So I think I got good news about my job today. I mean I still don’t have a formal offer but I got confirmation from one additional person that I am at least recommended for the position. This makes me very, very happy and almost justifies everything I’ve done over the past year. Granted there’s still a long way to go but I am allowing myself a bit of a celebration today and, more importantly, I’m letting go of some of the guilt I’ve been carrying around for the past six months.

I feel prettier already!
