Surely something good happened to you today

[Sibyl]

You don't happen to have time to fix my sewing machine, I presume? It got stuck yesterday - the sewing head is completely blocked, as if it was welded into place. I suspect a problem with either the upright arm shaft or the bed shafts which means I have to dismantle the whole thing.
Good thing: it got stuck literally at the last 3 feet of a quilt - I can easily finish it by hand.

Even if I did the disassembly and assembly for free, 'twould be a rather expensive repair bill, what with the airline tickets, 'n' all.

I hope you are able to get it figured out.

My parking time ran out but I didn't get a ticket.

(When I started my car I could see the ticket woman in my rearview mirror, a couple of minutes more and I'd have been poorer of a few Euros...)

the janitor has fixed the air vent in my lab. No more screeching and whining sounds. The silence is utter bliss =)

I had a three hour snooze on the sofa this morning,

Am sat at the airport to go home for a few days.

Finally came up with a plan on how I'll model something. One part was kind of eluding me.

Bonus: in staring at reference images, I noticed another detail in the reference, itself, that had also been eluding me.

Good, good, good.

YAY! My sewing machine is fixed. It took me 1 hour to get the *4#^&ß casing open and 1 min to fix the jammed arm shaft.
The only prob is that after the reassembly 1 screw is left and I can't for the world remember where it belonged. It doesn't fix any vital parts, so I decided to count it as a nuissance and not as a problem.

There’s always a bit left over when you do diy.

I want to adopt the clinic I went to, especially the NP I saw today, as my own.

She was so nice and even re-prescribed a medication I haven't been on for several years now because my regular doctor didn't feel comfortable about it.

I am watching "Brother".

My daughter invited me to lunch with her today. It was really nice to have time alone with her.

I put together a Sunday brunch with some friends.


It's going to be great!

My littlest brought his polished dish to me in the kitchen and all wide eyed said ‘yummy’, as he handed it over.

Earlier this week I received a call from out of the blue from an old neighbor of mine who our families have been friends since we went to kindergarten. I hadn't seen him since my father's funeral four years ago. He asked me if I still collected comics and if I was interested in selling them. I said that I stopped collecting about 10 years ago, but I had them in storage all bagged and boxed. He explained that he had a friend who was willing to buy them from me for one lump sum, them he would turn around and sell them on the internet and at comic-cons. I said that we could meet today at my storage locker to look them over. So we met this afternoon and he offered me a nice four figure amount for the entire collection and a small amount off of whatever he makes when he sells them. While I'm sorry to see them go, to be perfectly honest, I hadn't thought about them or been to the storage locker in months and they were just taking up space every time I moved; so they're off to a good home and I made a nice tidy sum of money.

I had two bags of crisps while watching The good, The bad and The ugly.

Got done shoveling my driveway. It's going to be very cold tomorrow, so I decided to do my best and try to get it completed. Better to do it now then to have to be out in the bitter cold tomorrow.

I played my new board game today and went on a winter walk with my handsome bearded man-beast. Hooray!!

 

[Sibyl]

I saw Orion.

It generally lifts my mood, at least temporarily, when I see Orion.

I wish it was viewable in the Summer, too, but I'm perfectly happy that Winter is when I see it.
