Brand New Day

Not to plagiarise Sting, but today certainly was a brand new day. Despite the fact that McDonald's ripped me off for a cup of coffee, if you want to call it coffee, and the fact that when I got out of work, I had a flat, everything went better than I had expected.

First day on the new job and I had my first assignment. Of course, when the ads are already built for you, it is easy to swap text or images out as needed, but I did get a new challenge. You will all get to see my handy work in the Real Estate section of the Brownsville Herald this Sunday. And yes, there is a online edition.

Needless to say, contrary to how things have been these last few months, with the isolation and abandon, the anger, the sadness, and general moodiness and depression, I am stable. I am confident. I am happy with how things have turned. This may just be the meds talking, but I don't think I would have gotten the job at the paper if I was still feeling like how I was a month ago. The heavens know that I was having a hard enough time dealing with getting up in the morning, much less having to sit through an interview with a potential employer.

I only wish I had my son here to enjoy this new found hope. He would be the only thing that would make what was a totally awesome day, into a, dare I say, more awesomer day. We shall see what the future may bring. After all, tomorrow will be a brand new day.
