The all purpose happy feelings thread

[BeMyDeputy]

My grandmother, who was really sick and hospitalized and stuff, gets to go home today from the recovery place she's been for the past several weeks. My mom is already at Nana's place, and is going to stay with her through the first week of May.

YAY!!!!!

I had a great day with my cousin.

I do love money. Had a fantastic opening market day, with many sales and many happy customers thrilled to have the market open again. Am now home, having eaten half a pizza and drunk half a bottle of wine. Plan on vegetating for rest of day and going to bed early. Perfect Saturday.

Despite all the odds, life isn't sucking. The anniversary of what was probably the worst day of my life was yesterday, and I didn't even notice. I'd known it was coming, but when it finally happened it didn't even matter. It was just another day. There've been a lot of days without her, and one more didn't change anything. It didn't make my life any worse. I'm actually pretty happy. I have no job, I'm uncertain about the future, I'm behind in my classes, I'm about to get permanently kicked out of my bedroom and since I'm now jobless I had to call off looking for a new place to live, my computer is out of commision and has been for over a week, and I no longer have a nice big house to myself. But I'm happy. My brother's not as messy as he used to be and his girlfriend is great, one of those rare individuals who I enjoy and even rarer individuals who seems to enjoy me, and their cats are adorable, and I've actually liked living with them the last couple weeks. I don't know where my life is going, but I know I'll figure it out.
I know I'll be okay and that is a truly fantastic feeling

Today's the day. Phone conference with a major publishing company. Even if things don't work out as I hope, this could still be the first solid step towards my long-held goal of being a literary translator. In any case, it's at least a foot in the door and more contacts made!

[JujuDeRoussie]

We're gonna look at houses... We want to buy one around next year, hopefully a few months. <3

I got to spend time with my friend Mark today. It was nice considering I haven't seen him in like 2 years.

Kittens! One of my uncles kitties is giving birth! And they are adorable

I've been thinking of getting an exercise bike or something. As my wife is working more nights and working later, I could workout after I get the kids to bed. Anyway, my wife was like... maybe a trainer rather than an exercise bike so it won't take up so much space and maybe cost less? I looked at Craigslist. Then e-mailed my brother to ask his recommendation. His answer "If M (our sister) is done borrowing mine, you're welcome to use it indefinitely." I texted her: "are you done with D's bike trainer?" Her answer "remind me to send it back with you this weekend." How perfect. Ash and I happen to be going down to visit her family and watch her kids do sports this weekend. Woo hoo! A bike trainer for free!

I finally have a computer charger so I can use my laptop again

Tomorrow night is karaoke !! Yay, finally some fun !

Last night, while having dinner at my dad's, my brother's girlfriend and I made not just one but *two* allusions to Doctor Who. It was brilliant Knew I liked that girl!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I started a new job this past week that I thought was gonna be great but pay shit. Turns out it's so far a little less awesome than I expected, but I got my first paycheck yesterday and the pay is way better than I thought, enough that even after I move I'll be able to save again rather than continuing to diminish my bank account which is HUGE. Yesterday was my brother's birthday and some friends of the family took us out to dinner and I got delicious free food, and today my mom came over and made a birthday cake which was also super yummy. To top it all of, I managed to catch up on the last season of Doctor Who (which ended AMAZINGLY) in time to go to a season premier watch party tonight
Best of all, my best friend's gonna be in town for a couple days next week so I'll get to see her for the first time since January.

Life is good.

[Rachel]

I'm just feeling awesome today. I'm off the next two days, i'm getting a car soon (hopefully) and I'm just feeling relaxed right now. I wish I could spread the happy feelings to everyone!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I got to spend Tuesday and Wednesday evenings hanging out with my best friend. I hadn't seen her since January, as she goes to college in Montana, and won't see her again until July as she's spending half the summer in Costa Rica. We went out to eat, played lots of cards, and watched Castle (which I'd never seen before but she's now got me slightly hooked on) and the most recent Harry Potter movie, plus we laughed a lot like we always do and just spent time together. We talk on the phone a lot so I always feel caught up on her life, but it feels so good to actually be in the same space as her, to lounge around on the couch together and have her randomly plop a pillow in my lap and lay her head down, or glare at me in a restaurant cause I'm licking chocolate off the plate from our brownie and she thinks I should grow up. She's my best friend and one of my favorite people in the universe, and it felt really wonderful to hanging out with her again There's a certain level of comfort in a friendship that's been there nearly half your life that you just can't get anywhere else.

This will give you an all purpose happy feeling -

I got to hang out with one of my besties today who I haven't seen in a long time.

My sister had her baby!! I'm an aunt!! (for the 8th time, lolll)

Baby was due for mid-june but it was already so big that she could give birth anytime and, let's face it, since it was her 6th one, there was no way she would have lasted until june. A baby girl!!

I finished my English paper this morning, making me completely done with work for this semester. All I have left is an easy test tomorrow, then I've got a whole week off school before summer classes start. Plus, I get to watch the new Doctor Who tonight, and I'm currently watching Castle Oh, and best of all, I'm actually alive despite only getting an hour of sleep last night and 18 hours over the last 4 nights.

[Silent_X]

I still smile when I think of what my English teacher did on Thursday. Apparently some *ahem* disparaging comments were made by a few people about Tennessee Williams' work (which we are currently studying) because he was gay. She made a rather passionate speech in response, the gist of it being that work should never be judged by the sexual orientation or lifestyle of the person writing it and that if anyone produces quality art we should be proud that it even exists no matter what. Being a gay writer who goes to a rather intolerant high school, well, it pretty much made my whole darn weekend. Hooray for tolerance!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

As of yesterday, I'm done with spring semester and have one whole glorious week with only work and no school, I got to see my sisters yesterday, last night I found out I got an A in one of my classes, and today I took the little one I take care of to The Children's Museum which is soooo much fun!

[little.hesperides]

So I heard back from the publishing company......I'm doing a (paid) preliminary book translation for them. Which means I am THIS much closer to getting my name in print. Oh it feels so good!!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

My mom's on her way over with breakfast tacos, this afternoon I'm going to hang out with a friend for a couple hours, and this evening I'm going to my dad's for dinner. Should be a good day

[little.hesperides]

I got an apartment!!! I've been striking out everywhere for the last couple of weeks, leaving me incredibly dejected and less than optimistic. The market is rough out there right now. Thankfully, this landlord was pretty judicious. I mean, I have SOME income (from my freelance business), just not a nice, normal, steady income that these places like.

It's a great space, too, and affordable. It's an old apartment building from the 20's with original wood flooring and woodwork, as well as some very interesting old cabinets and closets, and original tile work and claw foot tub in the bathroom. Plus it's still in my neighborhood. I am one happy girl.
