lather.
rinse.
repeat.

that's all my life has been comprised of lately.
go to work. sleep. eat. go back to work.
there's not much space for much else,
especially on this whole overnight schedule.

i am a total night person,
but for whatever reason, especially lately,
i find it so difficult to wake up in the morning.
unmotivated. disorganized.

it seems as though my life, at least for the moment,
is defined in large part by my need to pay bills.
and in order to do so, my blanks are filled in with
work, work, work and more work.

i've been looking into new jobs that will
hopefully turn over and provide a more
positive profit to frustration ratio.
because right now, starbucks just ain't cuttin it.
(it's time to get out.)

on the upswing though, i do finally feel more alive in portland.
a large part definitely due to friendships i am forming.
slowly but surely, i've found my home.


well, at least, some semblance of a temporary home.
unfortunately, i must go back to work.
until next time.
always, tiff.
