I'd like to thank all of you that commented on my post yesterday, "No, no Nokia and Month Anniversaries " Even the really critical comments I appreciated, so thank you.

What feels really heart warming is that it seems there are people out there whom I've never met-- that only know me through the blog and podcast who seem genuinely concerned for my well-being. So again, thank you. You all gave me a lot to think about.

The good news is that I'm not broke! Oops! I thought I was. My debit card was declined yesterday while paying for a £15 parking charge. I thought that meant that I had no money in my account. I checked my bank balance this morning and I have enough money for the rest of the month -- (go me!) but seriously, I do need a job, soon. How long have I been out of work? Since September 9th -- 2 months!?! Oy vey.

A couple days ago I got a message on Facebook from a girl named Caroline who just started listening to my podcast. Caroline decided to listen to each podcast episode chronologically! Brave girl, that's a lot of Anjelika to listen to! Anyhow she's still on 2007. You may remember that in 2007 I spent 3 months being unemployed after having taken a trip to Rio? Well that's where she is now in the podcast. At the end of Caroline's message to me she asked if I ever found a man and a job?

How crazy is it that I'm still looking for a job? I know I've had employment since then, but my life is a constant battle between looking for a man, a job or both!

I'm always searching for a man or a job. And before I bought my flat, I was always seeking the trifecta: the perfect home, relationship and job.

When am I going to get the balance right? Maybe this is a constant struggle, I don't know? Or maybe once you have all your ducks lined-up in a row life becomes boring?

When does it stop feeling like a struggle and start feeling like smooth sailing?

It becomes "smooth sailing" when you're retired & old. And when there is nothing left to do!
