What a beautiful night! The sun is still out, there's a light breeze, people in the park across the street are entertaining me with a fierce game of extreme Frisbee, and I'm enjoying my ice water while the boys have boy time on the back deck. I woke up from a power nap feeling super refreshed and oddly buoyant. Giggly and content. If I could bottle this feeling up and sneak a little out, everyday, for the rest of my life, I'd be a happy little camper 
The job search isn't going so well, which 2 days ago had be completely depressed but today is a new day. I had a talk with my boyfriend about my frustration, my embarrassment and my anger about losing my job and how that's obviously keeping me from putting all my energy into my search. I love talking to him. It still amazes me how utterly compassionate he is and how he can just calm me down, with even a few words. Even though our bills and rent getting paid rests on his shoulders for the time being, he's confident and so reassuring that it's hard to stay depressed. I have finally figured out that it is possible to love someone so much that you feel you might burst. So, after our talk, we've decided that this weekend will be a balls out party with friends and family and Monday it's back to business. He's offered to help me look and he's helping me out with my resume and all that stuff. Haha, he's even asking if I want to do mock interviews, which could actually be fun. Role playing people.

My 16 year old nephew had a horrible skateboarding accident last week which landed him in the ICU for a few days. He doesn't remember the accident at all, but while out skating with a friend, he fell and fractured the back of his skull near his left ear and along his jaw. A lot of blood loss from his ear, along with cerebral fluid and gnarly road rash on his back and shoulders. He also has hearing loss in that ear and still can't remember anything from the accident. Talk about being freaked the fuck out. He's home now, under strict conditions from his doctor and the watchful eye of my sister and my brother-in-law. He can't play soccer for at least a year, which has him completely upset. He just made the Varsity team this last year too and was having such a blast. Breaks my heart. But, even though it goes without saying, it could be a hell of a lot worse so we're all glad that's it. One day at a time.
Ahhh, the breeze just found it's way through the window again and I think it's telling me something. It's time to take a book outside and enjoy the sun while it is still out tonight. I'm very much looking forward to a beautiful sunset. I wish I had remembered my camera charger so I could take some pictures, but I left it at home. And I have my iPhone plugged in as my iPod at the moment...Might have to sacrifice tunes for photo's here in a minute.

I'm really amazed at how great I am feeling lately. I've had to battle some health problems for the last 5 1/2 years, and in that time I just really let myself go. I went from being in the best shape of my life to being in the worst. But, I'm finally at a point where I can get back on the right track, and I am taking advantage of it
