Lets start with yesterday. We went house hunting with Nancy. We left here at 9:15 am and returned after 7pm. Eep. To be fair, not all of that was house stuff. Just most of it. We also had lunch and saw a movie, CHICAGO. The movie was hysterical.

I think Nancy has pretty much decided on the house she wants, but she's dithering a bit because it's rather more than she wanted to spend. Of course, I think it's worth every penny. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. If I had $240,000.

Either way she's staying an extra day to decide and look at the place again. I hope it works out for her.

Today not much has happened. I'm sick, as usual, but the major coughing fits seem to have passed. Woo hoo!

I'm hoping today will be fairly uneventful. I think the plan is to watch the Superbowl commercials or something. I have a lot of cleaning to finish before Nancy gets back though. (She's having breakfast with Kevin and looking at the house).

I also want to get some writing done.

And have I mentioned classes start tomorrow? I really need to do well this semester. I have to get my GPA up. I'm really worried about it. I have no idea if I can handle the amount of credit hours, I still don't have a job, I'm just a mess.

Okay, breathe. I'm pretty sure the workload is going to be tough, but hopefully I'll be able to keep it together this semester. The blood results came back and it looks like my doctor finally got my medicine balanced so the Grave's Disease should be less of an issue. That's a plus.

The truth is I haven't a clue where my life is going. I mean, I know I want to be a writer, but how do I fill in all hte other spaces? I can;t just declare I'm a full-time writer. First, that's horribly unfair to my husband who is then left holding the financial bag (including MY student loans). Second, it takes time for every writer to earn that right. Ususally sometime after they can support themselves with their writing. I'd feel like I was discrediting the effort they go through. Plus, I would like to actually sell a story, just one, to prove I have a small shot at making a go of this career. It may take me the rest of my life to get that. (And I'll keep trying, no worries there).

But, I need a job. Something that brings in money while I'm writing. I just have no idea what I want that job to be. I'm pretty sure the teacher's certificate thing is not for me. To be a good high school teacher you really have to want to be there. And I don't. At all. So, I'm looking at working as an adjunct at some community colleges after I finish my masters. I'm just not sure how many of those jobs there are out there. It could prove to be impossible. And then what? I could go straight to my doctorate, but I'm already heading towards burn out. Sigh....

Well, I imagine I'll figure it out eventually. Anyone have any suggestions?
