She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
- Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah

Yes, I am fully aware this is technically a Leonard Cohen song. But I've been in love with the Jeff Buckley version for years. It's so hauntingly beautiful, it chokes me up and makes me cry every time I hear it. Have a listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIF4_Sm-rgQ
Well, I accepted that job offer today. I'm not sure whether I'm starting in a week or two weeks, but either way, I'm sad to see my extended summer vacation come to an end. I'm not sad, however, about the fact that I will have income again. My savings have been dwindling. The job is in Michigan, but it's too far for us to stay at the lake house. The commute would be around an hour and forty minutes each way, and I'm just not going to do that. So for the time being, I think we're going to spend week days/nights at my folks' house and weekends out here. At least until we find a place of our own.
I'm sort of excited to get back to work, but more than anything, I'm feeling apprehensive and scared. I was so unhappy at my last two firms, that thinking about going back to work just fills me with dread. I'm hoping this new job will put an end to that sick, uneasy feeling and be exactly what I need to embrace the practice of law again. It will be an entirely different environment from the big firms I've worked for previously, so it's got that going for it. And the attorney I'll be working for seems really cool. It'll be an adventure.
And I'd just like to say how lucky I am to have Andy. I mean, I know that sounds sappy and like it should go without saying, but I am so blessed. Sometimes we take our significant others for granted. But today I realized that I really can tackle anything life throws at me as long as I have him by my side. And that makes me feel so much stronger. Love you, Bird.
