The Happiness Thread

She hates the camera, so this was the best she'd allow before hiding behind the bed. I don't have any "before" images of the area, but the mass had grown to the point where it looked like she had a goat's udder. It was disturbing to see. All she has left is that bit of redness where the skin had stretched and the scar that's not really visible in this image.




This is was shortly after the surgery, to give an idea of how large.

Spoiler: Not for the squeamish

 

It'll be a huge relief to her to be rid of it, I'm sure. Is it likely to regrow, do you know?

 

The vet said no. The surgery was the canine version of a complete double mastectomy, so the problematic tissue is completely gone. It was only the one side that had become cystic, but the vet removed everything just in case.

 

Her mother was a Shih Tzu lady of impeccable provenance. She could have had a duke or a prince, but she fell madly for a rakish rapscallion of the most common ilk. Tale as old as time.

 

Excellent.

 

Hearing a boy on the bus say "Thank you Daddy. I love you." Father responds with "I love you too."

This same boy then goes on to say about how a good education is important to enable you to get a good job, so you can pay bills and have a nice house.

 

One month to Julafton today.

I've never been as excited for Christmas in all my life, I think. I've looked forward to it since this spring when me and Lost decided to celebrate it together and even more since September when I knew I wouldn't see him until December. Well, not it's almost December!

Can't wait for the 20:th December to come along.
Can't wait for date night on the 21:th, candy making on the 22:th, uppesittarkväll the 23:rd and sharing the experience of a proper Swedish Christmas with Lost the 24:th. After that we've got over a week together and I can't think of anything better

 

You could also shine your boots, and put them at the end of the hallway
for St. Nicholaos day and see how much candy and switches you get
for being nice/naughty.

 

This was a good perk for Monday morning.

 

I had a Darth Vader lego keyring at one point. Then he lost a leg, ironically enough.

 

I'm getting back into my French again, and have a four day streak so far. Little achievements.

 

Félicitations! Bon courage!

Oops. Turns out that adjective didn't agree. Maybe I need to get back into my French too. I also realise that broke the rule about all posts being in English.

 

When I was a kid, to practice french we used to sing the chef's song from The Little Mermaid, but instead of 'les poisson, we'd sing 'les teton' just to hear our babysitter scream.

 

I no longer smell like cat pee! (see my previous posts in the Not Happy Thread to understand why this is a thing lol)

 

I'm very proud.

 

Don't fool yourself hon, the fox pee only masks the other smells, it doesn't take them away

Spoiler

Yes, I saw the other posts, and congrats, that stuff is horribly hard to get out.

 

awww man... maybe this should be in the not happy thread, but im' to much in a good mood to put it there.

I have gotten like no writing done the last few days because I am horribly addicted to fallout 76, fuck what the negative reviews and haters say, I have enjoyed exploring, the graphics are beautiful, the mechanics are an upgrade from fallout 4 which was a leap from fallout 3 as it were.

It does also help that I I am seperating Fallout Original from Fallout Bethesda.
I.E. Fallout 1, 2, tactics and New Vegas are Original with FAllout 3, 4 and 76 being Beth.

But, Bethedsa I feel did a great job with the environment, the ambiances, the game can get a bit boring at times... but that's what killing Super Mutants is for. I haven't delved to deep into the map, as I like to take things very slowly. . But, yeah, fuck the negative reviews and band Wagoner Youtubers. IN the end of the day it's ME (My Enjoyment) that matters most, to me.

Edit: I will admit however, there is a sense that you aren't really accomplishing anything, and oddly enough that gets to me even. . Like you'll do a mission, but since it's online, alot of them reset, I literally did a mission to clear a town, beat it, got the reward, my game crashed. and when I came back the mission was there again, on the plus side, double rewards. . And to a degree I do miss NPCs, but very minor, and there is a reason for no NPCs in this one.

I do enjoy the fact I can craft my own armor, weapons, ammo etc. (Just gotta find the plans first). I do enjoy the survival aspects, though it's survival light, which is fine by me. HOwever, there is also desieses , and it is recommend that you boil your water and cook your meat before eating. . What a concept. Also, Tea is your friend, and soups, soups as well.

I already built a little shitty platform... but hopefully I will find a better spot.

 

Aaaah! It's torture! They're about to go through the portal! Must... continue... story... *faints*

 

Don't worry SG, I'll get there! The book will be finished, and hopefully you'll enjoy the climax

 

*babbling incoherently* ... Ghoullll...

 

My books will be delivered today! It's the first anything I've bought for myself that wasn't a basic necessity since the hurricane last year.

 

After 15 months on Supplementary Welfare Allowance...I have finally been granted Disability Allowance! I came home today to find a letter from the Social Welfare Appeals Office. Considering I had the Oral Appeal Hearing only 17 days ago, and they said I'd hear back in 4-6 weeks, I'm pretty fucking happy!

 

That sounds like fun, I am happy you don't feel sick no more.
