As much as I don’t like to portray myself as a victim, I feel as though I am a casualty of the recession.  By all rights this should be an exciting time of my life.  I just graduated from on of the best universities in the United States.  I’m twenty-three years old.  By all rights, the world should be my oyster.  Yet, like so many other Americans, I cannot find a job.  Because of what’s happened to our economy, I am forced to compete for entry level positions with veterans twice my age.  I don’t begrudge them the work, as I’m sure they need it more, having mortgages and children and such.  But where does that leave me? Living with my parents?  They’re having a hard time too.  I know that things will get better, I just hope that it’s soon.

How is my day going?  Well, when I really think about it, my day mirrors the weather today; it’s been dark, wet, and gloomy.  I should say now that I am usually a person who enjoys the rain.  Be it a drizzle or a down pour, I am of the disposition to step out into it and have some fun.  That’s what I tried to do today.  I figured it couldn’t hurt.  I was a little bit depressed, as I have been for quite some time, and we’ve all read something here or there about exercising elevating mood, so I tried to utilize a little free, common sense medicine.  Yeah, tried that, and it just didn’t work.  Fortunately, there’s still all evening left, and I should be able do something enjoyable to turn this day around and get myself out of this rut.

I have two cats, one of them is very fat and the other one is thin.  The reason for these differing weights is because the fat cat steals all the food from the thin one.  The fat cat never does anything other than lay around all day.  The only exercise this obese feline gets it walking from the couch to the food bowl.  I have tried regulating his food but I have to put down enough food for two cats.  The large cat eats it all so quick that the smaller one does not have a chance.  The poor skinny cat has to fight to get enough food to live.  I feed the skinny cat snacks while the big cat sleeps.  I have to do it quick because the plump cat wakes up and will come begging.

I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  It is a wonderful place to live and is truly the heart of the Southwest.  I love living here and would not want to live anywhere else.  The weather is wonderful as it rarely gets too hot or too cold.  I have lived here most of my life with brief stays in California and Texas.  I live on the 4th floor of a four-floor apartment.  It is nice and quiet in my apartment complex.  I enjoy living here but I will be moving into a house soon.  I cannot wait to move into my new house with its huge yard.

Today was a pajama day… all day!  I never got out of my PJ’s.  This is a fun thing to do once in awhile.  I did not sleep very well last night, so I just sat around all day in my nightclothes.  My pajamas were just plain grey pajamas, nothing special.  I had little grey booties with green hearts on them to match my nightgown.  I did not wear any jewelry or anything in my hair.  My only accessory was my brown-checkered glasses.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a more fashionable day for me.  You cannot beat the comfort of today’s outfit though.

If I could have one thing in the world it would be to have my health.  Without your health you have nothing.  My health has suffered some in the recent years and I hope to get it back.  I was always healthy and I never appreciated how much health meant.  If you feel bad the whole world seems less enjoyable.  If I could have only one thing in the world my health is what I would choose.  I would not want money or anything else in the world that money can by.  I would just want my health and nothing else.

My little daughter is the most important thing in my life!  She is not even two years old yet but she has such a wonderful personality.  I enjoy spending time with her and to have her in my life is absolutely a gift.  I love her more than anything in the world.  I would protect her with my life.  I want to give her the best future possible and make sure she grows up happy and strong.  I do not work outside of the house and I spend my days nurturing her and watching her grow.  We are very close even though she is so young.

Like many youngsters, my favorite childhood memory is a trip to Disneyland.  I still love Disneyland to this day because of my recollections from childhood.  It truly is a magical kingdom.  I remember driving into the parking lot and seeing the sign.  I knew then it was going to be a great day.  Once I entered the gates, I could smell candies and all sorts of wonderful concoctions.  I immediately began searching for that famous mouse.  I did not find him but I found Alice in Wonderland.  She was as cute as a button.  I took a picture with her and went off to ride the teacups!  It is a memory that I will cherish until the day I die.
