Things That Make Me Happy

[annwfyn]

• The weather suddenly shifting from a weird and unnatural autumn warmth to a gorgeous crisp cold.



• My new house being warm and snug when I come in from the November wind.



• My front room being painted a mellow cream colour, and set up with the TV, and the computer up on a desk, and a pile of cushions to sit on while I type this, gazing out at my garden (my garden, all of my very own).*



• My boyfriend being affectionate very late at night, when I get to wrap myself around him before we go to sleep.



• Being able to plan out Christmas outings, and look around for potential ballet or panto trips, and know it's all happening soon.



• Knowing I've got enough money in my account to pay the mortgage.



• Watching Cirque de Soleil on DVD and remembering again how very beautiful the Dralion show is.



• Writing tat prose online and getting compliments on it. And having ideas for more.

And all those things make up for the general awfulness of yesterday. Today I shall tidy, cook, and try and sort out the house a little more, before buying kit for my college course. Anyway, how are you? Tell me what is making you happy today, or tell me what makes you sad and I'll try and cheer you up.




*This front room may actually require more plastering, and a carpenter to fix the skirting boards, but I won't think about that today.

Things that make me happy:

1) Having plans to spend time with friends over the next few days.
2) Having planned to get up early and be in work before 8 and having managed it, even though I allowed myself 30 minutes under the duvet this-mornin.
3) Having spent a good hour of last night wrapped up in a huge duvet reading assorted graphic novels.
4) Assorted source shower gels that make me feel very awake in the morning.

Happy, happy

Happy:
1) Being able to get up in the morning and see daylight on my way to work.
2) The Crisp Winter morning today and yesterday, hinting that winter is indeed here, and frost may be coming soon. I love cold crisp frosty mornings.
3) The thought that on Saturday I collect my new (to me) car and the feeling that I am indeed all grown up - I'll have a job, a car that I've funded with help from the bank.

Sad/Pi$$ed off
1a) Work I'm hating the fact I seem to be doing the job of 2 people, do not appear to be getting many opportunities to attend training courses I'm going to need to do my job.
1b) The feeling that only 10 months here I'm now assessing my job options and am looking at alternatives, and wondering how much longer I want to stay here.
2) My extreme introversion.
