Possibility In The Air
Or is that just the sun?
Mother nature has blessed us this week with the sun. After a January that rained 29 of its 31 days, Febuary is trying its best to shed some light on our situation. This morning I awoke in my big, white, puffy bed with my gorgeous boyfriend whistling as he puttered in the bathroom and the sun pounding through our windows. I cracked the window open a touch and a breeze (dare I say spring-like?) floated in. It was a bit chilly, but my duvet kept me warm and knowing that today I have a day off I couldn't help but lay in bed and grin to myself. Today anything feels possible and I soak in that feeling.
On the topic of possibilities I thought I would share with you an excersise that I tried recently. The mission was to brainstorm without stopping to think about it, all the Jobs/Paths/Careers that you have ever had interest in or fantasized about or would pursue 'if only' . It was terribly easy for me. My page filled up instantly and I have been grinning at the results ever since. Here they are:

2.Montessori School Teacher
3.High School Arts Teacher
4.Designer
5.Entrepreneur
6.Stay-at-home mom

I think that this will be my next Konkin Question...What would you be if you weren't what you currently are? Or if you aren't currently anything, what is one random thing that you would love to try doing for a career, even if for only one day? Ya, good question. Must get around to changing that.
Lots is changing, morphing, slowly. My nuvoring is starting to play havoc on my body and so will be terminated from employment. Not sure what I will use for birth control. Hate the pill or anything systematic, didn't have much luck getting the IUD in the first time I tried, nuvoring not good, condoms...well, condoms seem brutal when you are in a monogamous, long term partnership. Perhaps I should resort to the 1950's stand by...the good 'ol diaphram. HAHAHAHA! No.
Job is high pressure, very busy. Got my first paycheck and I held it to my bosom lovingly. A paycheck. Soon to be done my Real Estate course. Will then have to pass the exam in April. Egad. Applying to Emily Carr. Coolest part is that Jo and I are making my portfolio part of this site, so all will be able to enjoy when it is done late next week. Helping Jennie decorate her new condo which is a delight and am already growing accustomed to the music that Jessi's presence brings up though our floor.
And from here anything could happen. That is the best part of all.
