For the first time in a long time, I have been able to put in a full week at work. It’s funny how much it feels like I have made it to the end of the tunnel when I know it is just a bright light. I guess if you travel long enough in the darkness, just about any light seems bright. I have forgotten how it feels to ponder a normal expense like normal people do. I can’t explain how good it feels but if you have even gone from average yuppy salary to poverty level and then halfway back up again, then you know exactly what I mean. It feels oddly pleasurable to think about going to buy a gallon of milk and throwing in a treat for the kids. They don’t understand what has changed and they think they have been particularly good to deserve it.
