30 Days of Happiness, Days 18 & 19
I'm appreciating the novelty of the cold weather. It never gets into the teens and twenties in Austin. I'm also glad it's only going to be like this for a few more days. And that the remaining available winter days are dwindling.
I'm happy I had a very warm, cozy and happy place to sleep last night, and that I'll have that again tonight. I'd rather not attempt to sleep in my room at the Palace in this weather. It's finally warmed up to all of 42* in my bedroom now. Yeah, I'm happy for places with central heating. /grin/
-- Sleeping in yesterday. And cuddles. Sleepy, lazy cuddles.
-- Shopping! I never go shopping, but I had a gift card my folks sent me, so I spent an odd number of hours browsing Target while catching up with Gabriel, who'd just gotten back into town. The catch-up time was so, so nice and much needed for both of us, I think. He and I haven't had the chance to reconnect that well in months, probably. Cheers to a stronger friendship!
-- Sushi. Delicious, delicious sushi.
-- Bubbles!
-- I was happy to see Zac at Izzi's birthday Wednesday night. Actually, I was happy to see a lot of people at Izzi's birthday, but I was feeling a little socially out of sorts. And I was tired. So I didn't catch up with many people. But it was really nice to chat with Zac. I has the <3 for him.
-- I'm happy to hear stories about San Francisco and New Years. And I'm secretly plotting and scheming so I can maybemaybemaybe spend NYE with my Yes Pleasers next year. Man, I miss those cats.
-- I didn't get mad or disappointed yesterday when a friend missed lunch plans. I understood. And I felt better for not getting all butt hurt about something silly. Personal growth = less butt hurt. FTW!
-- Talking. Talking. Talking. And I'm trying to learn to listen better. I think I've forgotten how.
-- The relaxing after the talking talking talking. And that it seemed like he felt better. I like it when he feels better.
-- All the people who talk to me and each other on my Facebook page. I feel like it's a little public conversation forum sometimes. Or like I'm hosting some random chatty party on the interwebs and you're all keeping me company. It's cute. Smile-making.
