working on being cheerful

[kalmn]

she says, through gritted teeth.

holiday stress + no light + snow + work + still recovering from too many things at once this fall makes for a slightly cranky kal. thus, mandatory cheer.

pirate wore the christmas t-shirt she got for christmas for a week! then we took it off of her.

i have a juggler upstairs.

we have nye plans that sound like fun.

the days are getting longer already.

the juggler made tasty scrambled eggs for dinner. they were even pretty. mine are never pretty.

diet coke is still a quarter at work.

pirate goes "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehmph" when she chews on the hedgehog. very softly.

my life is mostly going the way i want it to go.

okay, that's all i got. what do you have?

I'm pretty stressed out. Too much change, no routines. But trying to focus on good stuff: settled the union contract at work so got a small raise, sold my house and am completely debt-free, really like the new apartment, and planning to get another tattoo Friday. My grandkids and their parents are coming to visit on Saturday, too!

Yay, let's count the good stuff instead of the bad!

We got the rug up before the worst of the flooding.

My kid is home where she's loved and wanted!

I got into my second-choice school (haven't heard from my first choice yet).

I'm going to FOGcon and my kid will probably be in the dealers' room.

It doesn't snow here.

My mom and I both survived munchkin-heavy christmases.

The kid and I are going out to fancy sushi for her birthday.

I have an invite to a kinky NYE party where an author I fangirl will also be a guest, and I have a tentative date for my birthday with new sweetie, on which I have high hopes that fun things will occur.

2011 will be better, dammit. Or else.

What kind of lightbulbs do you have? I know that's kind of random but I have found that the full spectrum sunlight whatevs CFLs help a LOT when I'm not getting enough light. I have a fancy true color light in the studio as well and sometimes even that is useful. I keep meaning to get a lizard lamp at the pet store, too.

Spencer is visiting. We've been cooking food and watching kung fu movies.
