Got bit by the happy bug
Today while walking across the bridge from campus, I realized that for the first time in a long time, I'm sincerely happy.
At the moment, my mom is what I'll call "Dickless", meaning the boyfriend is away on a trip. I actually get to spend quality time with the woman for once, well at least until he comes back on Friday.
My dog has recovered from what looked like he was about to meet his maker last night. I took him for a very long walk and wore him out past what his 13 year old giant-dog body would let him do. I seriously thought he was dying last night, and then I wake up this morning to him licking my face with a wagging tail, ready to chase me up the stairs to breakfast.
I got another call from the manager of the dental office I'm looking to join in Boston. They're sending me a formal "office application" and as soon as they get it back, they want to do a phone interview with me. Her reasoning for this is that she wants to "maximize their time with me while I'm there at the end of May." I discovered that this "maximum time" means they want me there the whole day, from participating in the daily staff meeting before the work day begins, straight through their average work day to meet all the staff and get acquainted with the flow of the office. I'm thinking this is a good sign, right?
Aside from a small bump in the road regarding our Boston planning, TJ and I are doing great. I love that man and couldn't be prouder of him at the moment too; he just finished his last undergrad semester with all A's and graduates with his 2nd bachelor degree on Sunday. The bump in the road had to do with whose vehicle would be making the thousand-mile trek to Boston. Turns out, once I finally stopped telling and started listening to his reasoning on things, I realized we'd be perfectly fine with no vehicle at all. He completely agrees with me. We wouldn't be sans-car the whole time, just until I get a steady job in the career I want. This milestone would allow us enough of an income to afford the insurance, etc. to have a car and still be able to afford rent.
So all in all, life is good, the weather is perfect today, and for the first time in a long time, I can finally enjoy life and not have to worry about something.
