It has been raining here for two days. I cannot explain my thing with rainy days fully. I like them but if it goes on for a while I start feeling low. This time however I feel okay and happy.

I had a drug-test for the new job yesterday and was also fitted for a N-95 mask. So exciting! I love every little part of the process. I am so glad I am going to be working almost 30 hrs a week during orientation and also get paid better for it. I am not a very money-minded person but I will be lying if I did not admit the prospect of not living pay-check to pay-check anymore is a relief.  We have decided to not get carried away and spend on little things but instead save up for the bigger things – a house, a new car, bedroom furniture. We absolutely need to have a new car first because we both have ended up finding jobs which are  not close to home ,so driving the mean green geo is just not a safe option anymore.

Yesterday we decided to have some food ordered cause the whole week we had been eating at home and the biggest of our principles does not hold a candle to a Friday evening. So we went out thinking we will get Chinese take-away, come home and be with the pets and watch ‘The Help’. But instead we ended up somehow going to Buffalo Wild Wings ,had a beer each and had a great time, just us. It might seem weird ,the just us part, but a lot of times we end up going out with friends and so this was a welcome change. After that John was in a mood for some pop-corn and since our microwave is broken now, we had to get ‘jiffypop’ and of course a packet of Hershey drops.

Today John took me out for my new job treat to Udupi South-Indian restaurant in Cary but he did not want to eat. He has got to have some sorta meat and while I felt bad he could not enjoy the delicious food, not bad enough to stop me from gorging. I thought I would have to come home and just lay flat on the floor like my cat. Driving back home in the mild rain was good, comforting.

It is my friend Megan’s birthday tonight and we are going out for drinks.

So you see guys, all is good in my world. I do not know if this means my blogs will not have much to offer in terms of entertainment, a general tendency to feel okay when you see someone else going through life’s share of shittiness. But sometimes we all need a good break and I guess this is mine.

I hope I finally make that desired start to my career.

look at those big curious eyes
