Happiness is No More Goddamn Snow.

We survived the nor'easter with no damage, just some downed branches. Thank. God. Other people lost homes, so I'm not crying over some branches. That damn storm last three days.

Today, though? Today is marvelous. It is warm and sunny and wonderful. I have outside working on the yard and soaking up the glorious sun. Last night we even slept with the window open- first time since last year. Aaahhh...I feel so refreshed and uplifted by the weather.

Brian and I planted two trees today and fingers crossed that they actually make it. In the two years we've been in the house, we've not planted anything. This year, we're getting our hands dirty. Neither of us knows what the hell we're doing, but we're going to do it anyway. Our yard needs color and texture and shape.

The sunporch is a frightful mess, but I've replaced the storm windows with screens and washed off some of the chairs. Brian is already out there listening to the Red Sox/Y(sk)anks game on the radio and reading the papers. What an old man. I just adore him. I'll join him in a minute.

Tangent. I stopped procrastinating on something very important and took care of it this morning. It's something I've been dreading more than I can say, but I put on my big girl pants and did it anyway.

Tangent #2. I've applied for two jobs this week. One is not a full-time position, but it's exactly the job I want to make a career out of someday so I am really hoping it works out for me. The other job is a software test engineer position, something I did before I left Seattle. I also really, really, really want this job. I'm nervous as hell about it because I've been out of the field for a while, but I know I can do it. I am so fucking ready for a new job. I loathe my job. If I were to get both of these positions, I think I would shit myself in happiness.
