Great day today; I was offered the job I wanted. This means better pay and benefits than I had at the job I lost, and I like the work better in many ways. It's further from home, but as I said before, it means I get off work near my range, the library, BJJ schools . . . . I joined a 24-hour gym nearer my home this week so I can get back on track on getting into shape.
We had a dispute over that and a couple of other small issues relating to working out--centering on who asked who to work out together, discouraged who to join which workout . . . that kind of petty junk. I feel pretty good about it, though, because again we were able to have it out and talk about what was wrong, and when it was over we both felt better. A year or two ago, I would have brooded over it. I'd have been irritated at first, then angry, then furious, but I wouldn't have brought it up to her because I'd have been afraid that she was going to burst into tears and wail about how awful she is. (And she would have done it, if I'd decided to test the theory.)
