Meh

I had to go back into pharmacy, because after two months of being unemployed, I’m broke. However, when I start on the 21st, it will be on my terms— I will do my work to the best of my ability while I’m there, however, I will not kill myself over it. I have to head back to take care of my mom post-surgery this week while my dad’s on a business trip. I’m sort of looking forward to it, because a change of scenery will be nice. I’m also kind of apprehensive though; she’s got this idea in her head that, when my dad dies (which he probably will before her, in all honesty), she and I will get a house together. I love her c and she is a very warm and giving person, but I don’t see that working out. I live a very different life from her, and I don’t really have a desire to move back east. I don’t know your to tell her any of this without pissing her off. So I’m kind of avoiding the subject for now until I decide on the best way to handle it. She’s very over-emotional and she wants grandchildren— she’ll have to bug my sister for them, honestly.

My class is going really well— I’ve made pendants, earrings, and rings. I’ve been learning how to solder. Actually, I messed up my piece last class, but I know what led to it being ruined, and it was overkill on my assignment anyway. So I’m tryingv not to beat myself up over it. Two of my pieces are going in the school show, and my mom has a friend who knows a lady who scouts the country for up-and-coming jewelry artists. She’s trying to connect us, which is lovely of her.

All in all, I guess things are looking up. I don’t really feel much of anything tonight, other than being reflective on a few other things. I guess I’ll turn in for the night.
