10 things that make me smile
The last thing I posted was almost a month ago, and it was terribly depressing. I've been thinking about whether or not I should keep an LJ account at all because I post so rarely anyway. I would keep the account so I can keep on friends, but I might just resign myself to not to posting myself. On the other hand,
gothtique posted a really great list today: 10 things that make her smile. I'm inspired. Maybe I won't post much more, but at least the last entry I poste will be positive.
1. Alexander, my cat, has followed me around the house faithfully for the last 24 hours. He slept in my hair (and only licked it a little), and learned how to sleep up against my laptop (because I won't let him share my lap with the computer), and meowed in order to find me (when he had to take a snack break and then he couldn't find me).
2. desiringsubject and imvfd came back and gave me really good hugs. I missed them so much! It is good to have them back where they belong.
3. stormdervish is back too. All my chickens have come home to roost. And we get to move her into a new house soon. Yipee.
4. I sent out requests for informational interviews with 15 people who work in industries or positions that I might like to work in. And three of them have already said, "yes." I'm proud of myself. Networking is hard, but I've made a first step.
5. I have appointments with both of my counselors tomorrow. They're going to be proud of me too. I have so much typed up for each of them!
6. The chickpea/buckwheat/almond concoction that I've been trying to make my way through (I accidentally made way too much) is really good with BBQ sauce on it. (Thanks for the suggestion, desiring.
7. I fried some maduros (is that spelled right?), mature plantains, and my housemates both said they were good.
8. I'm learning to use my calendar again, and the mistakes I've made on it are a month away, so I have time to fix 'em.
9. I had a really nice day on Saturday with dreams_of_wings and motive_nuance, doing crafts and watching silly movies, eating cinnemon buns and Chinese takeout. Oooh, does this one count? It happened two days ago. But I've been enjoying the memory.
10. HouseButch. *smile* actually *big silly grin*
That wasn't so hard! I feel better.
