There has been a lot on my mind lately.

First – An Emu was loose on the PA turnpike. There were police officers who were trying – for hours – to catch the Emu to get him out of harms way. They finally decided to tase him in order to move him to a safe location. The taser ended up killing him. Breaks my heart through and through. Why didn’t they call Animal control???

Second – McCain & Palin. This republican ticket scares the crap outta me. If they are elected, we can say bye bye to reproductive rights (and seriously, that could include the pill in the not too distant future), bye bye to pristine Alaska due to drilling (and why drill? TEMPORARY SOLUTION! Why not go for something more long lasting that won’t further ruin the environment and invade the land of animals?) and so much more. To check out a scary website about Palin, go here! yikes.

Third – I am trying to remain positive with this world. I have updated my resume on so many job sites which feels great. The only calls I have gotten so far are from temp agencies, but at least the phone is ringing. I am trying to feel lucky that I have everything that I have, which in all reality, is a lot. An awesome boyfriend who cares about me even when I am bitchy, a crazy dawg who keeps me on my toes, loving parents, great friends, a car that runs, etc. etc. etc. Sooo even though I am not happy while at work or on my commute, and even though that consumes most of my days, in the end I should be happy that my home life is phenomenal and I have what I need to survive in this world.

Fourth - I do have to say - I had a set back earlier in the positive thinking department thinking about Jb (boy) & Jg (girl). Jb & Jg are the couple who live at the barn at which R pays half the mortgage. I read something on Jg’s page that made me cringe because it just reminded me how wonderfully she is living, rent free in a 4300 sq foot house, jobless with a brand spankin new convertible. It’s not so much what she said, just what it really means, that got to me. I need to let it go but I haven’t yet. Why am I not living rent free? Why am I struggling with 3 jobs to live in a 944 sq ft condo? Bleh. Positives, positives, positives. I guess they come and go. haha

And finally – I made it through yesterday (a Monday!) with my positive attitude. I think that has a lot to do with the bosses being at a conference, but I will take it regardless!

I hope your Tuesday is as wonderful as it can be! Then again, it almost would have to be, because it’s the only Tuesday you have to work with right now… hehe
