Acceptance
I accepted
a new job. I am having, by virtue of
that acceptance and the fact that there is NO available housing in the town to
which I am moving, to accept the kindness of strangers.
I met Nancy
when I interviewed for my new job. She
is one of the supervisors at my new job.
She very kindly offered to let me stay with her while I was
house-hunting. Since it is a 308 mile
round trip from my current house to my new job, I gratefully accepted.
I do not
like living with other people.
There, I
said it.
Having said
it, I am nothing but grateful for her kindness.
She has made me welcome, given me space (both figuratively and
literally) and we are getting to know each other. I am still looking, every day, for a place to
rent. It is beyond nice, though, to not
have to spend my money and time on a long commute.
I just have
always been better at giving - anything - than at receiving.

I don't care for being a guest in someone's home for longer than a day or two. Please God that a new living arrangement presents itself soon! In the meantime, I think it's kind of cool that one of the supervisors at your new job offered this!
