another quarter, please.
dearestees:
i am working and it's boring but i've been successful in work-related endeavors thus far which makes it easier to continue.
not sure if i've posted this yet, but about 80% of the grants i've written so far have come through. i'm pretty excited about this percentage, but in no way have i accumulated enough funds to staff and run the ycup (youth credit union program - where i work) efficiently - so the grant-writing continues. but it's better now. still boring as sin, but i feel like the program is really helping the kids out - so that makes it worth while.
and that program inadvertantly brought me to an insane, fantastic, outta-a-lovely-dream city, so i am obligated to compensate.
life with e.ray at my heels has been great, though it's odd to not have as much jen-time as i'm used to. his living in my apartment for the past week has felt a bit like living in lechner (college dorm): i come home, throw my shit onto the couch, we share stories of the madness of the day and then trade music and homestar runner finds like we are 18. (and no, my brother and sister we are not dating, nor shall we. thankyouverymuch).
he has also commented on the hilariousness of my mad love affair with this city. i am seriously forming a romantic relationship with this place. boys may break my hearts, i may break theirs - but this city and i will never fail each other. :)
the past week has been stupid busy - i've gone out nearly every night, and haven't drank a lot, etc - but the constant outtings are freaking wearing me out. i am not young as i used to be:
1) went to muir woods and highway one amazing cliff+wave madness yesterday with e.ray. amaaaazing.
2) mare and her friends took me out last night, complete with the happy birthday song sung.
3) tonight a show with trumpets and saxophones and stacey and rudy.
4) saturday, an art dance 'underground' warehouse shinny-dig in oakland.
enough.
i turned 25 today, and have received a stream of phone calls from family/friends - which makes me want to take the day off and talk to them all-the-day-long. but alas, i must write grant proposals. yeeeeees.
yay yay me, but i feel the biggest props go to my mom and dad, who 25 years ago had a baby for the very first time. sheesh. can't even imagine.
loooooong. miss you kids a lot. take care of hearts minds and bodies, please. loves.
