Good Things:
1) Just planted 2 lbs of bulbs - tulips, daffodils, crocus, and hyacinth-somethings. The first two in a trench, the others in pots. It's an experiment to see if the gophers eat them all. I used to love gardening. Then we bought this house (8 years ago in January) and everything I loved died due to sand, heat, gophers, and deer. Finally, I am trying again.
2) Did I mentioned I finally got a PT job? I was afraid to say anyhting at first in case I hated it, but it's working out ok. Money = good.
3) Weight loss = very slow (3 lbs/month) but at least I'm not gaining. And I'm actually looking forward to doing my belly dance dvds, since I re-found them last week.
4) The new routine is difficult, but I think once I finally adjust, it will be good. Having to be dressed and interact with people on a regular basis means I can't fiddle around and procrastinate.
4a) In the last two weeks, I've finished another two chapters on the novel. Ten down, twenty-six to go! My goal is one per week, minimum. And yes, this is the Jensen-graduate-student story.
5) Never underestimate the joy of being able to breathe through both nostrils. I don't think I've ever had a cold that was that bad for six days in a row. Blech.
6) It's soup season! And flannel sheets! And cuddling with the boy and beast! Yay!
7) Why yes, I *am* feeling a bit Pollyannaish. Life is good. :)

Congrats on the PT job and your weight loss! Yes, it's slow going, but like you said, at least you're not gaining.
Speaking of soup, hubby fixed Mexican Soup for us today. It's overcast and drizzly here today, and it hit the spot!
I can't wait to read your newest offering! You know I'll read anything Jensen-related!

I'm not planning to post here until the story is complete, but it's the one I've been sharing on shiny. :) I hope you like it! *hug*
