Surely I will have positive things to write about.

You take care, I will blog more frequently...it's good to get the writing juices running.
