It's a Dog's Life

It's been a while since my last post, so I apologize to my dear readers, it's been a busy month of June. To start with, I started volunteering and by the middle of the month, I was hired to walk people's dogs.

I must admit that picking up other animals' poop was not something that I imagined I would ever do for money after I got that fancy calligraphied degree from college. Even so, the job isn't that bad and it does get me out of the house for a few hours a day- time that is mostly spent in traffic. Northern Chicagoland is pictured under the dictionary definition of gridlock. I typically walk about 3 dogs a day for 20 minutes each and it is nice to be outside in the sunshine. I just wish I wasn't putting so much of the dough back into my Civic.

There's been little else happening with the job scene aside from developing my bag pooper-scooper skills. Some hits on my resume but little to show for it at this point. It's frustrating that I keep thinking by next month I'll have my life back and I can begin planning for things but by the end of July, I don't really think I'll have anything new to report. It's easier I'm beginning to think, to just not hope for things and accept what they are.
