Reasons To Be Cheerful

1. My 78 year old granny got a new bike today. I think that's class.

2. I also got complimented twice today!!

3. I'm half packed for a weekend away with my bestie.

4. My dog is snoring beside me and it just so happens she's the cutest dog in the whole wide world.

Grannies are the best!

I should have had four reasons, because I have a great granny.

I was looking through a winter coat I stopped wearing in March for an old leap card since I left my most recent leap card in work because I cycled home yesterday. I found it and a 20€ note.

1) - I know what I want.

2) - I know how to get it.

3) - I really want it.

The work I'm being put under pressure to get done quickly is proceeding as hoped.

Something will delay it, definitely, but for now I'm going to enjoy the lack of panic.

Ok, yay, I have one

Removed my duvet cover to change it about a fortnight ago, yet every day since I tried to work up to putting the new one on, and it just felt too hard.

Finally just there now I managed to do it.

But the better reason to be cheerful is that it's a brand new duvet cover, so looking forward to sleeping in it tonight.

Oh, and I stood on my bed to shake the duvet into the cover, and confirm that by bed frame is definitely fixed - broke the bed last month and the landlord had to fix it

(for the record, I hadn't been doing anything remotely exciting to break it, except move it from one side of the room to the other :P It was already a vulnerable wee thing)

Had the best workout for the first time in a while. 75 consecutive days of meditation as well, never miss it! Mind and body are strong.

Heard this tune on the radio earlier and it has been on loop for quite a while now, can't get enough of it!

What you really, really want.

1. Everything will work out in the end.

2. I'm madly in love with running again.

3. My chilli plants flowered today

I can't stress enough how integral comedy and a good laugh is (The "you laugh you lose LOLercoaster threads" being an example) to pulling me from my foul moods and sense of nihilism sometimes.

Ruu · 27-05-2015 10:35PM

^^ Well said. Load Youtube with panel shows, WILTY, 8 out of 10 Cats, etc.

I'm dusting off my overcoat and driving to Dublin in the next few days. For the second time in my life and the first since the early 1980s I'm going to visit a gay pub. Two actually. At this stage of my life to quote the Marigold Hotel, my being gay is largely theoretical but I'm going to remember the bad days and those who aren't here to see our greatest and I'm going because I want to and I can. It's just a personal pilgrimage and it will fill me with loss and memory and joy and peace.

Only Fools And Horses is an audio-visual antidepressant.

I could watch it in a loop.

What a lovely post. So bittersweet!

Enjoy your day, I hope it brings you more peace and joy than sad nostalgia.

Shooting Stars is on UK Gold at 11.40, so silly and surreal it's hilarious!

Today I've enjoyed one the most grovelling phone calls from the other side's solicitor I've experienced in years. And I'm batting for the good side and the small guys, for a change. And she (the solicitor) still hasn't got the faintest clue about the tomahawk cruise missile already heading her and her client's way.

Today was a good day. Professional satisfaction like I haven't been able to enjoy in a long, long time.

And I've still got the checkmating to look forward to, before I ask for, and get, their firstborn.

I ordered new runners today, niiiiiiiice!

YurOK2 · 27-05-2015 10:45PM

I had a great weekend in Dublin, shopping, afternoon tea in the Westin, prosecco in the sun, more shopping, bought loads of gorgeous stuff and a new Marc Jacobs handbag

I passed my bike test yesterday (first time)

I'm going to Monart next week for my birthday

I used to leave UKGold on all the time when I was a student, it was a constant run of Harry Enfield, The Fast Show, OFAH, Shooting Stars, and various other 80's/90's classics.

Self acceptance and acceptance is indeed a priceless treasure. A hard challenge too. Well done.

I like CD's. Something quite satisfying about having a hard copy.
