Can't complain when there are palm trees.

It has been a long, but productive day. Work has been going great, and I'm really enjoying the work I get to do and the creative freedom and autonomy I have to just go after what needs to be done. I still lack some direction and knowledge about the whole industry, but that will come with time.

And on my third trip to the DMV today, I finally got my license and transferred the title on my car. So I am an official Californian now. I of course had to take the test on traffic laws and I of course failed the first time (by one point!) but the second time around I got 100%, so I was elated to be gone from there by hour three. Thankfully, I shouldn't have to go back there for a long long time.

I got home around 4:30 and did myself a solid and went to the gym. I only went twice last week so I figure I should at least do that. I know it's only going to get harder to get motivated once I start school in a few weeks. But my brain could use some exercise too, I feel like I'm getting dumber. So there might have to be some trade off there.

So I'm pretty much wiped out from today, but I try to keep things in perspective. It's a good kind of exhausted. It's an accomplished kind of exhausted. And it feels good to feel that way. And I really keep reminding myself is that I really have nothing to complain about. I drive to work every morning in my nice new car, in beautiful sunny california, I make money, come home to my wonderful boyfriend and two extremely naughty birds, and then I generally piss around until it is time to go to bed.

And quite honestly, even my worst days in California are better than my best in Missouri.

Goodnight.
