Caffeine really is a most marvelous substance.

I am so perky today, I don't know what's the matter with me! But so far, so good. I found a couple more places to fax a résumé to tomorrow, which entails a run by Mom's workplace in the morning and lunch with her, which is cool since she has more cruise pictures to show me; then, I'm driving up to the ol' Alma Mater to check out the alumni career counseling place and have coffee with Jocasta and Nappy.

And there's more! Irony of all ironies, there's a full-time Mail Clerk job listed on the employment website at the U right now. Guess which job I did as workstudy for five years when I attended there? Ding! Ding! Bet I could get that one with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back, if they haven't already filled it. Here's hoping, because that, I can do. Oh yeah. Back at the U, with co-workers I already know, doing a job that I actually kind-of enjoyed when I wasn't asleep on my feet from studying/partying late? I'm all over that.

Well, here's hoping. And praying. And crossing all of my fingers and toes!

I also cleaned several months' worth of accumulted mayhem out of my room today, did a few loads of laundry, bagged up our empty pop-cans, carried several weeks of spare newspapers out to the curb, and did the dishes, but that could probably be chalked up to the two cups of coffee and the vitamin I took this morning. Knew there must have been a reason that was part of my morning routine at work. *grin*

At this rate, I might actually have the energy to dive back into the story I was writing two months ago, that I sort of took down from my website and chucked when the depression got too bad. I might not be Ms. Whiz Writer yet, but I'll never be if I don't try, right? Funny how that's so hard to remember when you're near the event horizon of a black hole ... not only does time get distorted, so does everything else, including memory and others' encouragement. Hey! I'll have to remember that ... astrophysics as metaphor for emotion. It works.

... Um, as apparently the "Filed Away" link on this site has not? What happened to the auto-archiving? Great. Nothing since mid-July is appearing on it. Time to crack the knuckles and break out the Web skillz.
