It's easier to smile at work, knowing that it's only a temporary situation. It's easier to smile now that other people are smiling too.

I'm in a good mood. I had a great trip this last weekend, I'm going to the races in Bakersfield this coming up weekend. My job interview went really well, they like me (!) and want me to come in and work a few shifts to see if i like it. I'm still stressed about michael, but I'm also pretty sure that things will work themselves out however they ought to be.

(I'll probably be back to worried and emo on that one soon enough, but for now i just can't be brought down.)

When my current job ends, I'm looking forward to having a little bit of time to get things in order - my house, my car, my life. I'll probably take a week or two to get everything together, and maybe even get to see my boyfriend and some friends.

I'm so hopeful.
