Inventory of fantastic commentary directed at me lately:

"I received your voice message that you left for me on Friday. I'm sorry I wasn't here to speak with you in person--you leave a delightful message."

A grandma upon meeting me: "Ooooh--you're pretty!"

"You're one of my favorite people; I'm glad we finally have a class together."

"I love you."

After being marooned in my ex-apartment due to waiting for a 10:30 Humira delivery requiring a signature that finally arrived at 5:32, I have allllllllmost completed my entire teaching portfolio.

Twice I've gone to Temple Square to try and get into the Conference Center; twice I've watched from the Tabernacle: a bigger screen than at home (but further away), and substituted couch for wooden bench...one day I'll get tickets and get in for realz!

Today's thinking: Go into every application process knowing you'll get the job: write your best coverletter, shine in your resume, and enjoy it all--you'll get a lot of jobs this way, and then you won't mind so much when you don't get some others.
