Ah, Life

Hello, Jefferson Animal Hospital; Goodbye minimum of $101 to find out why my cat keeps upchucking.

Living the Dream

The title of this post keeps running through my head. It’s been my standard answer to many a perfunctory “How are you?” over the years, but it seems more true than ever lately.

I got an incredibly unexpected pay increase this morning at work. I haven’t stopped smiling since.

I can’t imagine how my life could be much better. I’m sure it could be, but for now, I have more than anyone could ask for. My health is good and only getting better, I have a good job (even if it’s not what everyone dreams of) making good money, and better money as of 11:00 am this morning. I have my family and my friends. I have an exciting new romance that shows tons of promise and gives me butterflies. Making ends meet, getting by, if not ahead. I have my cat. Life is fantastic.

Of course, that means something has to go wrong soon. I just hope it’s small, like my car breaking down or losing my debit card.

But sitting here, with the windows open taking in some of this wonderful Kentucky pre-autumn air, letting the breeze drift over my skin still damp from an incredible swim, I don’t want to think about that right now. I want to smile, and feel my heart skip a beat every time my phone beeps, and listen to the world outside the window. I want to revel in a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Quick Update

Going to Chicago on Sunday.  Back Tuesday.

Got a flat tire Friday night.  Now have two new tires.  Thanks to a good friend.

HTV is going well, despite a couple of small hurdles we’ll need to jump.

I’m getting better at managing my money.

I’ve been told my disposition has improved dramatically.  I hope so.

I want to go back to Jazzercise really badly. 

I need to get back on track with my bartending stuff.

I’m tired.
