Three things for 4/30

Friday, April 30th, 2010

1. Getting a cpap machine, and looking forward to a restful sleep for the first time in years.

2. With Joe’s help, I came up with a solution to an issue that has been bogging down my job. This will make my Monday reports go much more quickly and smoothly.

3. My family is very good to me.

Three things for 4/28

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

1. Frosty mugs. You know those ones you can put in the freezer, and then they keep your drink cold? I like drinking my Dew so cold it almost burns. If you pour a cold dew (from the fridge) into one of those things, it can make it so cold you get crystals in your drink. This makes me happy.

2. I had a fangirl! moment today, when a favorite porn author posted a story based on an idea I gave him. That really made my day.

3. I have the best boss. They are changing a few things at work, which could make my week incredibly more busy/stressful and she is supportive of my plans to keep it to a dull roar.

(Also, I should be getting my cpap machine later this week. I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to a good night’s rest!)

Three things for 4/24

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

1. The kittens were born today. So far it appears we have two calico colored (like the mom), a solid black, a solid orange, and a white with a black head and a black spot on its back.

2. Playing the new Super Mario Brothers Wii co-op game with Joe.

3. Discovering a delicious new bakery in the Short North. (Piece of Cake)

Three things for 4/23

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

1. “What the Scotsman wore beneath his kilt.”

2. JoeTortuga: “You are in your safe space. Everything is calm, and you are equipped. There is a door, open it. It’s a10×10 room with 100 orcs.”

3. Today is Friday.

Three things for 4/22

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

1. Peanut Butter Cup Perfection ice cream.

2. Showing my mother around my office, and how everyone spoke about me. Learned that my first job there was always meant to be temporary but they wanted to be sure they got me before another company did. The timing worked out, and I lucked into the position I am in today. I really do love my job.

3. Expanding and utilizing my computer skills. Showing off those skills :)

Three things 4/19 – 4/21

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

I know I am seriously delinquent with these posts, but I have a good reason.  Monday night, I had a sleep study done.  I had planned on doing my three things from the waiting room, but the moment I got there they were ready for me.  Overnight, I didn’t sleep well, so when I got home Tuesday night I crashed until David woke me for dinner, and then I crashed again. 

I don’t really have an excuse for last night, other than Joe.

So, what has made me happy these last three days?

1.  Monday: No waiting in the waiting room at the sleep lab.

2. Monday: Finding out there really is something wrong with me, and it’s not just in my head.

3. Monday: Watching Bones with David.  We don’t spend much time together so it was really a treat.

4. Tuesday: Saw Yentl for the first time.  This surprises me, honestly, because I love musicals, love Barbra Streisand, love movies about gender issues.  One of my favorite musicals is Victor/Victoria!  So, I’m not sure how I missed this before, but I saw it Tuesday and it was a treat.  That, and Mandy Patinkin!  heh.

5. Tuesday: David was very sweet all day, and took care of me.  Again, he’s not normally like this, so it was nice to be spoilled by him for once.

6. Tuesday: It was a really lovely day outside.  Ohio has a short Spring and Fall – I don’t care what the months say, by the weather they are very short.  Tuesday was a lovely Spring day in Ohio.

7. Wednesday: Even though I started the day behind in my work, and feeling groggy and unmotivated, I got everything I needed done.  Occasionally, I get into this headspace where I’m not really thinking about anything but work, and so I complete my reports really fast.  Yesterday was one of those days.

8. Wednesday: Successful DDO dungeon run with Joe, even though we ran into Fire elementals we weren’t expecting.  Unfortunately, I play a rogue and so I hate elementals.  I really don’t do much damage to them.

9. Wednesday: Inspired a favorite author that I’ve been following for awhile, so I’m really looking forward to the story he’ll write from that.
