Next Step

Well, I came home from work this evening and sat down to watch some Netflix. It is an addiction, I swear! Maybe it was fate, but I have no idea, my laptop decides it is going to restart. Instead of going right back into Netflix when it rebooted, I started searching the net for job openings. After over two hours I applied for three, and plan on applying for more, but we shall see how that goes. Right now I keep hoping to get a phone call for an interview (especially from two of the places I applied for) and then the journey comes to scheduling an interview, or multiple interviews...I keep wondering how this is all going to work out between my current schedule but something will work out...it always does. I am also currently making a list of to-dos yet again, and also lists of random things in general at the current time. They are lists of things I should not be worrying about right now, but I am. Due to nerves, excitement and wonder I am making lists for lists, if that makes any sense. Right now I would love to jump one month into the future, because in one month (hard to believe) I will be finished with school, and soon taking a vacation week from work and going to Chicago with Jay. It will be a new experience, considering I have never been West of Kentucky in my life. I am always traveling south or east it seems. I am looking forward to the time away from Ohio and spending the time with Jay and meeting up with a few of his friends. Murphy is in for a life change as well, and actually has been for the past four or five months. Due to the distance between Jay and I the traveling I have been doing has more than doubled, even tripled since before we started dating. I use to be home nearly every night by eleven (usually because of work) but now I have been gone for at least two or three nights at a time, and once even nearly a week. He has been more clingy and lovey in the past few months, but also his temper has come out of him. I swear, I came home from a six day stay at Jay's, was home for about two hours, and once I put my uniform on to go to work Murphy wanted some loving. I petted him and started to head downt he stairs and the cat literally threw a fit! He meowed his disappointment and leaped for attack! I still have a slight scar to prove it. I am hoping here soon he can be with me again every night, or nearly every night. I miss him when I am away from home, more than anyone may be able to imagine. I think Jay thinks he is just a cat, but Murphy and I are pretty much each other's best friend. Every time I have ever needed someone to be there for me he has. He was with me when my grandparents died, when I had mono, when I graduated high school, when I started college, when I broke up with Jeremy after a 7 year relationship and was there to snuggle with me during my nights I cried, and will be here for me when I graduate college and take that next step in life. I hate to uproot him from the home he has always known, but I am sure he will adjust, and most likely will adjust much faster than I will. It is all going to be a new experience all in itself, and the nerves and the excitement is overwhelming. I pray to God every night he can get me through this and keep my sanity.
