Careers I am considering now that I am unemployed and homeless

1. Bounty hunter. I really think this would be a very logical decision.

2. Plumber. Everyone needs a plumber at some point, providing me with job security!

3. Elephant trainer. I mean, why not?

4. Game show host. The dudes who host "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" are getting pretty old, am I right?

5. Nomadic, unemployed writer... oh wait, that's what I'm already doing!

Tomorrow I'm going to do awesome things like discover new favorite running paths to replace the ones I left behind. Today I unpacked my belongings and tried to get settled... I must say, I think I have been handling this situation remarkably well, and even have a sense of humor about it most of the time--until this morning when my dog decided to make a break for it. That left me crying and saying, "Even the dog doesn't want to be around me! She's going to go find a new family that doesn't live in a trailer!"

This situation is probably not remedied by the fact that a few minutes ago I accidentally dropped her on her face on a hardwood floor. That almost made me cry again. She seems to have forgiven me because I bribed her with a dog treat. I'm all about buying love when I can.

All of those sound like awesome options. Suzy is probably traumatized from the move. I mean, last time someone moved she was left tied to a post for who knows how long. She knows you love her.

Also, you should call Dad and have him go running with you.
