Portia in San Franciso

She calls it Memories of the the Badass days.

What we look like now

This is us after camping at Mount Rainer. We camped next to the Cowlitz river and had lots of fun. Sleeping sucked though. The mattress deflated and it was the usual all night find-the-freaking-stone I'm sleeping on routine. But worth the bother. This year we'll take a portable shower thingy that is basically a water bottle with a hose that warms up the water during the day. Nothing electric. Need to wax the seams of the tent too. It tends to leak there.
You can tell how sophisticated I am by my clothing. Yes, this is how I dress normally. So invitations to formal occasions are not all over my calendar.

A Year Later

Got a job in May and was ready to quit by April. But...I'm still working there and wonder how long this will last. It's not the perfect job; pay's too low, environment full of complaining and negativity, but it's a job and there's money coming in and, considering the times, I should be grateful. So there you go. Grateful to have a job. I'd give someone else's right arm to find the job I am by nature suited for, but I don't have enough self awareness obviously to figure that one out. I don't think you can get paid for reading Jane Austen, watching sitcoms or eating chocolate. After looking over this paragraph it's obvious my future is not in editing.
