I really need a job. I was suppose to get a call by noon on whether or not I got a job but since it’s 11:41, I doubt I got it. This sucks. I’m slowly starting to freak out about it.

We’re all moved into the new house – all four of us, and the kids. It’s still a mess, with boxes still covering the majority of the floors, but it’s getting better. It’s a really nice place, even if the kitchen is incredibly small for four people and a dog all at once – but what kitchen isn’t, come to think of it. Oh well. It’s home. For now.

Yesterday, we went and checked out a bunny that someone was trying to get rid of and ended up taking him home with us. He’s not technically ours, he belongs to Pan, one of our housemates, but I’m already really attached. We’ve started calling him Maxwell and it seems to suit him. I gave him a box with some newspaper in it and he got to work shredding it all fairly quickly. Man, I love rabbits. They are such good cuddlers.

Okay, off to clean more of the house.

I’m currently working on a rather large and time-consuming rehaul of Amadaun.Net. New content will include actual art, photographs, and a small selection of stories and poetry. A design has been created but I’m already questioning just how much I like it so by the time I get around to finishing everything, it might already have changed. We’ll see. Don’t expect anything for awhile, as I said, it’s pretty time-consuming (of time that I currently don’t have).

What time I do have is usually spent neglecting school, procrastinating on the site, playing World of Warcraft, painting, and taking long naps with the Love of my Life (who likes to steal the blankets and kick in her sleep). Sleeping is generally hard when you have a cat who believes it’s his right to situate himself as a hat on your head in the middle of the night, and another cat who will loudly inform you at 4:30 in the morning that she is hungry. Ash rightly said this morning, with her head buried beneath the pillow, “Dog is man’s best friend because they let man sleep.” Which is true. The dog will sleep till noon, right along with us. The ferrets and the rats are nocturnal and make it damn near impossible to stay asleep with their scratching and rustling and fighting (no, not together). Which is why we take long naps during the day and stay awake all night.

I can’t wait till we get a house of our own and we aren’t all cooped up in one room (and have to deal with a male housemate who doesn’t flush the toilet). We’ve been looking at apartments for the summer in Ashland and the Twin Cities, but we haven’t found much we can afford (or that allows the number of animals we have). We both want to go to Tennessee but it’d be harder finding jobs there. If anyone has some insight to these locations and possible places to rent, please let me know.

Other than that I’ve been painting again so just maybe I’ll start opening up some commission work. I’m not sure if that’s being too optimistic or what, but cross your fingers and hope.

That’s it for now. Be well.
