- I got to see one of my sweet former students today, and she's doing wonderfully well in her university life. That always makes me feel so happy. I love it when they're out there heading toward that great thing they want for themselves, whatever that happens to be.
- There were NO SONGS regarding my "mighty-mightiness."
- I wore one of my roses today (a blue rose pin made from reclaimed wool -- something I got at Chimneyville last year). Instant boost. Roses make me happy. So I'm a cliche. Shoot me.
- I thought I lost or had "misplaced with the help of others" my favorite fountain pen today at one point. Then I found it. Finding the pen was fantastic. Confirming what I have always believed, that other people wouldn't really do that to me over a pen, was ten times better.
- Two words: puppy kisses. Love from Chewie and Roux when I got home. Dogs are grand.
- Hammock. This is perfect hammock weather. I plan to spend most of tomorrow in it if I don't go out shooting. (With the camera, of course.)
- Reading the acceptance letter for TGC more carefully and realizing that I was one of 65 teachers selected from about 300 applicants nationally.
- Massaman curry for dinner. Never fails. Even when I don't want any other food, I always want massaman. It may be the perfect food. Except for cheese....
- Shaun of the Dead came today from amazon. Tomorrow, I'm having my very own showing since I missed last week's drive-in presentation due to rain, tiredness/sickness, and Prairie Arts.
- Beowulf's Boasts were today. We all wore crowns (mine is cuter; I work hard for that plastic tiara, baby), they brandished foam sabers, and a good time was had by all.
- I'm rereading Gatsby. A craving got flung on me by a friend of mine (guilty party, you know who you are), and so ONCE AGAIN, I'm at Gatsby's watching the pretty people dance with Nick. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night. After all, tomorrow will be all about the zombies... Oh, wait. I see a literary travesty in the making....
- I'm getting comments on my blog. Even little ones where people can click anonymously at the bottom. It's nice. I like it. I won't cliffhang you until you respond (some of you will get that, and yeah, I know, I know....), but a little interaction is unexpected and, I think, good.
That's enough to balance out the scales. After yesterday's focus on the negative, I just felt like I should adjust my lens, so to speak. Don't worry. I'm sure that if doom is your thing, if you hang around here long enough, it will come rushing back.....
