Needed: A job, friends & furniture.

It’s been so long since I last wrote.  Going home for Christmas was absolutely amazing, a much needed trip to Massachusetts and visit with family & friends.  Now, I’m back in LA attempting to survive on an Aldo paycheck and a lack of furniture.  I’ve been applying for jobs and it’s definitely a work in progress.  Meanwhile, I’ve been clocking in a decent amount of hours at Aldo Accessories and attempting to make myself some new friends.  It’s very strange no longer being in school where I see my friends on a daily basis.  If I’m not spending time hanging out with Amy then I’m spending it hanging out with Bill and vice versa with a few other people tossed in here and there.  I may have to resort to placing an ad for friends pretty soon.  This entire week it’s been raining in LA, someone came running into Aldo yesterday yelling that there was a monsoon outside.  Slightly melodramatic though I do hear there are mudslides.  Today I had the day off from work and I spent it watching TV, working on my puzzle, reading, applying for more jobs, surfing the internet, running some errands with Amy, dinner with Bill, and more TV. My other day off is tomorrow, I may go a little stir crazy before then.  The most exciting thing to happen since I’ve gotten back to California three weeks ago was the fact that Doris Roberts was at the table next to Bill and me when we went to dinner at the Grove.  Aside from that, things are basically the same.  All my things are unpacked in my new apartment but the only furniture in my bedroom right now is a mattress on the floor (with beautiful eggplant sheets that compliment my leopard blanket very nicely) and a post office box I use as a nightstand.  It’s pretty sad but everything is very level on the ground and at least I have a mattress.  As of right now, we don’t have a couch in the living room either and just sit on a mattress pad to watch television, hopefully that situation will be remedied this weekend.  My back is killing me from a combination of sitting on the hardwood floor to watch television and bending over to build my puzzle; it’s pretty tough having nothing legitimate to do all day. Fingers crossed for a job, some friends, and furniture in the near future.
