Stuck

I'm in the same place I was last time I posted.  Still jobless.  It's really depressing at this point.  Luckily I have been getting some orders through Knit Terrors, but I still need something steady so I can move out.

Chad is seriously looking into moving up here, something we tried to keep quiet for a while but now it's out in the open.  We have the support of basically everyone around us, and people are trying to help us make it happen.  So now not only am I looking for a job here, but so is Chad. Ideally, he'd be up here within the next few months.  We have the opportunity to move in with my sister and her husband, which will help the four of us out greatly.  It'll only be temporary, but it will be a lot less stress, and a good adjustment period for us.

Chad came up last Wednesday and left yesterday.  I still can't explain it, but I feel like such a better person when he's around.  I feel overwhelmingly happy, and I know that others can see it too.  He's such an amazing human being.  We've grown really close over the past six months (although we've only been in a relationship for five).  We've also grown very much individually.  We feel closer and more comfortable each time one of us visits, which also makes it a million times harder when one of us has to leave.

I feel like I lucked out with Chad, and that he truly is my soulmate.  That's something I used to scoff at, the idea of true romantic love. I feel fortunate that I've been getting to know all the facets of his personality, and I see a side of him that not a lot of people either get a chance to, or want to see.  I wish for other people to see it. I feel at home when I'm with him. I can't put it any better than that.

I somehow managed to pull something major in my back this weekend, and I am experiencing pain that I never had to in the past.  I was at the point last night where it took me about 5-10 minutes to get out of bed successfully without feeling like the right side of my body was going to fall off.  Pain shooting down my leg, I couldn't sleep on my right side (which I usually do).  It was hell, and I got maybe three hours of sleep last night.  I ended up taking a nap on the couch for most of the morning, and I somehow feel better. So I'm wondering if I just pulled something and my bed/the bed at my sister's just aggravated it.  Either way, I feel a tiny bit better now, but not going to start running laps or anything.  I did, however, read that exercising/using the elliptical may help so I might be able to try that a bit later.  I hate laying in bed.

I have some knitting orders to finish up, then it's time to start knitting for conventions coming up in the next few months.  Here's to hoping my hands don't fall off!
