okay, just a quick update - i've got a job for next year til june. never really thought i'd be the sort to need stable employment (and income) since i never thought of myself as a structured person, but the past week has shown that stressing over where my next paycheque's coming from can induce severe insomnia and lead to obsessing over finding employment. anyway, i found a job so everyone can stop avoiding neurotic me now. except i doubt i'll be seeing people much, what with the dog and a job that takes me 1 1/2 hours to travel each way. it's a teaching job, but that's as much as i'll say. prod me for more details when you next see me.

anyway, about the dog. we went down to the spca, fell in love with this sweet little mongrel, and if my sister likes her, we'll bring her home tomorrow. which gives me two weeks to toilet train her and get her settled in before i leave for chiangmai. she's rather shy, and very unaggressive (which is why my mother likes her) so i just hope the neighbours' dogs will be nice to her. otherwise i'll kick them and start a dog/human fight. i foresee next year being very busy and tiring, what with spending so much time on the bus, teaching, preparing lessons (eh i got assigned k2 for sunday school next year), marking, walking and bathing my dog, training it and all. then again with so many people gone, it's probably better that my days are filled to the brim. people like me should never have time to sit and think. we get pretty self-destructive.

downside to all this - i'm allergic to fur, so i have to get some medication soon, and now i have to go clothes-shopping because i have nothing suitable for working. most of my better (ie not crummy or polo tees) shirts only match jeans, and i only have two wearable skirts. and i just broke a heel. i hate clothes shopping. i'd rather choose stuff for people to wear. trying on clothes is so depressing. maybe i'll just get five outfits, then everyone can tell the day by what i'm wearing.
