Do You Ever Have One of Those Days...
…where it seems like the entire Universe is conspiring to lift your spirits?
Today started in the worst way: with stress and sleep deprivation and an impending Chem exam and cold weather and a resultant BLAH attitude on my part. When I get in one of those funks, it is sometimes easy to forget all the awesome things I have going in my life.
Luckily, my day ended up being so littered with happy moments that I’m practically euphoric right now, even though I have failed yet again at getting to sleep before 2am.
So, in a little nod to High/Low, here are a sampling of some of today’s high points (no, I am not going to bother with the lows. Don’t harsh my mellow):
- Got a postcard from Denmark!!! Thanks Julz!
- Got reimbursed!
- Stories and Pictures, duh.
- Getting an e-mail from Lexy!!!
- Sitting at dinner with Ryann, just talking.
- The discovery of TWO ‘08 Cupps Cups. That shit’s valuable, yo.
- For the first time, I left a Chem exam and did not want to kill myself. : )
- Talking to Nene on the phone.
- Getting to Hear THUNDER ROAD, live in concert via my Mommy’s phone call.
- Catching up on Entourage, finally.
- Catching up with the kiddies. I’ve missed them a lot this week, and they were all just genuinely happy to see me this evening. That’s an awesome feeling.
- Catching up with Gary. We both have the tendency to get stressed and bottle things up… it always makes me feel SO much better just to talk to him and chill out.
So yeah, not a bad day considering I was in the WORST MOOD EVER until about 9pm.
Sometimes I just need to remind myself how good I have it, and be so thankful for all of the people that I love in my life. - Sabby
LOVE. To any Williams folk out there, this chickadee is a JA. More about ALL that on her blog, here. It is weird seeing Frosh entries in Mission. Sage F, represent.
