A Life Without Sweatpants...

...isn't really a life worth living to me. However, to spare my morale I'm taking the advice of my aunt and ditching the sweats. Putting on jeans and a nice shirt will not only make me look better (although who would notice, as I barely leave the house) but also give me more motivation and help me feel like an actual person.

My favorite pair of sweats - so lonely without me!

 

So today I'm wearing jeans and my favorite argyle sweater. I'm looking better, but not necessarily feeling better. I've been trolling my usual sites for jobs, and hoping to find some new postings. There isn't too much new. And reading What Color is Your Parachute hasn't really been helping much, either. Bolles is really down on using the Internet to find a job, which kind of leaves me at a loss. I made the decision about two months ago to come home if I didn't find a job. But I'm not necessarily looking to stay where I live. Ideally, I'd like to move to NYC or Washington, D.C., so that's where my job search has been focused. But now I'm wondering if I'm just wasting time and energy by applying for jobs there when I am here. I don't know if I'm at the point where I'd be ready to move to either of these places. It's a big step that would require money and a lot of patience, and I've also made some plans that require me to be somewhat flexible with my schedule for the month of June. Still, I can't help but question if the decision I made was the right one, especially since my job prospects on the horizon are looking more and more like a barren desert. 

Also, I just learned that I can post short videos of myself up here. This could be dangerous. Although as Erika says, I'd have to find a reason to include video of myself. Perhaps I should start with a podcast first...
