The Good and the Hopeful

The good news: I've walked 12+ miles in the last week and discovered that the P.O. is only 1 mile away; the Bank/Grocery Store is only 1.5 miles; and there are two parks pretty and relaxing parks with nice trails in between.

The even better news: I've managed to plan out the entirety of my romance novel over the course of 20 chapters. Which means all I have to do now is actually write it (I have 4.5 chapters done).

The hopeful news: The company I interviewed at over two weeks ago called today and they're going to make their decision next week. I thought they'd just decided I was absolutely horrible and not worth calling back. Please, God, if you're there and listening, I really, really need this job.

And now for something completely different: It's such a nice change to have a President who I can stand to listen to for an hour without wanting to shout "You're nothing but a Talking Monkey Puppet" and throw things at the TV. That said, Clinton may have been charismatic, but Obama comes off as very intelligent and well-studied, which really inspires confidence. At least in me. My grandad is probably cursing him for his "socialist agenda" but I was shocked to find out that almost 4 million people had lost their jobs nationwide. I hadn't heard the number recently. A couple of months ago I hit a wall and stopped wanting to know who else was unemployed and competing with me for the very few jobs available.
