I'm a happier Maus today...

I'm very glad I took a day off from work today--it's a kind of early birthday present. I slept in a bit, cleaned up the apartment, made a nice big breakfast. I've got some jasmine tea with honey, and today I'm going to plug my resume into the U of M website for a couple of openings. I dropped another copy of it off at the MIA last night as well. (I emailed them a copy a while back...I think I forgot to add my phone number to it. D'ohhhhh... hopefully this will be a better idea.)

I feel a lot better now that I've got something in motion. and if things get a little tight with the money, I can cope. I keep juggling plans and needs and possibilites around to see how they fit in various "What if" scenarion.--What if I find something right away, what if I don't, what if I can't hang on for a while longer at the Inferno....

And my posts won't be so panicked and serious once I get over this thing. I'll be a better Maus for it, I think...

I'm glad of...

I'm glad I have a cup of tea.
I'm glad I have time for a serious nap later.

I'm glad I can look out for them in return.
I'm glad for you. and you. You know who you are...
I'm glad I have lots of stockpiled yarn and art supplies.
I'm glad I have my opinions...
I'm glad I have half a working brain...Though sometimes i wish I could add just one more brain cell to it lately...
I'm glad I've been through many weird experiences...so I can compare notes.
I'm glad I've come to some good relationships with people I care for.
I'm glad I'm getting older.


I'm glad of all these things and more, so much more...
