my sundrenched elsewhere in the works...

3 weeks ago my life plans once again crashed around me. this past year has been exhausting...i guess starting it off by leaving paradise wasn't exactly the precursor to a fantastic year, but i had some high hopes. a year is gone and up until 3 weeks ago I was "stuck" in the desert. I signed a year lease last october, and had pretty much understood that meant I would be there for at least that long...but then I quit my job at the country club (bc efff country clubs and their people) and I worked for an interior designer which was nice, but she didn't pay me. I was barely surviving. Along comes my sissylala with a GREAT job, a job I had my eye on this whole year. Finally, an in! Yea, well those people sucked too (not all of them) and I was out of another job 2 months later.

The little thing I didn't understand 3 weeks ago, has become much clearer as of lately. Losing that job opportunity became one of the best things that could have happened to me. I remember a year ago I was driving into the Coachella Valley from a couple weeks stay at my grandma's and I was on the phone with my sister...crying (more like balling) about how I hated it there and I never wanted to live in the desert, and what the CUSS was I supposed to do!? I swore to her I would be out in a year. And although I was there longer than a year, I still got out. How you ask? Pretty much by getting a good kick in the butt...After not getting the job at the CVA I figured what else do I have to lose, I have money saved and I have friends in San Diego, and well...why should I have to stay in a place I am less than fond of and one that i have no attachments to? It was scary, I don't really even think I knew what I was doing r what was about to happen. It all happened so fast, but the decision was made almost instantly. I was going to move to San Diego, and I have. I am staying with a good friend from college and through another good friend found an awesome job and with that my new adventure begins...my REAL sundrenched elsewhere. change is scary, but it is really really fun...COME VISIT!!
