Happy Things - Day 24

Jan 10, 2009 01:04


Things that made me happy today:

Day 1: (12/17) My doctor, himself, actually called me today! Not a cranky menopausal nurse, not a strung out med student, but the doctor HIMSELF. He wanted to know what was happening with my xray, cause he never got the papers. (not suprised) Luckily, I've had to become a record-keeping master over the years, and have the films at home. He (himself again!) is gonna call & put the squeeze on the radiologist to send him the report. Also, my buttered bagel with ham tasted pretty good this morning & I wanted another. Oh and Sharon was impressed by my mad research skills & secret knowledge of chemical hazards & occupational safety. I knew all that stupid manual reading & OSHA training crap would come in handy someday.

Day 2: (12/18) Oh hell, I don't know. Day 2 was a doosie. But the Rubykitty always makes me happy, and guacamole. :3 Oh- and picturing Milla Jovovich with a riding crop & thigh-high black leather boots. ;)

Day 3: (12/19) Writing to Julian. Getting asked about how I got to where I am in my career. Therefore, feeling like I've done something with myself.
