Feeling the love

Since I had the crappiest Monday in the history of Mondays yesterday, it was super cool to end the day laughing with friends who made me feel loved and special. Larissa and Kathryn from work called and asked if they could take me out for food and beers and I called Chris and Sean to meet us at High St. After rehashing the ridiculousness that was my firing, the conversation turned to goofy stuff and it was just nice to turn off all the noise that was going on in my head - "what are you gonna do? how are you going to make it? rent is due in a week and you have no money coming in for next month's...what are you gonna do? are people talking about you and thinking you're a fuck-up? how did this happen? you're such an idiot..."

Today was spent running around - making copies of my newly updated resume, filing for unemployment, making an appointment for a haircut, stopping in to talk to a family friend and passing on the news - and I'm finally getting a chance to sit and breathe. I'm heading up to Portland on Friday to spend the weekend and it'll be nice to step out of the black hole for a few days and get my head on straight. Surprisingly, I'm not freaking out today. Maybe I'm still in shock. *shrug* I know I can make this moving thing work and that if I need help, all I have to do is ask... that's comforting.

Thank you to all the well wishers and condolence senders and hand/ear lenders... I appreciate the support more than you know. :-)
