Explore, be curious (Day 237)

I haven't slept since I wrote the last blog entry. In about two hours I'll be hitting the 24 hour mark. Not only that, but I've been driving around all day grabbing job applications and getting my face out there. My wrists hurt from filling out so many paper applications, and I still have a lot more online stuff to do. I probably went to 15-20 different places today, but I'm glad I finally did it. Surely something will come of this and I can start getting my life back on track here.

My uncle has been really helpful in this whole process. I'm glad that he had enough faith in me to let me drive his Jeep, because that eliminates a lot of the stress of the process. My car is in a state of disrepair at the moment, and has out of date tags and no insurance. It's a gamble to drive it anywhere at all, but occasionally I did so because I had to. When I have access to a fully fueled and insured vehicle, I can just go anywhere without worrying about getting pulled over and ticketed--provided I'm not driving recklessly, which I almost never do.

I am absolutely exhausted. My uncle wants me to come over for dinner in a couple hours but I don't know if I'm going to make it. I feel like I'd be severely misguided to turn down free food, but I just might be tired enough to do it. I'm ready to collapse right now. Food is just not alluring enough to me in my current state of mind. Once I sign up for this healthcare thing that I have to do, I want to be done for the day. I want to just sink onto the bed and get some rest.

I'm going out again tomorrow to turn in all of my paper applications and show my resume to anyone who might be interested. I have a few promising prospects, but it's all up in the air right now. I want to be gainfully employed again and actually have enough money to do. . .well, anything. The socialization aspect of all this certainly cannot be ignored either. I need to meet new people and make connections. That's a part of my life that's severely lacking at the moment. I want to have the right to be happy and work-simultaneously. I can do it. I know I can.
