Quite Happy Today

I am quite happy today, and I'm hoping that it isn't the manic state before depression.

The reason I'm happy is that I thought my husband had gotten a crappy job. But, as it turns out, it isn't.

He works for an extended health care insurance company, and naturally, the benefits are so good that even sound ridiculous. As a fibromyalgia sufferer, I couldn't wish for more. I can go to physiotherapy everyday if I want to, and massage, acupuncture, counselling, naturopath, and medication have no-limit or a very high one, and we get a 100% refund. As I said, it's incredible. So I am in a party mood.

His job is unionized and he gets Christmas eve day off. Never heard of that one before. I thought the pension plan days were over, but he's lucky enough to get that. Ah, and he only works seven hours a day. Geez!

The starting salary seems a bit low, but he will get a 10% raise spread over the next two years, every six months.

The job is in many ways better than the one he lost, and that I thought impossible.

Anyway, those are very good reasons to be happy. My aches and pains have dimmed in the last couple of days, and I'm not surprised. The pressure for me to find work is gone, and I can now apply only for jobs I really want. I'm sure that just knowing that things have majorly improved for us all of a sudden will make feel much, so much better.

So yes, this is a good day.
