Today was a good day!

The work account was still an issue, but the tech support people were able to give a temporary fix. So, I was able to get all of the pre-employment paperwork, computer based training and general logistics taken care of. I start 10am on Wednesday!

Also, kept going on my Spring Cleaning and worked on another room. For the first time in a long time, I felt ownership over my house, and I guess, life. Yes, I'm an adult and yes, I can make my own choices, but when the only people who seem to give a @#$% constantly criticize my methods, choices and general competence and then say, "Here's what we're going to do." I don't have helpful family. I have a drill sergeant. Even when I agree with the solution, it's not agreement, it's following orders. It's just annoying how the man cannot cede control in any way.

I could go on, but I'll stop here because today was a really good day!
