Surely something good happened to you today

[Sibyl]

I guess I need to find a happy to keep me sane (relative, I know).

I slept in a bed on Friday and Saturday nights for the first time in over a year. Wow, was that nice! I didn't wake up in the middle of the night, but I did still wake up a little earlier both mornings than I wanted to.

^ I dream of sleeping in a bed, a proper bed, not a sofa bed.

Today’s good stuff. The kids got to school early. I’ve been getting mithered by principle lately.

YAY!!! My unfriendly colleague has unexpectedly taken this week off. 1 whole week without getting bitched at, without a sour face and without her awfully obtrusive perfume.

Cleaning and gardening? You deserve ALL the toffees!

LOL thanks But I rather stick with one (pardon the pun) (and the rhyme) - it'll be at least 6 months till I get to GB the next time and until then there might easily be 2 other occasions that warrant a toffee

Seems like she's offensive to all of your senses.

I got out of bed and snapped out of my thoughts and actually got some homework for college done. Also slept 5 hours straight, that's a new record for me

I used the portable scanner I bought several years ago for the first time today.

Now, if I can only find a picture of Obi so I can use it a second time.

Got more yard work done yesterday!

A friend is having a better day.

I'm looking forward to socializing IRL this weekend. Very odd thing for me to do.

Still a foggy mess in most of my head, but I've gained some clarity on one issue.

I've had and have the entire day free. No appointments for me or my mom. No errands to run. Can be a double-edged sword, though.

I had an incredibly rich chocolate moose, first one in ages. I had the whole day to myself and I did nothing, except the house work, and the cooking. I also bought wine, and some dairy free chocolate desserts for the kids.

I got to watch probably the dumbest attempt at feeding ducks I've ever seen. Someone was so lazy, they threw a whole small loaf at them, only for one to grab it in it's beak and swim off with it. I don't know what was more priceless, the surprise, or anger when they saw that, or them yelling at a duck in a crowded town center.

^that is hilarious!

Those must be wonderful! Hope you have enough happy occasions coming up!

Well.....nothing bad happened, so I guess that counts.

 

[Sibyl]

One big step forward.

 

[Sibyl]

...And in other news, I dropped something when I was driving, reached down to pick it up and felt something odd in front of my driver's seat. It was the boot I somehow lost in my tiny, tiny car.

Long story...

Love those boots!

I bought a new pressure washer and it works like a charm! It delivers more pressure, is more precise and has more functionalities than my old one that no longer worked anyway.

I managed to get a load of clothes to The laundrette. That doesn’t fix the washing machine though.

 

[Sibyl]

A few people have said some things that have helped me feel much, much better about myself and about life, in general.

I haven't accomplished jack sh*t today, but I feel like today has been a healing day.

 

[Merry Hissmas]

Had a nice fish sandwich today and a large Dr. Pepper . Also got some walking done.

 

[Awesome Possum]

I bought a car, it’s a 2005 Crown Victoria. Nothing fancy but it drives well.

YAY! I'm finished with repairing my old bicycle. New internal gear hub, new cables and lamps, a few minor repairs. Now I just need the mechanic to shorten the bowden cable tomorrow (that's a bit too tricky for me as it's a matter of 0.5 mm) Btw who constructs gearshifts of precisely 120.5 mm ?? Why not a smooth 120.0 mm ?

Now I just need to find someone who buys my new bicycle. It's not bad at all, only too heavy for me and the frame is a bit too high which makes it difficult for not-so-young people like me to get on and off. Also, after more than 50 years with a coaster break I find it difficult to have 2 hand breaks. That's why I repaired my old one.
