I applied for a new job today.  It’s a job doing work that is similar to what I do now.  The job is being a criminal defense lawyer, but it pays a lot more than my current job, which would be great.  I’m having delusions that I might be able to buy a car that is not prone to mysterious engine/fuel injection problems.  I was very proud of myself for printing such a nice looking resume and cover letter.  I had gotten special paper and matching envelopes a while ago when I was on the “I need a new job” kick.  Unfortunately, I didn’t use the special supplies during that time at all.  Well, it worked out great today, and I think everything looked super professional.  Now the waiting game begins.  I am really hopeful about the possibilities, but don’t let my calm smile fool you; I’m scared out of my mind.

Here’s the other shocking change I’m considering, which is less scary, but it’s still scary: I’m thinking of getting an Etsy account.  I have no idea what I will put on there.  Maybe ATCs, or maybe I’ll actually learn to make plushies, or maybe I’ll actually create my first chandelier.  Who knows.  I can’t imagine that having an Etsy account is expensive because so many people have one.  Shockingly, everyone on there also seems to be successful in having other people interested in their work.  I think I need to take some more time before I take the plunge, but I think doing this could be a good experience for me.
