i applied to a new job this week. a social media editor position so i knwo i can handle what they ask me to do. still, i'm going to brush up on skills and stuff. sucks that i don't have an adobe subscription anymore. that would come in handy right now. want to brush up on indesign and maybe finally explore photoshop. like i can use photo editors i understand yhow to do things, but i've only ever used gimp and it does things differently. i'm trying to manifest this job. since it's remote, i hope to land it and buy a laptop and move to mexico throught the end of the year. i don't know how long remote work will be available, since it would make sense that companies with office leases would want to not lose all that money and woudl prefer to move back in as soon as they can. and i just don't want to be in the states for a while. everything here is draining. i suppose my income would go further too, but i'm not worried about that

i never heard back from the polling places that i applied to but myu friend, who well applied after me, did. if that's not a sign that houston life isn't for me, i don't know what is. i did get my job back and now that works picking up again i kinda miss the not working at all. like all that time to do nothing felt nice, even if it meant time just blurred together. i have to put in twenty hours this week and that's too much!

i finished that book 'drive your blow over the bones of the dead'. i guess i have to wait for the moshfegh book to be available. i could check the library website but i was so late with returning this past one that i'm too anxious to look at how much i've acrued in late fees. i just paid them off too before checking these out. i'm gonna finish the murakami one this week to get that back before it also starts acruing fees

grammarly used to check what i typed on here and point out typos. it doesn't do that anymore which has translated to more typos than in pregvious blog posts pre-blogger redesign. i don't think anyone is actually reading this anymore so it's not an issue i'm putting any stock in. it's only an issue when i go back and read these later and trip up every other sentence

i'm trying to add a photos section to my website. i think it would be cool to have that but i'm bvery impatient. like, i never even bothered to figure out the css to properly format my poetry that currently is available via a file link to google drive. i could just connect the file directly but i'm lazy to even do that... though now i'm havign the idea of adding it to a page like i'm trying to do with photos...

i've made progress with the photos thing. gonna call it for the blog post
