The Happiness Thread

15 more crunches than I could do last week!

 

I could do like half a push-up! LOL.

 

Those, I can't do at all (they would set off my vertigo), so you're half a one up from me! The crunches are a huge, huge improvement, because I hadn't been able to do any for a very long time because of the vertigo. So, I'm really happy about that.

 

ah, gotcha! I just have shity arm strength, LOL.

 

Also, I guess now I have a topic for my Progress Journal, so I'm happy about that!

 

Too funny!

 

I've just received my pre-ordered copy of FSF's 'I'd Die For You And Other Lost Stories', which is big for me. I've not started it yet. I can't wait for the delights ahead, but I'm also hoping they'll come back in a few years and go, "Actually, those weren't the last ones... We've found more to give to you!"

 

Well, it would seem making outlines is more helpful than just writing random scenes and hope they make sense.
I’ll attempt to not think about how I should’ve been doing this all along.

 

We've had a busted kitchen cabinet door for ... honestly, probably about three years, and tonight my roommates finally put their heads together and fixed it. I'm so proud of them I'm the only one in this house who cooks, so I'm considering it payment for the many delicious meals I've made them. Yeah, I probably coulda fixed it myself but shhh.

 

Just 13 hours left

 

Only 4.75 yrs left.

 

Someone's planing ahead?

 

Just two years left

 

If you don't hear from me within a week I might'v gotten killed. I'll try to get back at Tuesday at the latest

 

I was invited to this gathering of young people (I don't know how I'm so out of touch with my age group, but whatever it's called) and it was actually the best thing I've been to that involved people other than my two best friends and just the three of us.

They even had a resident smart alec who kept quipping, making snarky & snide remarks, and just all around saying whatever came to his mind at that moment that I've never felt more comfortable in a group

Nothing I could do or say was going to be surprising or outdo him and that is a very safe feeling when I'm always trying to watch my tongue in public.

But everyone else was great too.

Like no one could get more than a handful of sentences out before something turned into a joke and everyone was just laughing hysterically. By the end, people started laughing so hard they were crying.

I really hope I can hang out with all of them again.

It turns out I might not hate people as much as I thought~

 

As I was getting ready to read the preface of this brand newly published pre-ordered marvel last night I realised with not a little surprise that it had first been released in the UK just a year ago, in hardback. I was glad therefore when re-reading my post to find it did not mention how much of a dedicated fanatic I was of Fitzgerald's work, which would have significantly added to my embarrassment.

I don't always know how these things happen to me, but they do, sometimes.

 

This rooster right here. I'll have to get a picture of Mantequilla, but here's Erik. He's such a sweet baby. He loves to be pet and he makes the day awesome.

One of the unnamed females also trilled when I held her and my heart melted.

 

I was not killed by the random guy* I ordered online!

Tomorrow is date night
Fancy resturant and karaoke.

Sorry. Should stop braging.

 

Vem ska vifta på kattens svans om inte katten själv!

My wife is from Finland and the above is something they say there.

Who should wag the cat's tail if not the cat self.

(Maybe you need him/her/it self)

 

We recently bought two chicks. They are fun and fluffy. Also, my 6 year old son named them. So I present: Batman and Robin. (Though we're hoping they're girls, bc eggs.)

 

Feeling better. Got to have a nice chat. Compiled a playlist suggestion for somebody, and
got that sent off. Not letting the howling winds get to me (Though they are keeping me
locked up in the house).
Contemplating on having some much needed me time, and what I should like that
to entail.

 

I successfully cracked an egg one-handed for the first time and briefly felt like the coolest human being on the planet.

 

Don't stop! It's unfortunately not like riding a bicycle. I used to be able to do two at a time, one in each hand. At Christmas I tried one with my right hand after a long time of not doing it. It was a mess.

 

Oh, I can't wait 'til next time I try it and the egg just explodes with a concussive force that demolishes my entire house.

I don't even eat eggs much outside of using them to bake and such (this time it was an egg bath for fried chicken), so I don't get much practice! I don't know what possessed me to even try, but god I looked so pro doing it ... Of course, no one else was in the kitchen to witness the miracle.
