Little things...
I got an email yesterday from one of my co-workers in Atlanta! She was the lead teacher in my classroom, and I had given her my email address when I left. Apparently, she meant to write me sooner, but she couldn't find the card that had my email address in it, and it just turned up at her boyfriend's house when he was cleaning out his room, lol. But at any rate, it was really nice to hear from her. She wrote me a really nice email telling me about how the kids in our class are doing, and she actually quit working there a couple of weeks ago too (because the management sucks, like I said). I sent her an email back telling her what I've been up to since I left, and asking her if she had gotten a new job or was getting one. I didn't expect to hear back from her for a while, but I got another email back from her tonight! She is starting her new job August 14. This is SO COOL! It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that she even emailed me in the first place, lol...I'm SOOOOO easy to please, seriously, it doesn't take much :-P So that was pretty much the highlight of my day yesterday, which I neglected to mention in my moody ranting last night, lol. But my mood has gotten much better tonight, between getting this second email from her, and watching a hilariously stupid movie with my parents ("Failure to Launch", lol...it's SO silly and stupid that it's absolutely hilarious...we were all laughing SO hard!), and Chris IMing me to gush about how there's a live stream of this drum corps competition, lol...which was pretty amusing ;) And Marcus made it to Orlando, he called me to tell me he got there safely (aw, how sweet of him, lol...he knows me well) before he went to sleep, since he got up really early this morning to drive there from camp. He said he'll call me tomorrow when he's actually DONE stuff in Orlando besides sleep. LOL. He's such a funny boy ;) He'll go home in a few days, and then he'll get his turn to be bored, lol...and THEN he'll see what I've been whining about all this time ;) He doesn't think I've been whiny, but I know I have.
I found the application for my parking permit for next year online (thanks, Marcus!!!), so that's one less thing I'll have to do when I go to Baltimore on Thursday! So it's just the fingerprinting. Which shouldn't take TOO long (unless there's a long wait for some reason...all those criminals in Baltimore, lol ;)), so that's good. I got half of my reading for next week done today, I'm planning to do the other half tomorrow. And then if I get home early enough on Thursday, I might try to do at least half of my reading for the following week then, since we're going to Connecticut next weekend. But whatever I don't get done on Thursday, I can do on the following Tuesday. So it's all good.
I'm feeling very optimistic tonight. That's a good sign that my mood is headed back in the right direction! I just need to relax...things always work out somehow, so I should just stop worrying so much about everything. And I'll be much happier then. Like I've been for the past few weeks (before these last couple of mood-swing-y days). Yay, life is good :)
