Following my last blog, E the E pointed out to me that "self pity isn’t sexy," so I have been attempting to remain relentlessly positive since then.  My birthday dinner with the Family went quite well, and life in general has been fine over the past several days.

I’m following the advice in "What Color is Your Parachute," and performing a major self-assessment before continuing my job search.  I’m going to the gym every day and eating [mostly] right.  I’m cleaning up after myself, getting the dishes clean on a regular basis, and will be attacking my piles of clean clothes tomorrow.
