Hip hip hooray! Life is good.

I haven't posted anything in a while. Partly because I didn't have much positive to say and partly because I've been settling into the groove (which in itself is probably a positive). The groove has been night shift: up nights, sleeping days. I've enjoyed it, even though it can feel a little isolating.

I switched back to day shift this week for some football on Sunday and a job interview on Monday. Sunday was really fun, I watched my first Broncos game this season while Allison watched the Bears game at a bar in La Jolla. I can actually count on one hand the times that I've gone to a bar for a purpose other than meeting up with other people. It was actually really fun and the Broncos won against the Raiders.

Sunday facilitated my transition to days so I was actually wakeful during my interview on Monday. I was interviewed by the lady who initially hired me at Scripps, who has since taken on a new position in a new department. She offered me a job that I'm really pumped about. It is everything that I was looking for when I came out here, and it manifested itself in a way that I couldn't have imagined. I feel a little weirded out and tingly about it; the universe and I are simpatico at the moment, and life is working as it should. Savoring this feeling and this moment.

This weekend kicks off five weeks of visitors coming to see us. Tracy and Chris are coming tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing them. It's Tracy's birthday tomorrow and we have something planned that I hope turns out to be really great. All the cards in place for an excellent time. Next weekend my mom and grandma are coming to visit us. They are doing a California road trip starting in San Jose and ending here with us. I'm really surprised and glad that my grandma is making the trip, I look forward to seeing her (and it goes without saying my mom too!). The following weekend the Maysers are visiting, which should be just great. We've got a Bronco game planned here while they are the visitors to the Chargers. That will be a new experience going to a visiting stadium, though a guy on my soccer team pointed out that many people follow their teams to San Diego because of the beautiful weather year round. The next weekend I will work, unfortunately a requirement! But then, Jen C and hopefully Rick come to visit to end our Visitation Month. Jen has a veterinary conference here. We are going to take a road trip up to LA and see Panic with the Allman Bros. THAT should be fun.

I hope my new job doesn't get in the way of all this fun I have planned. I'm sure it will all get figured out. Speaking of the weather, I am reading on Facebook that it is starting to turn cool in Colorado and I think I'm about to really appreciate that I live here in San D. It is a little bit cooler, staying a steady, sunny 70 degrees. At night it's cool and pleasant with all the doors and windows open.

I'm a little drunk and over-tired right now so my thoughts are cloudy. I can tell that my writing is sucky. But I just want to express that I've stayed positive through some uncertainty in the last 6 months or so (is life ever certain?) and I've had amazing results. When I've felt adrift, Tolle's concept that I am fulfilling my destiny simply by bringing consciousness forward into the world anchors me. I feel in tune with the vibration here. I've created a space for my own life here. My intuition is spot on. And there is abundance in this universe, all for the taking but not for the forcing. I constantly prepare myself for the blessings continually bestowed on me so that I may receive them consciously. And while I am truly grateful, I also know that I deserve no less. No matter what tomorrow brings, this moment is, and that is peace.
