Post something that made you HAPPY today.

OK I've been away without the internet as I was too stingy to pay extra for internet access while staying in a hotel. So I have something for today and yesterday.

So YESTERDAY I passed my Ph.D. viva where I defended my thesis! W00t.

TODAY while killing time waiting for a train I found an old friend busking playing classical guitar and I hung out with him for an hour or so listening to his music.

This didn't actually happen today, but something that made me happy last week was that a friend of mine got a full-time job. A little backstory about her is that she does VA work for fan projects but back in August she tweeted several discouraging tweets about how everyone was proud of her except for her own parents, how her parents found what she was doing as frivolous, how they said she needed to get a real job and get out, how she felt like they were going to kick her out, how she was scared, and finally how she felt like she had been nothing but a disappointment to them. These tweets were hard for me to read and I had already gone through a sh***y day at work. This just caused me to turn into a nervous wreck because I know how this girl is one of the most kind-hearted people you'll ever come across and everytime I've heard or seen her she just always has a positive, optimistic aura about her. After that, I started praying for her practically non-stop for months and months praying that her situation would get better ajd that she'd find a permanent job instead of just a temporary one at Disneyworld. Then last week I was on her Twitter page and saw a tweet frome her about how she had gotten a "big girl social media job" that was full-time and payed much better. I just felt like a Herculean weight had been taken off my back I was soo relieved. After months of praying for her, it was nice to know that God does answer prayer, even if it doesn't happen when or exactly how we want it.

I ran fast enough, so I got the earlier train home.

I am going to a spectrum social group tonight.

I woke up and made it to class this morning

All my instructors are awesome. I finally have two organized and knowledgeable lady tech teachers.

that I remembered that heaven exists.

Not much.

the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the air is brisk and clear

Successfully wished the guy I like a happy birthday.

My beloved pussycat had a blood pressure check after 2 weeks of meds. It has returned within normal range and the vet said I can leave it 3 months before a further check is necessary.

I forced myself out of bed to make it to class on time

At least it's tolerable to be outside today!

Finished my lab before everyone else was even close, I don't have much going for me, but I do have my intelligence at least.

Huzzah, no more cold! No more plugged ears!

sitting in front of space heater, bundled up and full of matzo ball soup, so not cold and hungry anymore
