Feeling Strangely Fine

I got paid last Friday.

My first real paycheck. It covers bills, wedding expenses and spending money with a little left over for savings. It's a good feeling, but it's not just the money, or I should say it's not just the money that's making me feel good. I feel as though a weight has been lifted. I don't worry anywhere near as much as I did, I don't find myself worrying about money, or worrying about gas, or wondering if I'm going to make it to Friday. I'm not exactly rich, but I'm doing well, I have one paycheck to spend on the Missus birthday and one to spend on Christmas. Not the whole paycheck mind you, but a portion thereof.

It's a good feeling.
