Updates.

Well, the "Motivation" post didn't help one bit to be honest.  I spent the rest of that week in a low, low place and did not really get one thing accomplished.  Probably the most helpless I had felt since being here about job and money.  Although, as always K stood by me and came through by getting us out of the house for a night in Vail and a Robert Earl Keen show!  We both really needed the change of scenery and having not been to Vail yet, when a friend called and said we had a good deal on a room and Robert Earl was playing a free show, we said we're in.  I do have pics that I'll post soon.

Well, after a change of scenery and some quality time with K would you believe I got a call back about a contract job that I had interviewed for a few weeks ago!  YAY!!!!! So, for the last two weeks I have been working for this company who essentially works with a big corporation's in-house legal to provide e-discovery services.  Basically, I've been reviewing thousands of documents on the computer.  It's been GREAT.  Ha.  The office is in the Qwest building downtown and I'm on the 22nd floor, with a beautiful view of the city.  It's worked out for the most part for K and I to commute together to work, well both taking our perspective trains to work but riding to the light rail together - which has been fun.  I've enjoyed working so much and have met some nice people.  However, the job is most definitely coming to a close by mid-week next week at the latest and I really don't get a sense that they will have such a big job again soon.  What I can tell from talking to the attorneys around me, they pretty much have a full group of contract attorneys that predominately handle the workload.  But the best thing out of this is I have renewed hope and attitude to get out and get more involved, even if it is just volunteering AND the paycheck will get me by for another month- Whew.

Though May is literally just around the corner, we had snow yesterday as well as last week and there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow.  We will have the lowest lows for the next few days that we've had in weeks.  I'm so ready for the warmer weather, though I am constantly assured by K that it will definitely be TOO hot soon enough and I should not wish away these cool nights.  There are numerous festivals and music shows coming up in the next few months that we're hoping to get too, as well as camping and hiking and traveling out of the city as much as possible!  Really looking forward to the next few months and know that I'll LOVE the summers here.
