The Happiness Thread

One month to the day of the adventures of the scalp cyst, and I am happy to report that it is still flat, odourless and painless. All is well in that particular patch.
I have concluded the pivotal moments must have been when the pain was so intense during the excavation that I had to hold onto the sink for fear of passing out. I presume those were the cores enabling the cyst to refill each time being forced out of their lodgements.

 

Delicious!

 

Found a 24/7 stream of all MXC episodes.

 

I know I just got home from England - but guess who's comming to Sweden in two and a half week?



Truth is it breaks my heart every time we have to leave each other because we usually don't know when we'll see each other again. We got lucky this time because Lost had a week of vacation he needed to use up. LDR are not for emotional people like me. I'd strongly advice against them!

 

It's my buds 120th day clean. Man, that bastard, I'm so proud of him. He's currently addicted to being a great dad for his son, which should last him a lifetime.

We're going to celebrate later on with the other dudes. Celebration will include pizza and a kickass movie (Kingsman 2).

 

Your near-spit take count just improved. +1.

That is fantastic! Kudos to him.

One day at a time, one step at a time. Sending him good vibes.

 

It was going to be a surprise!

 

I haz lots o' food, and coffee.
I iz a happy Cave Troll.

 

And I am happy to announce that you look nothing like that^.

 

Too many clothes?

 

Today is the last day my kid is grounded from Nintendo! It's been driving me bats. We just beat Bowser in Odyssey and opened up the Mushroom Kingdom and the Dark Side of the Moon, and he goes and gets himself grounded from electronics at his mom's house, so of course no Nintendo at Dad's house either. (We have to be consistent. Meh, meh meh.) It's been a long three weeks!

 

Maple Treeway!

 

Tom Jones-You Can Leave Your Hat On :



I actually woke up with this song in my head, so...

 

1. Have I'm mentioned I'm going home? I'm finally going hoooooooooooooooooooooome!!!!!!!!

2: Happiness is when you text your friends you haven't seen in a year (other than FaceTime) to tell them you're coming home the next day and they text back:

"We miss you! Do you want me to come get you at the airport?" (and they mean it.)

Yes! Yes! Come get me! Yes!

 

Congratulations! Where generally in this multiverse is home?

 

Less than 300 days until I see My Amazing Man* again!

This is equal part happy and feeling kinda surreal.

The job hunting is proving very successful on my first week. I've had a new agent calling me every day since Tuesday. I have an informal meeting and an interview next Tuesday, and it's the polar opposite of when I quit the hardware store.

 

I had a very interesting dream last night, which has the potential to become a top-notch Science Fiction story. Premise, beginning, characters, ending, cruel twist, it's all served to me on a silver platter. The middle part is a bit foggy, but there's so much dramatic potential inherent in the very idea. This one has published written all over it, if only I can pull off the execution. So there goes my weekend, I guess. Couldn't possibly be happier!

 

Thank you! Los Angeles.

 

Small but significant joy. The sun is out, and it is 3C. The weather report tells me it should be climbing into the tens in a couple of weeks. BRING IT ON.

 

After looking into it, I have decided to participate in Darkness Into Light. Apparently, you can just pay the entry fee and walk it, or you can enter and fundraise as well. I figured as I'm walking it anyway, why not try and gain additional funds for the cause at the same time.
They have downloadable information posters to publicise your participation, as well as a section on their site to set up a donation page. This all makes me very happy, as it's been a long time since I did anything for charity. This also means a lot to me because of the cause too-suicide prevention.

 

The wild parrots flew over this morning, and about ten minutes ago there was a familiar meow at my door. My Visitin’ Kitteh is here!!!

I’ve now been thoroughly welcomed home.
