Because I need it.

[saxikath]

So I slept too late to get one bus, the next one came early so I missed it, I ate too much junk food, I'm working very unproductively, and I've just generally been out of sorts all day, so I could use some cheering up. Thus, a meme from kightp.

Tell me something good that happened to you today.

It can be anything: big or small, huge impact or hardly any. Share
something positive.

And (as always, if you wish to) pass the meme on.

I got paid. :)

I saw my dog today, petted her, and laughed when I discovered she had gotten into something she wasn't supposed to be getting into.

I got my bi-monthly haircut. Now I'm even more stylish! :) (My haircut is probably significantly hipper than I am.)

I fed birds this morning.

I'm wearing a robin's-egg-blue shirt and blue-red-yellow-purple plaid tie that phragmites gave me, that look great together and that I really like. And a lot of people have said they like them too.

I did a lot of little chores that may pay off. A program is coming closer to working. I got to cheer up my semicuz.

Let me get back to you. I'm about to go to Mikado rehearsal, where I fully expect the things that happen to be better than anything else that has happened today. :)

To update: The Three Little Maids have a gorgeous vocal blend. Definitely the nicest thing that happened all day yesterday. Running a close second is the fact that we might've found a new Bursar, finally.

I commanded a horse with nothing but my body language. Top that! :)

(More in my own journal, later.)

Biking to Riverside Station has been easier for me this week than it's ever been before.

I checked in for my flight, which means I go home tomorrow.

Also, I put an order in for a custom-made shirt.

I found out I was wrong about a date. I thought I had to go to Atlanta when foggyb will be hosting a bash to celebrate his new puzzle extravanza. But I'll get to attend! And see tmcay!

Woo!

i ate some homemade french toast (with french bread, custardy and good!), took the baby for a walk and bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a local florist who i'd been afraid was going out of business but wasn't, have all the windows on the upper floor open because it's sunny and cool and NOT humid for once, and read a wonderfully kind and encouraging comment in my LJ (someone who is a published novelist, newspaper editor and magazine publisher praised my meager writing skills on a day when i felt like all i was good for was washing diapers and sweeping floors, and not doing a particularly good job at that).

I managed not to burn the coffee pot at work. ;)

It's my day off, and I'll continue to have Wednesdays off for the next few months.

I was called out today by my wife on an errand to drive up to Vancouver, WA (about 20 minutes) to this really cool eatery and get smoothies for her coworkers. (Normally I wouldn't, but since I had the free time, and many of them are staying today until midnight...) I don't normally get to go there, since it's so far away. I managed to snag a really good orange/banana smoothie and a cordon blue wrap for me, and carefully loaded my car with about 8 more smoothies.

Fortunately, there were no sharp turns in roads (to knock over the drinks), and though I was surrounded by backed-up traffic, every lane I picked was the fastest one. So I got back home just fine.

Hey! You live in my hometown!
Give my regards to the Hawthorne Bridge.

Finished a problem set a day early.

Though the rash is still there, I finished the course of antiviral drugs and seem to be on the way to recovery. I was singing and dancing along with music ("Yeah!"). I may treat myself to Chinese food tonight.

I spent a while with a very cute baby who was very diligently practicing standing up and sitting down and standing up and sitting down and... (Daughter of vorpalbunny)

The fact that I consider this a good thing is new, and speaks volumes of either said baby, or me.

I was late to work, and ran up the stairs at the Delancey Street station to change trains (the 3rd and last of the morning) just in time to see a train pull out, and it was the J train, and not the M train that I needed today.

My credit union admitted that the $300 wire transfer from my savings account to a total stranger was their mistake, and credited the money back to me.

I figured out how to connect a projector to my work laptop. And, I managed to handle typing for an hour and a half straight without a break. And, I learned some sign language.

I honest-to-God finished everything I intend to do at my old job. (*And* convinced my boss to let me hang onto my MIT ID a little longer.) I am now, really, done. -- Until Monday. ;-)

[lunchboy.livejournal.com]

I bought a melodica!

I've had an interview and have been just about hired to do some independent contractor science outreach work at some local elementary schools. It may only be a few hours a week, but it'll still be more work than I've had in two months.

Technically it happened to me yesterday, but I saw Sweeney and it rocked.
