So...

I'd write more if I had a laptop. What with the straddling the two jobs it's been difficult to find spare time (at work - where my only internet access comes from) to write. I'm putting laptop (or netbook, as I've been informed I should invest in that direction) on the top of the list for my tax return. It's about time I had a computer and internet access at home and raised my techonological age to about ten (almost pubescent!). I really love that word, "pubescent."
So, yes. I'm transitioning into the new position nicely. Finally started actually doing stuff pertaining to the new job, instead of interim/sort-of-but-not-really work. And I'm glad for that.
My holidays were good. Some parts of it even great, I'd say. I spent a lot of time with people that I love, that love me, that have a positive influence in my life.
I have goals for this year that pretty much involve that - doing new things, meeting new people, cultivating new relationships, making time for those who are already important to me, and no longer sweating those who aren't. It sounds easy. We'll see, I suppose.
Anyway. Today was a good day. Today I felt better than I have in a while. A little bit of sunshine. A ray of hope through the 10 degree clouds we've been having. I don't know where this optimism has come from (maybe the pounds I've gained over the aforementioned holidays?), but I'm grateful for it (the optimism, anyway).
