1) my new job pays 68% as well as my teaching job did (I know that sounds like bad news but I’m good with it)
2) I won $142 betting on baseball today (risking $200 of next week’s income) booya!
3) My dog hasn’t been that freaked out for the 4th probably because it’s not so crazy because it’s been raining all day (ha ha)
4) there’s a whiff of optimism in the air and now that I’m no longer applying for jobs I can smoke weed again
