I am happy.

2 weeks ago I happened by a bar that I heard was opening soon, and this time, when I drove by, there were actually people in there. I gave them a resume and talked to them for awhile and then left. They called me the next day and hired me.

So, for the last 2 weeks I have been working at the Arizona Pub, actually making money, and actually liking where I work. I feel really good about this place; it's the exact environment I've been looking for since I left Maggie's almost a year ago.

The owner tells me on a daily basis how happy he is that I'm there, and that I'm doing a great job. I feel so good about this job... I finally feel like I'm home. All the other jobs I've worked in the last year, it was like I was hoping they were going to work out. This one, it's a gut feeling that it IS going to be ok.

Soon I will be able to pay off my credit card debt, buy some new clothes, get my car bumpers fixed, and save. Hell, I've started saving already. If all goes like I think it might, I can save close to $250 a week.

If everything in this last year was supposed to lead up to this, then I think it might have been worth it.

As far as everything else goes, shit's good. I am losing weight. This low carb diet has been a miracle for me. I still eat stuff I like, but I'm substituting breads and what not and I'm down about 10 lbs. Only 10 more to go before I'm a skinny shit again. I think I might actually have some sort of gluten allergy because I feel better and more energetic now that I don't eat pasta and breads. Who knew?

Chad and I are awesome, the house is great, and I'm looking forward to this winter when I will have enough money to go on vacation and visit my family and friends.

Oh, a random tidbit that I am excited about: I found a lady on craigslist who needed a model for hair extensions, so in two weeks I am getting my long hair back FOR FREE! I think my self-esteem will benefit from this immensely as I've been feeling sort of blah about my appearance, even with the weight loss.

So yeah. Things are on the upswing finally, and I'm grateful. Life is exciting again.
