Literally, movement is happening! Moving to a new home. Moving to new jobs. Moving into a new career path. I guess I'll tackle each thing one by one.

Moving day is fast approaching and it feels like there isn't enough time in a day. Part of me hopes my store hires some new people to make room for a crazy packed schedule.To our surprise, we had a smooth sailing through our credit check situation and landed a place for 250 less than we budgeted. It may be on the South Side, but it has updated kitchen appliances, cabinets, bathrooms and an exposed brick wall. I'm a huge fan. Connie gets the bigger room so I'm not paying as much. Chloe gets her own room. We plan to build, invest, and create media content.

I don't think I've felt a grind this heavy in a long time. Insulted by uncle, I reflect on my reason for taking on so many jobs. "Three jobs!", he cried. "Why do you need three jobs if you have a degree?" BECAUSE I CAN, SIR! Mostly, I did it just to prove that I can go from no job to 3 jobs. Just to prove I have work ethic. Just to prove I don't have to ask anyone for a dime. I can build my credit score, my savings account an pay my bills on my own. DO I ASK ANYONE FOR MONEY, EVER? NOPE. So leave me alone, you blithering buffoon!

Now that I got my rant out and I'm proud to not have resorted to Facebook or Twitter, I feel infinitely better. Circling back to my goals, I am finally ready to investigate a Masters program. The requirements are daunting but I know I am smart and capable. Looks like I will be taking on the College Development MA/ED.  I would like to work in student affairs, residence life, or in a charter school as their Mrs. Rita Pinkard. If I take 2 extra classes, I qualify to take the LPC exam and get the clinical licensing. Hopefully, I can do this slowly and easily. We gone see.

God has been very good to me and I shall take it one day at a time!
