Off the Radar

I've noticed that I haven't posted in a while.  Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately because this means I have a life) I've been swamped with other things and haven't had the time.  I promise to write a new post next week.

One Shelter At A Time

Wow, I haven't posted in a while.  But I have a good excuse.  I've been working a lot, volunteering more, job hunting (with an interview coming up yay!), and writing the novel which I'll be posting chapter 1 once I do massive edits of it.  I've been getting a little depressed about my job status right now, not going to lie.  So, I decided to put a positive spin on it.

My lease for my apartment is up in May.  At that point, financially, it makes no sense to stay here another year.  Therefore, I will put my stuff in storage and make the 16 hour trek back home.  However, before actually settling at home (it's actually going to be more of a drop the kitties off), I plan on taking a month to travel across the country but just not for travels sake.  I plan on every day stopping at a couple animal shelters along the way and learn more about each of them and then meeting one of the animals currently there and getting their story.  I would then post the shelter's information and the selected animal's story on a blog each day (or whenever I have internet access since I probably won't stay at a hotel every night).

Why do this?  Well, for one, if I don't have a job, it's not like I'll have somewhere to report every day.  But to be serious, I believe it'll help raise awareness on why animals at shelters are not there because there is something wrong with them and also to highlight how different shelters around the US function.

With that being said, employers have 6 more months to hire me before I get to have a unique story to share at interviews.
