Good things.

(Don't worry, I'm doing laundry and cleaning up between blog posts.) So I finally figured out that everyone where I work thought I was a brand new nurse the whole time I had worked there because I had just gotten my NEW YORK STATE nursing license last April. So I finally talked to someone in HR and gave her a copy of my IDAHO nursing license. And I got a raise. Finally got a little of the respect I deserved, the recognition that I deserved. Sometimes things can go your way. It's not perfect, I am still making less than one person working there who IS a brand-new nurse, but whatever. I like her, she deserves it. And I don't know that my raise will make much difference because I have to start claiming fewer people now that I am a single mom with custody of three kids... But hey, it's something. Something good. I need more *something good*s in my life. Talked to California for a minute this morning. His voice soothes me. Might go to the city this weekend to get more Danny hugs. He is the love of my life. My baby brother. And you might not believe it, but I really am happy that my ex-husband is seeing someone. Really. I always wanted that for him. I told him to find someone before we split up. I told him he deserved someone who felt the same way about him that he felt about them. It's true. I didn't feel that way about him anymore. Good things are happening in my life. Bad things too, but I'll take the good with the bad. I'll be okay. I'll be great, as a matter of fact. I will rise above chaos and drama and back-stabbing and whatever else keeps bringing me down. I'll rise above it. I'll soar.
