Appreciative Me
Lest anyone think I am all bitching all the time, witness this moment I had earlier in my kitchen, after Kris and I returned from the AT&T store, having signed up and gotten shiny new phones:
"You know, for broke people, we sure do have a lot of nice stuff. We both have Macs, both have iPods and both have shiny new phones with bluetooth headsets."
See? I am aware of the nice stuff and not just the nice NEW stuff either. All in all, things are going OK. I am tired. This is my first day off in 8 days and I still spent it working on freelance stuff all day and doing 3 weeks worth of laundry for two people. But I have a birthday in 6 days and that is nice. And my friends and boyfriend love me and that is nice too. It was hard there for a while with lots of work and Kris being overworked at his store and sick and I just felt generally really crappy. But nice things are happening all over the place and I can foresee a time in the future when things might improve permanently.
I had a job opportunity crop up and despite much effort and stress on my part and hopefully through no fault of my own, it may have slipped through my fingers. But it did make me feel good about myself for one hot second. And though the next couple of weeks are a bit crazy, I can feel myself wanting to take steps to resume the job search. People are helping me and I just have to stay positive and focussed.
