Getting Better

The sun shone brighter today. I knew I had to at least return an application with further info so I rested in bed til a bit later. My back still hurts. I got to work on the application early on and, when taking a break, received a phone call. I was otherwise engaged and missed the call. I checked my voicemail to discover that it was about a job I'd applied for last week.
I was glad I missed the call because it meant I could look up which job it was. I returned the call and spoke to the lady from recruitment. The job sounds OK and is fairly local. I don't know if it would be quite challenging enough but working in the marketing department of a company would provide a new avenue and would in some way be related to my degree. And the other job is for much more money.

I then engaged in a few email exchanges with friends. When I took a walk out for an hour I felt much better than I had done yesterday and even treated myself to a book and DVD.
This new found optimism lead me to strapping my leg up and risking my troublesome hamstring. I didn't exactly do my run in record time but at least I did it and it eased the pain in my back.
