Right now I'm feeling bleak, and the fact that tomorrow is booked solid with a) a kindergarten party (in the morning) and b) a school party (in the afternoon) and c) a bonfire (in the evening) doesn't help. I want to sit down, in the morning, and just write until the evening, with only brief interruptions for food. Just so I can push the bad stuff away for a day. Alas, it's not to be.
But yeah, you're right. Thinking about the new job does help a lot. It keeps my mood from turning entirely black.
