indeed it is

**Mari** · 08-02-2008, 02:00 PM

I'm so incredibly happy right now! I went shopping for the first time in a looooooooong time and because I saved up a lot of money, I allowed myself to spend quite a lot as well.
I bought 10 books! And my first MP3-player ever. Plus my parents gave me a ring as a present for graduating ^_^
My sister is going to move out, so we spent a lot of time in big malls selling all sorts of stuff for houses. Kinda like Ikea. I do love that. Testing out furniture, making a map of the room in your head, placing this here and that there. Can't wait till I've got my own place to decorate again!

Is it weird to be so happy about spending money on so many books?

Oh goodness, I've got so much more to read now... WOOHOO!

***Tessar*** · 08-02-2008, 05:46 PM

I'm glad that went so well for you Mari

.

I'm happy... tentatively.... because I think I might actually like my job. Now that I've got gel insoles, my back barely hurts and it's mostly just my wrists and legs that get sore, but now after four days of working a register both of those are getting better too.

I also got to work a register completely by myself all day, and that was rather nice since I didn't have to work with someone who kept telling me the things I already knew from the last six people I'd been shadowing

.

Soooo... I think I'll be happy with this job for a couple of years, hopefully.

hectorberlioz · 08-02-2008, 06:15 PM

Don't get too comfortable, Tessar. Tomorrow might be the Apocalypse.

***Earniel*** · 08-03-2008, 05:38 AM

Went kayaking on the Lesse yesterday with friends, was great fun, didn't turn over with kayak and all but got somewhat wet nevertheless. I got the hang of it surprisingly quickly, but there was just a bit too much people on the water and sometimes it seemed more like being in bumber cars on a fair than on a river.

21 km now I'm so very sore, I wonder if any of my friends are in better condition!

**Mari** · 08-06-2008, 09:04 AM

Making the final preparations for my trip tomorrow! Woohoo!

Which reminds me, I won't be around till Tuesday. Don't do exciting stuff without me!

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 08-06-2008, 09:11 AM

Where are you going?

**Mari** · 08-06-2008, 10:36 AM

To the UK for a long weekend, meeting people and seeing a garden and a historical town. Maybe hike a bit around the Lake District.

Back to work on Wednesday though, but let's not think about that

sisterandcousinandaunt · 08-06-2008, 11:20 AM

Say "hi" to Beatrix Potter for me.

**Mari** · 08-06-2008, 02:35 PM

I have no idea where she is from, but I'll yell 'hi!' from a high mountain for you.

***Tessar*** · 08-06-2008, 03:12 PM

I'm happy for concealer, because for the last week my face has been covered in little 'irritated' looking dots that aren't really full-fledged zits, but they still look blech.

Now I finally don't look like I have horrible acne, just moderate acne. Hooray.

I hate those stupid red marks. >.<

Gwaimir Windgem · 08-06-2008, 05:53 PM

I'm so glad I'm 23.

But actually, I never had serious acne; a dot here and there, but nothing big.

***Tessar*** · 08-07-2008, 11:23 AM

I had yesterday off, today I work nine hours (BUT only till 8:30pm!!!! Not till 11!!!) and then I HAVE TOMORROW OFF TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

*squee's with teh joy!* ^_^

Spoken by a true member of the workforce. it was only like, what, a week ago? That you were praying to get this job. Now you're giddy when released.

*smacks rule silly with both front and back of hand*

***Tessar*** · 08-07-2008, 10:32 PM

What? I love my job

. Today sucked because I had, over the last two hours of my shift, a string of horrible customers... but I still love the job.

I also love sleeping, though, so I celebrate the fact that tonight and possibly tomorrow morning will be filled with sleepy-time

.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 08-08-2008, 10:30 AM

I am so HAPPY!!!!!!!
The filing deadline is over. *wipes brow*

And someone who has been running for the wrong office for years is now running for the right one.

YIPPEE!!!!!

Nerdanel · 08-12-2008, 09:15 AM

I'm going to climb Sweden's highest mountain in a week! 8) That should be great..

**Mari** · 08-12-2008, 03:09 PM

Just came back from visiting my grandmother and for the first time in at least 10 weeks I saw life in her again! I mean, she was doing better before, but now she was talking and engaging in conversation and just energetic. Like she wanted to go for it again.

And when she started to dictate a list of things that she wanted done, the offensive cousin (see venting thread) came in, so I got her to do a few things as well.

I didn't even get angry or show a hint of unpleasantness! *is amazed by her ability to restrain herself*

And I just made my other grandmother very happy by calling her to say I'd come back from my wonderful vacation. Which in turn makes me happy.

Nerdanel · 08-17-2008, 11:31 AM

Going away for a week: I'm going on a hike to northern Sweden, on Wednesday I'll attempt to reach the peak of Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain. 8) It'll be a lot of fun.. I might even come back with a few photos.

Meanwhile, you make sure this thread is above the venting thread when I come back!

See you in a week..
