The Importance of Being Idle

Money Worries, The Perfect Girl and Cloudy Eclipse Day

Today has been spent in two distinct halves: in the first part I was happy and carefree and managed to get myself a job interview next week, in the second part I fretted about money and thought that it was all over.
Admittedly my financial situation isn't great, but y'know what? It hasn't been great for the whole of the past year, and I've managed to keep going for all that time, so surely I can keep rolling just a little longer until I get myself a job? That's my comforting thought on the matter at least, that and "well, it's only money right?". I mean sure money is kinda essential for modern life and all, but it is actually a soluble problem, it's not like I'm dying from some incurable disease: this is just a hitch, a problem that can and will be solved. All kindsa people have all kindsa money worries all the time, and if they can get out of it, then so can I!
On top of all that, I have Ronnie! She's everything I ever wanted in a girl-friend and partner, everything I ever dreamed you could have, and she keeps me going no matter what. In fact I was thinking about this the other day (in the bath, home of all my best thinking), even before we were dating, she always seemed to have some sixth sense to tell when I was feeling down, 'cos that'd be the day that I'd get a letter, or postcard or a little parcel from her, and she's always been there keeping me running.
So, yeah I have some money worries right now. Who doesn't right? I can face up to them, I can acknowledge that they're there, but they aren't going to run my life or make my decisions for me! I have so much good stuff around me, so much going right for the first time, now isn't the time to let a little thing like money scupper the whole thing.
Oh yeah, and as is typical of good ol' England, it was far too cloudy today to observe the partial eclipse. That's not really any surprise, it's always too cloudy to see anything in this country!
