Could the nightmare be ending?

    I'll try to be as brief as possible today.  I know what you're all thinking:  Mere?  That chatterbox?

    Is it possible the nightmare that has been my life for 10 months could be coming to an end?

    I will be talking to the apartment management company in a while about when I can move in.  I can't wait to be on my own.

    I just got a plumb job, although it is not a full-time gig.  There's this company that does Chicago history tours, most of which are water tours.  They either just use the Chicago river, or also go out onto Lake Michigan.  Top Chicago historians try to get these as side gigs.  Well, will wonders never cease?  I was just hired, and they want me to start immediately!  When coupled with these classes I'm doing, I'll be very busy.

    By the way, those classes are off to a flying start.  Two very good groups of students.  One of them, a very attractive young lady, called me "cute" in front of the class.  Oh, dear......DOWN, MERE, DOWN!!!!

    I don't know about the Analyst spot yet.  Quite frankly, I'm not holding my breath on that one.

    But then I got another message today.  About a year or so ago I applied as a Union Researcher with the California Nurses Association (AFL-CIO).  I never heard back from them.  Until today.  They wanted me to send them my latest contact information and, if available, my most current resume.  I did both.  The job pays an incredible amount of money.  I'd have to relocate to California (watch out, Lilienne!!!!!), which is hardly an issue with me.

    I also had a great day yesterday with my daughter.  We went and saw "Akeelah and the Bee," an absolute treasure of a film.  I wrote a review of it in the Forums.  Go see it!!!!!  She also drained me of my cash, which I so willingly gave.  We had so much fun together.  Even if she did drop her pizza slice on the ground (the pretty young lady behind the counter gave us a new one for free!).

    I see the endo in less than two months.  I can't wait to start on hormones.

    This makes almost one solid week of feeling happy.  That's not right.  I'm generally allowed only one happy day a month.  Something is bound to happen.
