Delusions of... Everything: Life IS Good

June 25, 2010

Life IS Good

Things are going very good in the life of imom!

I really truly LOVE my new job.

I got my first paycheck since January!

Somehow our house appraised 30K over what it appraised at 9 months ago even though home prices in Seattle continue to drop at an alarming rate. This appraiser gave us credit for things the other appraiser didn't, like a view(!) and he saw the condition of the house as being above average, where the other guy said it was just average. We have continued to work on the house and maybe that showed through this time around, who knows! This means we will refinance with ease!

Back in January I posted my horoscope for 2010 and it looked very promising even though things were not going well for me. I'm re-posting it here with the things that have happened in bold.

For all you Sagittarians out there here's what you can look forward to in 2010. (From this site)

Did you just hear that gigantic cry of "hooray"? That was the sound of millions of Sagittarian lives getting better in 2010. Pluto has moved out of your sign, and Saturn has left Virgo (which wasn't doing you any favors either, as you may have noticed from the unusual pressures in your home life, and the difficulties you've had getting what you need to feel secure).

Of course, as much as you'd like all of life to match that happy, carefree streak you have, you know it doesn't always work out that way. The big pressures have just moved on and changed form. Fortunately, your reputation for being able to see the bright side of things will generally be justified by these new issues. There will be new challenges to your money supply and how you handle your money, and yet you'll also have new opportunities to correct problems in your material life, and maybe even prosper more than you ever have before.

Work is also going to present new roles and new opportunities, and will also give you chances to shine. And there will also be new demands from your friends and loved ones. But those same issues will help you sort out who is of real value to you, and what your real value is to them too. The hard work that you've sometimes had to put in during the last two years is going to start paying off for you. And for some of you, the rewards will be enormous. Can I hear a "hooray" out there?

So to recap the first 6 months of 2010...
