Topic: Life is improving a bit too quickly.

So less than 2 months into my new job, I'm already getting promoted. I'm making $1500/month for a part time job, like (at the most) 20 hours/week. Been hanging out with a few girls that are way out of my league, and they're all totally into me, plus I've picked up a few remodeling jobs on the side that I'm actually in charge of, and my clients absolutely love me, and they think I'm undercharging them. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? 3 months ago I was a total fucking wreck, and all of a sudden it's just too easy. Now maybe it's just the way things happen, with everything gravitating towards equilibrium, but I honestly don't believe that I deserve what's happened to me in the past few months. Considering over the past year I've been through hell, I'm not sure I deserve such good fortune. I'm really afraid that I'll get complacent about it all and fuck it up.

Pic related -- I took it yesterday while out on a job.

Good for you. If your clients think you are undercharging them, you probably are. They're gonna talk you up to their friends though.

Yeah, well I finally came out of a bad funk about 2 months ago, and have been charging $15/hr for my remodeling, with the condition that I set my own hours. I think it's about time to bump that up to $20/hr.

Nah, you wouldn't say that if you knew me IRL.

But yeah, them gals aren't out of my league, but I've found that I score the best ones by being a bit modest ;-)

You'll make it, as it is written in the books of yore. You're just fulfilling your destiny.

To each his own, bud.

Remember, I'm a dirty hippie, and dirty hippie girls like modest guys.

Yeah, meeting up with my wholesale molly connect in ABQ a week before I head up to the Phish festival. Already bought my tickets and camping pass, so everything else is purely riotous living :D

I was once healed by a shaman while phish was playing.

I was burned with opium, and for a few seconds after he "healed" me, I really thought he had. It looked healed (I was on shrooms). My face showed utter shock. He nodded and walked away.

Yeah, haven't been able to get a hold of him lately either. I can get my mescaline here in the states, tho.

San Pedro cacti are cheap

All the luck I've been wishing upon you has finally begun to take root.
I hope things get even better.
