I just woke up for a drink of water and decided to log in and see what was going on via my phone. I have to say when I touched on your subject line I was concerned you might be in crisis. I am happy to be wrong. You seem chipper.
Congrats on the new job.
i was out of work in December and the beginning of January. It was driving me crazy. Well I was manic and in patient in early December, so perhaps literally.

I totally understand the joy of getting that first paycheck and then assessing the pile of bills.
I understand about diminished attention spans beyondtherainbow I watched about twenty minutes of minions and realized I had only paid attention to the first ten minutes. I gave up and took a nap. I can't remember the last book I read until the end (including the audio one I didn't finish). It is very frustrating as I used to be an avid movie and book lover. I could fully concentrate on a subtitled film in Mandarin and enjoy the heck out of it followed by some Shakespeare. That was a long time ago though.
The titanic movie reference made me smile. It wasn't my favorite movie ever, but I saw it In the theater freshmen year of college with my favorite roommate.
