Living in the future

It's the first day in Florida that feels like fall, with a low this morning of 60 or so. It's probably under 80 now, outside--which is where I am, at a pretty park near work. I'm typing this on the Sidekick, entering it directly on the LJ web page. I was thinking yesterday that this was like a Star Trek communicator, but it isn't, of course; Roddenberry's vision wasn't this sophisticated.

Work is going well enough it's almost alarming; I don't know if it's that I have a stronger sense of focus than I did before or that I've just been underestimating myself. I'd forgotten that I actually enjoy being a temp/consultant. I just don't know if I can make a living this way. In 1994 or so life was cheaper for me.

A friend thought I was in an unusually good mood last night. Maybe. Goodness knows I shouldn't be, all things considered, right? But I'm looking forward to--well, whatever happens next. I'm feeling more optimistic and excited than I have in years.

Which is honestly nuts.

But hey, isn't it nice to read a journal about someone whose life is turning upside down who isn't angsting over it?

*applauds*

Good stuff. Keeping a positive outlook and being happy is always the way to go.

*hugs for the 'yote!*

Yes, it is nice, Chipotle. I'm glad to hear that for someone, somewhere, things are looking up. I'm glad it's you, too.

Good luck with this wacky, crazy, unpredictable thing we call life. You seem to have a handle on yours. :)

Take care!

Strictly for the record, my friend, you rule.
