1. fine; OK.
***************************************************
Everything was fine. The sun was shining. Birds sang in the trees. Squirrels ran around the ground, looking for
seeds or nuts. People walked through the
park, enjoying the bright summer's day.
Yes, everything was wonderful.
Just
because he had lost his job, didn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy the day. He had hated his job anyway. He had even started to consider looking for
something else. No, losing his job was
nothing to worry about. Although, he had
good co-workers, and his boss was fairly reasonable. But still.
He was just fine with getting fired.
He really was.
His
girlfriend may have dumped him recently, but that was fine to. He did not let it get him down in the
slightest. There was no reason to. He’d had other girlfriends before, and he never
mourned their loss for very long, and this one would be no different. She could be annoying sometimes anyway. So what if she was an amazingly beautiful,
intelligent woman. He could do
better. Somehow. He was sure of it. He was just fine with losing her, since it
meant the opportunity to find someone even better. Besides, it meant that he wouldn’t have to
buy the very expensive diamond ring he was planning on getting, which was
always good. He really was just fine
with it.
His
apartment building may have been shut down, but that was hardly his fault. The building was run down anyway. Really, it was simply unsafe. Getting kicked out by the city might have
been the best thing for everyone. Just
because it was the cheapest place he could get did not make any difference at
all. He was now homeless and unable to
get a new place to live due to not having a job, but he had always wanted to go
camping anyway. That was all fine with
him.
The car
crash hadn’t gotten his spirits down the day it happened, and it wasn’t going
to bother him now. His car was old
anyway. It had been costing him more to
keep it running than it had been to simply get a new one. Just because it was one of the most fuel efficient
cars around meant nothing. Once he found
a new job, he could get a hybrid, which was just as good, really. And the accident itself was no problem
either. It wasn’t like it was his fault
or anything. Well, the insurance company—and
court—said it was, but he knew it wasn’t, and that was what mattered. No, he would not let that ruin his perfect
day.
Just
because he had a few problems to deal with would not bother him. He would deal with each problem and everything
would be good. He would find a new
job. Get a new place to live. Buy a new car. Maybe even find a new girlfriend. Until then, the sky was bright and warm, the
birds were singing, and life was happening all around him.
And
everything was just fine.
