Time may change me / But you can't trace time

New living space, new job...what is it, 2008? In two weeks my Americorps service will be up AND I'll be starting a new job with United Way. They hired me to work 30/hours a week plus benefits to be a Community Impact Specialist. It's going to be quite different from my work with 1 Hour for Kids and Youth Program Quality. No more mentoring and afterschool programs. I feel really strongly about the work I've been doing this past year and it's going to be hard to shift my focus, but what I'm going to be doing desperately needs to be done to support the structure of the organization. So I'm finding peace in the fact that my work will continue to aid what I was doing before, even if a little indirectly.

The other change that's coming August 1st is a move to a new place. It will be the same zip code and same neighborhood, but a duplex with a yard for Annabel. We put in our application plus deposit yesterday and we're hoping that everything plays out smoothly. I'm super excited to get out of this crowded, bug-invested apartment complex after two years of basically wanting to be ANYWHERE else.

So on to my seventh rented space and umpteenth job since college. I'm hoping these ones stick.
