Well, I seem to have finally recovered from the minor setback from eighteen months ago...
I was kept on after the holiday rush at the same temp gig I worked last winter (last winter, I was not so lucky)
I'm not gonna take this for granted, not going to assume anything will be too easy, there is always the risk of fucking up and falling out
Even through my period of stalled or even downward mobility, i have been seeing/dating/hanging out with an awesome woman who does not necessarily share all my geeky predilections, but shares enough and is just nutty enough in her own way that I count myself supremely lucky to know her
My landlord died a couple of weeks ago, his brother will be taking over the complex, my neighbor Bart,the sweet, goofy old recluse passed on at the beginning of october
I chuckle inwardly at Angry Birds because that was once my domain, but now I'm mostly amused and any anger I still posess, I try to harness towards better purposes, time money and effort when I can spare them towards whatever causes catch my conscience
It's kind of funny, I've rejected religion, but now, for the most part, better embody the teachings I was raised on, I found love when I quit looking, I'm in kinda lousy shape, but am at my best weight since I was 18
In the last 6 weeks, I have marked 20 years since the kick and the shallow grave, in the last six months I've marked ten since the freaky week in the hospital.
Things could ALWAYS be better- no doubt-, but they could also be far, far worse
Small health matters notwithstanding, I feel pretty fuckin' good
