Surely something good happened to you today

Happy belated birthday!

For me, another distraction miraculously appeared in my head. I really need to get on with the projects I'm supposed to be doing right now, but I did come up with what I think is an interesting (non-Trek) starfighter design.
 
^thanks.

I finished my shopping for the business trip. I have two new outfits that should be sufficient; I now have two weeks with nothing to do. Good: I have lots of free time. Bad: I won't be getting a paycheck.
 
When I was seven, alphabeti spaghetti was about as adventurous as I got with food. But I turn my back on my son for two minutes on the market and he’s taking advice from the fish monger on how best to prepare and cook an octopus.

I’m putting off cooking octopus, but so happy the boy doesn’t have my aversions to either food or asking strangers questions.
 
Okay, now I may be cheating, but a person should use the tools available to them, right?

Anyway, related to a project I'm working on, I've just remembered that there aren't just bitmap line drawings available, but actual vector CAD files.

Yeah, it may feel like I'm cheating, but I'm also up against a deadline. There's plenty of manual work to do even with those files, so I'm still putting in my time...
 
Found a used copy of Tales of Zestiria. It was nice to find one for a good price (It was going for $16.99 used)! Playstation had it for $49.99 for so long. Made my day :).

Finally got up to 400 Magikarp candies in Pokemon Go! Took me around a year to do so since my area doesn't spawn Magikarp that often. So I've been catching whatever I can find, especially during events that up their spawning rates.

vacation =)
After 12 days of busman's holiday at my parents (heavy garden work - chainsaw stuff, mostly) I'm finally back at my own place for well deserved 5 days of real holidays. Well, besides laundry, ironing, tidying up, sewing a pillowcase for my sister, cracking 3 buckets of walnuts - who am I kidding? - 5 more days of busman's holidays but at least I'll work for myself, mostly :)
 
I failed to mention it on the day, but this last weekend I mowed my mom's yard. It's a pretty big yard, but she has a riding mower. I have a hard time with her mower in that it tends to leave lots and lots of rows of clippings in its wake, so I've been trying to go as slow as possible to minimize that, but to no avail.

This last time I went fast...very fast in comparison. Still left rows of clippings, but I went fast enough that I had time enough with daylight to spare to go back like a mad person and go over those rows of clippings and get rid of them.

Felt good.

Not only that but on my way home the moon was HUGE in the sky ahead of me. That left me with a happy feeling.
 
Got an ICEE today and did some walking with my Poke eggs in Pokemon Go. Also enjoyed the first episode of the new Murphy Brown episodes. :)
