Will They Or Won't They?

Hello Everyone:

Today I'm feeling a lot better.  I had a low energy morning but by the afternoon I was more energetic.  The only downside of the day was having to wait in line to get into the grocery store.  I think because of the curfews and it being the first of the month, people are anxious to buy their groceries. The other downer of the day was seeing national guard troops stationed near the grocery store.  I would so like to thank those four ex-police officers who thought smothering a suspect to death was a good idea for turning my city into an armed camp.  I hope they rot in prison.  Anyway, mum was feeling slightly better today. That's good.  I was chatting with the Brit BF and a friend from grad school about having to send copies of my diplomas to the city HR Department for a background check.  I love their optimism.  They both think the planning department is going make me an offer.  I hope they're right.  It would definitely be a huge step in the right direction and bring some serious changes in the house.  One thing at a time.  First let the city planning department make me an offer and then we'll go from there.  I'm really glad they finally got to me now as opposed to end of December, beginning of January because I suspect that if I had been hired back then, I'd be out of a job now.  Now, I have a credible shot of getting hired and remaining on the job.  Good.  I have some shot, medium, and long term goals I want to accomplish.  Anyway, my very short term goal is dinner.
