The Precipice of Change
Yeah, it's a time of political change and tepid hope for a magical lifting of the recession we reaped from our rapacious appetite for resources. I haven't thought too deeply about our times as an individual, because I was too focused on getting WILPF's priorities edited and published and advertised [e-newsletter not currently available online]. Right, so enough of that.
The precipice I'm most interested in is extremely personal. In November, 2006 I found a career that keeps me interested in going to work every day. In December, 2006 I began battling thyroid cancer. I've been relatively healthy for over a year, but right now, in the next month, is when I'm actually going to begin my post-thyca life.
By moving out of the Valley, I'll return to the life I knew before cancer: independent and full of possibility. I've put a major restriction on my apartment hunting by focusing on locations that will accept dogs. I've been yearning for a lap dog since that awful day I was sitting in my cubicle and got the call that confirmed I had papillary carcinoma. There are other companions I'd like to have on this journey, but I can't hold my breath waiting for those pieces of the puzzle to fall in place.
Time to focus on finding my next home.
