The Happy Post

I took (well with help) three truckloads of crap to the Goodwill (including Steve's fugly sectional that I have always hated). My response to clearing out junk? Go shopping and buy more. LOL.

 

That's good, Mina, that you gave to the good will. I know a few people who really wouldn't have much if it weren't for good people like you, who donate to their cause.

 

Is that...food? It looks good.

Nice, Mina! Have fun shopping for more.

Joel's mom keeps telling us that when we move, we can have the furniture downstairs...but I dunno, man. I'd kind of like to buy my own.

 

I got my first six weeks grade card back... I knew how I did three weeks ago, when the period ended, but it's nice to see it on official paper.
Out of all the six weeks grade cards I've received from my high school career (19 so far; when I graduate, it will be 24 --six, six-week grade reports per year of four years), this has been my highest. I earned a 3.9. It sounds better than it is... a few of my classes were weighted, and I could have potentially earned a 4.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Still. It's not a bad number, that.
(I want to get higher than a 4.0 next time though! I was so close! )

 

I love Battenburg!!! Dan told me about them (he loves them) and we managed to find a place here that sells them. I tried them and got addicted LOL! Very nice cake that is for sure. They are made of sponge cake, stuck together with jam, wrapped in almond icing. Very lovely cake and rather sweet.

 

I am happy because I love wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men.

 

I am laughing hysterically at my son, who plays guitar and writes comic lyrics for his music. Okay...there is no way I can stay in a sad mood with him playing and singing.

 

Oh gods, they do indeed rule.

 

I'm happy because I've been productive today. Homework and my laundry are done. YAY.

 

Okay...I am totally happy because the last family member...has wished me well, cried with me over my job loss, and has just gone out the door. I mean, I couldn't take it much longer, they mean well...but I am much more happy now. And...I can go to bed and sleep.

 

I am happy because I have finally been able to get an ultrasound appointment.

Yesterday I tried to get one and they almost laughed in my face. Today I rang 5 places here in the South West and couldn't get one till the end of the month, even though it is really urgent I was to have an ultrasound. I was really annoyed and rang the Dr surgery and told the receptionist what was going on. So I then spoke to my Dr and he went there and made me the appointment himself. hehehe! While at times my doctor really upsets me, I'm glad he is my doctor as he makes sure he gets what he wants.

 

I just sent out facebook invites for my gaming thing.

It's definitely happening now, and I'm getting excited!

 

I read a piece out for class today (the creative writing part of my degree)

and I got some fantastic feedback from my tutor. Not only did he enjoy it, but he said that he'd only seen one other student that had any similarity to my 'Quality standard' of work I was BEAMING. He said alot of good things about my characterisation etc that I can barely recall now because at the time I was in too much of a happy mode.

I can't believe my first ever assignment went so well. And it was just 500 words. He said that I was showing, the rest were telling. (!)

I'm so happy

 

I have a renewed faith in people and common courtesy. After explaining my job situation to one of my monthly bill representatives, he was so nice, he lowered my payments in half and gave me an extension if I needed it. There really are good people who care and want to help.

 

That is something I have found Chimmy. Sometimes you have to get knocked down to see how many kind people are there to help you up.

 

That's wonderful, Chimmy.

Even though we all know selfish and cruel people, all in all people are generally pretty cool.

 

That is great to hear Chimmy. I have been in that situation before, but over here they never mind you paying off your bills, as long as you make regular payments. I know it must be a huge weight off your shoulders.

I am happy because yesterday I realised I knew a woman who had the same complication with the end of her pregnancy as I am now having with mine. Difference being it was earlier with her and a little worse and her baby was brought on 8 weeks early. So I'm not so stressed over it all now. I will however be glad to have the ultrasound next week to make sure bub is alright and find out what my doctors plan is...

 

You guys are cool!!!! I am happy to have you.

 

My daddy's coming!

 

I am SO jealous of you, Rei. My dad won't be home til the 22nd.

 

He's only going to be in Kingston for the day, though. But one day is better than nothing. And I'll be able to get a ride to the police station to get my police check (to work in a school).

 

I agree, one day is far better than nothing. I hope that you enjoy having your day around for the day.

 

I'm just happy.

 

Seeing that Lydia is just happy, makes me happy. Wait...I am happy anyway. LOL!!

This is a good day, in spite of my recent job loss, in spite of my family struggles, hell, I am pretty much a happy Chimmy today.
