Blind Faith

Undaunted by these early missteps I move forward. It is now getting towards the end of June 2005* and it is time for me to house-sit at what I like to refer to as my "haven in the hills." I need to feed the cats, cuddle with them while surfing about every channel imaginable on TV and make sure the hot tub works until the first week of August.

Of course it is also less than 10 days away from paying the rent on my actual residence. I calculate what I have and I am definitely going to be short if something does not happen. Though anxious, I have faith something something will work out. The universe has blessed me in many situations like this, and I am hoping the universe still has my back. It turns out it does. A week later I receive an unexpected $500, the rent is paid and I wonder how I keep getting so lucky. It is,
well . . .surreal.

Fortunately, my "haven in the hills" is well equipped with fast computers and even faster broadband. I sit in a small home office, with a view of the bay framed by pine trees and diligently send out resumes. I also register with a few new temp agencies, because I am going to need a more reliable cash flow than my luck can provide.
