Believe it or not, I found my happiness again on Saturday! Friday still sucked, as my Perry appointment was about as bland an appointment as I've ever had. He seemed to have no interest in doing anything new to help my back problem, and I didn't have the energy to get into it with him. But since, for some weird reason, he didn't want to see me again until August, I gave myself the night off from exercise and being "good" about anything, even though I wasn't really "bad" about anything that night either. And by Saturday morning, knowing that I had the new AC coming that day, I woke up in a much better mood. And since they actually came and got it done at a reasonable hour, I was able to run around afterwards and do all my errands, which I didn't think I was going to get to do. And as it was a beautiful day, it was actually fun. Then, on Sunday, I spontaneously agreed to Sara's invitation to go to the pool with her and the kids and had an absolutely wonderful afternoon and evening with them. And even today, when my leg is probably the worst it's been in weeks, I have still managed to retain my good mood.

So much of it is people....any people almost! On Saturday, I had the AC guys to joke with for a bit; I talked to my new neighbor over the fence for a few minutes; I ran into my hairdresser in the grocery; and then, obviously, on Sunday, I had Sara and Eric and the kids. People, and time outside...I think those are two biggies for me. And this weekend I got a lot of both. So now, how to find a new job that combines both?
