“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

funemployed

today i hit the pavement again with a stack of resumes. i passed out some more, and filled out some application forms and stuff. the restaurant in the hotel that bry works at (in the hotel bar) is hiring waitstaff so that would be ideal because we would have similar hours and stuff. it's hard though because i don't have any serving experience. 

i was on my way home, my feet were already hurting from walking in flats, and i ended up missing my turn on the roundabout. those things are even more confusing to walk than they are to drive, i swear! anyways, i spotted a quality inn and i had one more resume so i headed in to see if there were any job openings. the restaurant is looking for servers and i ended up talking to the manager and he said he would think about it and give me a call back tomorrow. when i got home, i noticed an ad on gumtree that they had posted earlier today, so i feel like he is going to wait and see if anyone better applies and then if not, call me bahahaaa guess i got lost for a reason! anyways on the way back from the hotel, i ended up walking at least a half a kilometre in the wrong direction! lol so i turned around and walked the 2km back home. my feet have blisters on the bottoms of them, so that run i was planning when i got home definitely didn't happen! haha 

i also applied for a job online last night at just jeans which is a clothing store, and one today for a souvenir shop so hopefully something will work out soon! me and bry successfully made coconut yogurt, nut cheese and almond butter, and we made the crust for this awesome sun dried tomato and zuchini hummus tart we are making for lunch tomorrow! we are sprouting lots too, alfalfa, quinoa, lentils and buckwheat! yummmm. tomorrow morning, we are going to a yoga class at 6am and then working in the garden which is how we pay our rent. i'm so so so excited to get the garden all ready for summer and to start eating all the yummy fruits and veggies from it and making all sorts of delish food! going for a play in the whitewash on saturday at redgate so i can get used to standing on my board, then going to the market after to buy cabbage to make kimchi! if the weather cooperates on sunday, we are going to head to gracetown for a surf on some real waves! 

that's my super quick update! eating well, looking for a job, and getting excited to try surfing again when the waves are a bit smaller haha i'm also going to try to take more pics, i just always forget to bring my camera! 

missing everyone xoxo
