try to think about other things sometimes.

Rule #2 for being sad

Babysit an adorable 4 year-old who asks you for two bedtime stories and then to snuggle while they fall asleep.  Make sure they have frozen waffles in their kitchen and a big fuzzy dog to keep you company.  

Rule #1 for being sad

Do not cry while driving.

It’s so strange how about two weeks ago, I was really sure that my life was going to go in a certain direction (DC, then France, then we’ll see), but now my life seems to have almost no direction, at least for the immediate future.  My boyfriend’s moving away unexpectedly, right when I’d just let go of all the emotion preparation I did when I thought that I was going to move away, and right when I’d let myself relax and enjoy having a few months of future left together.  My paid summer internship officially fell through today, to add insult to injury.  My lease is up in six days and I don’t know yet where to go, although I have somewhere cheap that I’ll probably stay for June and maybe longer. My anticipated back-up nanny job seems like it may happen, but I’m still limbo land (my current boss passed on my information to her friend who is looking for someone) and it doesn’t seem like it would start until late June anyway, which is kind of a lot of time to fill with no Josh, no plans, and a lot of sadness to deal with.

Everyone around me is picking up and heading out to some bright new future that they’re excited about.

I’m unexpectedly totally adrift right when I thought I had everything worked out for myself.  

what do I do with all my feeeeelings?
