GothGeek's Musings

Today has been a great day.

I woke up to an email from a dear dear old friend that I'd lost touch with several years ago...Bowman He's doing well, and we're both thrilled to finally be in touch. +Kyle's glad to hear he's still around, too...might have to get a chat reunion back together! (Bowman was one of the regulars in Jabberwocky, where +Kyle & I chatted/met.)

+Kyle had taken the truck in to get the brakes fixed on Tuesday, when the appointment was, but the guy said he couldn't get to it till today...he did get to it, and it turns out he overestimated on the quote! Only by about $10, but even so, we were thrilled. The truck is wonderful...no more screeching brakes...no more fear of the discs just giving way at any moment.

+Kyle also went up to MSC to see about enrolling in the actual classes he needs. No one had said anything about it until he called Monday to see what he needed to be doing to prepare. He's been worried all week that the classes he needs would be filled, because early enrollment has passed, and the regular enrollment period is nearly over. Amazingly, all his classes and labs had room!

To top it all off...Sherry came to me this afternoon at work and told me she was really pleased in particular with my work on the classified ads. She said I do a great job getting everything lined up, keeping things neat and straight, and that it all looked good. I told her I was relieved, because they always look crooked to me, and I'm never sure of myself. She said that even though most people don't realize it, when something is laid out well, it's easy to read and go through. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I thanked her for letting me know, and mentioned that I never thought I would have so much fun at a job like this, and Sherry said *she* was relieved to hear me say something. The last time we talked about it was shortly after I'd first started, and I was more unsure of myself than anything else.

Needless to say, I've been saying a lot of thank-you type prayers today. ^_^

Also...a huge thank you to everyone who helped make getting our brakes fixed possible. If you haven't received your grab bag(s) by now, yours is/are probably in the pile going out this weekend.

That's all for now...just got an email from my old supervisor that I should reply to. ^_^

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Leaning towards cry right now.

My computer has died once again. It seems to be the power supply this time. Who knows when we can afford to get a new one, assuming that's the only problem with the system. I do NOT need this right now. *sigh*

Anyway, if you're expecting anything from me - a custom - a rehair job - or just a pen-pal type note - you'll have to write me, as my address list is on that system. I can keep in touch on my husband's system, but it's gonna be like it was after Thanksgiving when it died the first time. I just won't be around as much, so please be patient with me. =(

I really don't feel like being thankful right now. But, I suppose I made a promise. I'm thankful that Glow finally came today. I'm thankful that I had answered all the most pertinent emails that can't be answered via yahoo groups or something. I'm thankful that I have plenty to do that's not completely reliant on the computer. I'm thankful that we're going to have a good dinner tonight. I'm thankful that we have two systems.

I'd love to go on about how much my life sucks right now, but I can't be bothered to keep coming up with things to be thankful for.

I don't deserve to have the wonderful friends I've been so blessed with. *hugs everyone* I love you guys!
