Managed to get 2 sheets of drywall up. Small accomplishment but I'll take that.

I forgot...SUNSHINE...a beautiful full day of sunshine!

Hearing from a friend from the past!!
I smiled....:)...when I saw my regular Oncology nurse back today.... |
A LOT brought me so much joy today. Where do I even start!
On the way to lunch date, I received an email from the department secretary apparently they had written a news article about the chili cook off, and while they interviewed the division chair, they mentioned my name as being the winner! woot woot. Then I received an email from the division chair saying I was one of 3 graduate students out of 75 who received a Foundation Scholarship!!! Ah MAZING! Then said lunch date was a HIT! it was so darn windy in this state (and NOT illinois for that matter) that I was able to impress her with my carpentry skills as well because part of her fence had broken apart in the wind! Hooray! |
It was a good day today!
|
My good spirits are still intact today. I woke, warm and rolled up like a human burrito, without the alarm and have fun plans and errands to run today. My fur babies have full bellies and are snoozing at their chosen locations, looking absolutely adorable in the process. The sun is already up and working its magic, warming up the tiny corner of the world in which I reside. All I need now to be 100% content is some food for myself and that's next on the agenda. Happy National Pi Day!

Well, it really happened yesterday so it is still a little fresh. Sorry I'm just getting to the write-up today but.......
Lets see. I received a mention in the local newspaper about the chili cook-off win. It was mixed in with the interview of our division chair (how fun) I'm glad no photos were involved! (hehe) Second, lunch went VERY well! I am excited to know someone else here. Third, I received news that I was 1 of 3 graduate students who were chosen to receive the Foundation scholarship for this year! WoooooHooooo! how exciting! :phonegab: |
Belly rubs......

Waking up feeling better (mentally) then I felt yesterday
|
Making it a pajama day.
|
Me too (Pajama Day). I even went shopping in my pajamas :|
At least no one knew I was in my pajamas, I think. :jester: Unless they saw my slippers, which are unmistakably pajama cousins. :tease: |
black and grey squirrels chasing each other on the top of the fence..what fun!@@

The babies and I were in the bathroom (only one of us was invited) and Gracie was playing like a wee kitten as she tends to do. She kept trying to drag the hair trap from the tub out into the hallway and when I suggested that might not be a good idea, she moved onto the new plastic drain snake that I just got. It's thin, long, plastic and still in the packaging so it's grade A Gracie play stuffs. I have to admit, it was fun watching her get it stuck under the door and trying to drag it out into the hall. Meanwhile, Loki is all like 'pet me!' so I guess you could say my joy came from it being a typical Sunday with the creatures.

draino works great for the hair that slips through
I sat outdoors mostly and really enjoyed watching all the dogs play. Kevie and Jeffrey got to wrestling a little too rough and I had to call Jennifer out. She was so funny. When she did something really grand wrestling with Kevie and Jeffrey, she would stop for a few seconds and look over at me to make sure I had been watching her cool and brave moves. Both of them are quite a bit larger than my little pocket pittie Princess. I fell out laughing lots of times. But it got to the point I had to make her exit the game before she got squashed or seriously injured. She didn't mind because she came over to me . I knew what she wanted so I massaged her while I was saying "she is s-o-o-o pretty, Jennifer Avery is s-o-o-o pretty" about 500 times. She loves to be told how pretty she is! Cracks me up! When I fed them tonight, Jennifer's bowl was close to Kevin so she sat on him while she ate. She has always climbed up and sat on him, especially when she is cold. Kevie never has seemed to mind. |
The gift of a "gently loved" Kenwood stereo system for my apartment. It is several components, and will hold.....450 CD's! I am stoked!!!! (PS I do NOT even own that many CD's....but close...:)

An almost brand new little scooter for my vehicle, being donated to me. It is lightweight, easy to break down & reassemble and this will afford me so much more means of being social again.
The stars & Goddess have truly blessed me with this! Thank you Universe!! |
Confirmation received today that I am due a refund for several months of my health insurance premiums. And confirmation that I'm eligible for help paying future premiums.

It was a gorgeous day. Still a bit chilly out, but bright, sunny. We had a lot of errands to run and that made all that having to get in and out of the car and walk over and over again not so bad. Despite it being a great day weather wise , for whatever reason almost no one was out anywhere we went so we got through everything on our to do list in about ¼ the time it usually takes. Later went for lunch at a restaurant by the water and we were the only customers for about ½ an hour then a couple came in but still only four customers in the building during lunch rush – fantastic. And the food was so good, amazing. With the place dead as it was we were able to get a table right by a big picture window with a good view of the marshy area where some mallard ducks were waddling around, hanging out, and beyond that further out, a bit of a peek at the river. Just a very relaxing, unhurried day. Good company, great food, nice weather, got everything I needed at the store and stayed within budget so yeah, big smiles. Happy, happy day day.
