I Am Having the Best Day, Day 1

 I am trying a new tactic. For the record, yes I just broke down and checked my old cellphone. I didn't login to the iPad but I did check the Gmail address it's linked to check for missed calls or messages. Goose eggs. Daggers.  

Instead of just spilling my guts of all the pain and hurt I feel over this dumb situation, I am going to try to fool myself. If I claim it's the Best Day Ever, maybe I can feel that way too. Everything you are about to read is likely a lie. 

Today is Monday, August 9, 8a and I am having the best day.

It is 8a and I woke up with the biggest smile.  My bed smells lemony fresh. I checked my old "cell phone" and there were a dozen messages from My Old Boss. It was like old times. She apologized for being such a witch to me. She apologized for siccing her Boy Blue on Me. She apologized for that chilly sendoff. She acknowledged that Old Buddy doesn't do work but she isn't quite sure how to get rid of her because Old Buddy knows where the bodies are buried. 

She said I already made more than Old Buddy. In fact her salary is only 103 and was bumped up to 105 this year. 

I woke up and the pain in my bottom and shoulder and neck were gone. 

I woke up and went for a cool walk. It was unseasonably cool and the City built sidewalks so I can safely walk around my neighborhood. I didn't feel scared because I stopped watching crime shows last year and I don't even remember all the evil in the world. 

I reached my FIRE number and I know exactly the life I want. In fact I'm already living it! I plan to retire Next March after my BIG FAT BONUS.  I chose that day because I wanted to leave on a high. 

My Old Colleague that's been giving me a bit of anxiety decided to pursue another opportunity. It's amazing because I finally called her out on her nonsense.

I found ways to pass the time in the house. I didn't crave companionship anymore. I clean regularly. I've never seen another bug in the house.

I could remove the tape off the backdoor because the bugs stopped using the cracks as a doggy door. I bought patio furniture and I read and watch the sunset every night. 

I bough the comfiest of couches and sometimes I sleep downstairs and it's wonderful.

I'm a whiz at new job and caught on within a few weeks. The work is enjoyable and quite manageable. I'm one of the best and fastest. 

I found my people. I am happy with one social engagement per week. That is the right number.

Life is good! I am having the best day!

Come back tomorrow or likely later on today for more of the same!!!
