at the end of the tunnel

The last couple of days I’ve been feeling cranky.  As a result, I’ve been getting pissy with J more frequently, I haven’t felt like talking on the phone to my parents (or anyone, really), and I’ve been doing a lot of frowning.  I have a lot on my mind.  Deep, stressful things like:

• When am I going to find a job?
• What decisions need to be made for the wedding?
• How are we going to save money?
• When and how will I start making friends here?

I know I should stay positive.  I know it takes time to become established in a new city, to find a job, to make friends.  But the days seem to be flying by and very little progress seems to have been made on any front since I’ve gotten here.  I know that instead of letting the cranky rule, I need to concentrate on the exciting things coming up like:

• My sister’s visit this weekend
• J’s birthday on Sunday
• Ox’s visit next week
• An impromptu trip to Louisville for my great-grandmother’s 95th birthday
• A week-long trip back to NY/NJ for Jessica’s bridal shower and to pick a photographer for the wedding

This afternoon I had a phone interview for a Communications & Public Relations Specialist position for a non-profit that I think would be very interesting.  I can only just sit and bite my nails until next week, when I’ll hear if I’m invited to the 2nd round of interviews. STRESSFUL.
