I Can't Do This

On Monday morning as Claire was eating breakfast, she received word that she had been hired by one of the pharmacies she had a second interview with last week. She would be working the same shift she had before with days off on Sunday and Monday and they wanted her to start as soon as she could get her paperwork together. 

She was so excited that she jumped up and pumped her fist in the air. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

"What is it?" Alex asked in confusion. 

"I got a job! And this pharmacy is closer to my house than the last one so I won't have to wake up quite as early and pays a dollar more per hour. This is so great! We have to do something to celebrate. I'm in a Christmassy mood today; once we put up the decorations we can go out and do something fun."

He grinned at her as he went in for a quick congratulatory hug. "That IS so great. Way to go, Claire!"
