Been a while

Well I guess I haven't been on here in forever and two months. Whoops. I wanted this to be much more regular. But our free wifi we were picking up disappeared, so I have to go out and search the town for it.
So much and so little has happened. The dog and cat haven't killed each other yet, but they still don't like each other. Sarah got a new job at the beginning of the month. She works for the state, in the unemployment tax department. She likes it a lot more than the bank which is really good. We just got a new place and get to move in soon. It's so much better than our current place. It's two bedrooms, in a five unit building. It's up the hill in a much more residential area. And it's old without being crappy. It's so nice! I can't wait to move it and make it ours. It will be so nice to have space for everything. I want to get a sewing machine once I can afford it.
Maybe having a nicer place will make me feel more grounded and not want to leave. I really hate this place sometimes. It's just so dreary and full of dead ends, literally and figuratively. I feel like I want to sell everything I own and just leave. But I have nowhere to go, so I stay. And deep down I really like it here.
I'm supposed to be using the internet to find a better job. I guess my feelings about my job are the same about Juneau. Love it, hate it, full of dead ends. Definitely dreary. I put in my two weeks maybe two months ago. My boss begged me not to go, talked about me taking on more managerial responsibilities. So I stayed. I got rid of my shifts that I hated and didn't make any money at. I've learned a couple of new things. But not much has changed except now I make less money. What's wrong with this picture? But I really like working for who I do, they are the best bosses ever. It makes it hard to look for another job. And my nights I work, Wednesday and Thursday, make it hard to get a second job and still have time to see Sarah.
Speaking of my baby, next week is our first anniversary. I got her a really good present, I don't think she'll have a clue. Hopefully. Last year seems so far away from now. We seem like completely different people. And not really in a good way.
I have to cut this short. I thought my computer was plugged in, but apparently this outlet doesn't work. Looks like I have to go to the damn Rendezvous. Nothing is working right today.
