happy things
1. We just got through Lunar New Year unscathed. Lunar New Year tends to be a time when my mum reflects on her life and hates it, then puts on a happy face because that's what you're supposed to do on New Year's Day and it's the absolute worst. But it's over now and my kids gave very good blessings in Vietnamese in front of an audience and everyone is happy hurrah.
2. Adam has finished his exams for the semester today thank god. The stress was getting unbearable. Now I have no idea if he passed one of the subjects, which will be a bummer, because he's been running a perfect 4.0 GPA/HD average so far and the subject was just terribly run. Adam's got a few weeks now until the next semester starts and I hope he has a good break. He was so burnt out.
3. I had a meeting with my future boss in the Finance team and it looks set to start on Monday 2nd of March. He seems lovely and was very easy going with me asking for leave etc. He went through the role and it looks like I have a lot to learn, which usually wouldn't faze me but my brain genuinely is noticeably worse since I've had kids. I don't know if it's sleep deprivation, the hormones or age, but my brain doesn't work like it used to. But I'm so set for new things, a year on the phones was pretty much my limit.
4. Liam seems to be doing well at Kinder, Toby doing well at daycare. I had a day off today so I got to talk to their teachers etc, something Adam doesn't tend to do much.
5. I got to talk to one of my oldest friends, I haven't spoken to her for months, and she was going through a really tough time in her marriage, and I really should have kept much more in touch because things got really really bad. This is a happy thing for me, because IMO she never should have married him - he's a good guy, he's just not made for marriage. They've been married 5 years now and they still look like they're dating. They have completely separate lives. This is not what my friend wants, and nothing seems to be working. So I think she will finally take the plunge and ask for a divorce and deal with all the crap that goes with that, such as the stigma from the Indian community here.
6. I have been watching Merlin/Arthur fanvids that were made after the finale, and you know what, this is not a happy thing at all this just made me cry big fat tears. BUT OMG I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVED THOSE TWO IDIOTS. THEY WERE MASTER and SERVANT and I feel like this is something Modern AUs sometimes forget. I want to go back and re-read all the fic in the world.
Like this video is one of my absolute favourites, and it only has 9000 views! OMG PLEASE WATCH IT IF YOU EVER LIKED MERLIN/ARTHUR AT ALL.
7. I had my period and wear Libra Ultrathin brand pads, and Toby lifted up my skirt and yelled, "MUMMY WEARING NAPPY!!!!!!!!!!" Lol. Not so Ultrathin, are they?! Omg I almost died. I'm so glad that happened at home and not out somewhere. Toby's newfound vocabulary is a neverending source of amusement around here.
8. I've been Rickrolled twice yesterday alone. I know people find it annoying, but as far as pranks go, I really like it? It's just kind of joyful instead of nasty and I've always loved that song.
