The past few weeks have been very, very stressful. My current job is up in a few weeks (August 4th) and I don't have a job nailed down at this point. I have lots of "promising leads," but nothing NAILED DOWN. I've also told my landlady that my last day will be August 15th. Course, I haven't got a a new place yet, but hey! What's life without drama (except possibly much calmer and more relaxing ;)?
So I had the day off with nothing to do, and was ready to just go to a coffee shop when instead I decided to drive to the Washington Coast with sweet Dog. We are at Ocean Shores, at a crappy (but clean!) little hotel, right on the beach, and happy as clams. The Dog and I walked on the beach, I walked to a great Irish pub, where I had salad, potato soup, and lovely, lovely clams in a white wine broth, with a glass of white wine. The proprietor, James, told me about their biergarten, where I sat and read the new Hilary Mantel novel about Henry VIII. So pleasant!
So much good has been happening to people in my life this week, and I can't help but be really positive about life in general, even as I fret and fuss about specifics right now.
Tomorrow, The Dog and I will run on the beach at the Pacific Ocean, and I might ride horses on the beach before I drive back to work as an ER nurse. Really, life could be so much worse. I am a lucky (if uncertain!) girl.
