I love the weather we have been having. Upper 80's to lower 90's, clear blue sky. I've lived in Oregon for over half my life, I have learned to love and appreciate the rainy weather which allows me to live somewhere with such luscious green and beautiful plant life. These beautiful sunny days seem to transport me back to my childhood days, warm sunny ones in outskirts of L.A. Close enough to the beach that on a warm day, mom would load me and the siblings up in the VW bus and take a day trip to the beach. Laying on warm sun, the planes with the interesting banners floating overhead. Running into the water to cool off. Digging for sand crabs with my brother and sister, then watching them swim in our little sand castle bucket. Nothing bad happened on days like that. Everyone was happy. Even though it still feels like a lifetime ago, a car ride on a warm sunny day, with the radio blaring, windows down, wind blowing through my hair has made me feel like I am happy and carefree, that everything is all good.
I'm glad for this sun, part of me feels like I really need the boost of carefree feeling. My life has been a serious tumble of events lately. Life has thrown so many obstacles my way, my head is still reeling from one thing before another comes my way. I think things have finally stabilized somewhat, but doubt that's going to stay that way for long. I start a new job next week. Good, because being unemployed doesn't agree with my sense of needing to be interacting with others. Training is from May-August so in that time I will be full time Monday through Friday. After that, I'm on call, so we'll see how that goes.
