Title: What made you happy today?
Post by sandie99 on Oct 10th, 2006, 12:40pm
I thought that we'd need to see some happy things in here! ;)

Now, let's see, what made me happy today...

Well, I did see two beautiful birds, next to my window. According to my dictionary their species were called great tit in English. (is it just me, or is the name funny??? ;;D)

And secondly, it's always great to hear my best supporter's voice... It was nice of him to call me. :)

So far no hits today, that's always a happy thing! :)

Now, how about you guys?

PF days to all,
Sanna

Looks to be similar to our chickadees and tufted titmouse (I know....I know....the name).

Aren't these the guys who learned how to take the tops off of containers of cream?  Interesting example of cultural learning in birds--when the milkman would leave bottles of cream on front steps in Britain, some of these birds learned to peck through the foil tops to drink the cream.  After a few years, the birds were doing it all over Britain.  Now, of course, there probably aren't many milkmen, and containers of cream are likely in cardboard cartons, so I doubt that they're doing it anymore.

What made me happy?  A sunny, beautiful autumn day here--hard to be morose when it's so splendid outside.

Best,

George

Could it be the call I got when I arrived at my office that an employee cut his finger and had to have stitches last night and now I have an hours worth of paperwork to fill out? Maybe! Or could it be the hour and a half I spent with an investigator regarding an injury that happened a few weeks ago? Nope!.........I guess it's up to you clusterheads to make me happy today!

Receiving an IM hug from one CHer to cheer me up after an extra tough day at work and another IM from a second CHer who is a wonderful friend.

Going for a long walk in a few minutes with my dogs on a beautiful, sunny warm day knowing there is a nice ice  cold Heineken waiting for me when I get back.

Uh, yeah, Sandie, that's a strange name for a bird huh?  :P

Pattie, that's a cute critter...so long it doesn't come near me...uh, I meant Crystal, you know, she's scared of things like that.

Actually milkmen still leave milk in bottles and the little buggers know which houses (like mine!) get milk delivered! I've just restarted again as I always stop through the summer as I don't like rancid milk - fussy aren't I?!

Whats made me happy today? Talking to friends and knowing I'm loved  :)

Patti,

Is that a Woolybear???  When I lived in Vermilion, Ohio, every fall we had the Woolybear festival and every spring we had the Fish Festival.  I loved those cute little fuzzy creatures!!  I absolutely hate bugs, but I would pick those up and carry them around!  They were cute! :)


What made me happy today....let's see.....
1. Bright sunny day
2. Catching the train on time, even though I left late!
3. Finally getting my pain meds filled after spending most of last night in the ER for severe shoulder pain and muscle spasms
4. Happiness that my ortho will be able to see me tomorrow, and not a month from now - which often happens, even though I spent the night in the ER and have my arm in a sling!
5. Getting copies of my xrays and ER chart immediately just by sharing what happened!
6. Finally getting the sling adjusted right so that my elbow was resting in the sling and not relying on the pressure in my wrist, which was really hurting!!
7. Last night, what made me happy was having my friend Sean, a 2nd year OB resident, come and talk to me for about 15 minutes while in the ER, even though he was having a very busy night float night - and also for still being happy to hear from me at 1:30am when I finally got home!
8. Eating pumpkin cookies I made the other day!
9. Finding some cute postcards and Philadelphia souvenirs to send over the pond to a certain friend and her 3 children! ;)
10. New carpet in the apartment building!
11. Opening my front door and seeing my kitty curled up in the little wicker basket bed I bought him awhile ago, that he has only recently started lying in!

I could go on...but I think that's good for now!  In spite of it all, I try to remind myself of the things that make me happy every day...helps to get through everything else! :)

I woke up this morning and was immediately reminded that the last 24 years aren't a dream - they're reality, and I've been privileged to have been spending them with my best friend.

I went for a walk with our dog.

I took our son to school.

I came to work at a job I really enjoy.

I'm going to band practice tonight.

Each of these things has made me happy today.

That I had a McDonald's hot fudge sundae (god, that's good syrup) and a senior coffee while waiting for my bus and yakking with my other gray haired friends at our usual table. http://smiles.ru/coll/dark/eda.gif?SSImageQuality=Full

I'm easy.

I'm out of cycle.

The sun is shining

It's not hot - it's not cold.

The birds are singing.

That's about all I can say that has been good about today. Everything else absolutely has been awful.

Sorry - I'm apparently in a funk and pissed as hell.

Absolutely correct.  I've even heard of Vermilion's woolybear festival.  Pretty cute for an insect.  The black stripe is fairly average indicating an average winter, according to folklore.

Cool!  I totally remember that folklore!!  Wow...hadn't thought about woolybears in a long time!!  I used to live on Huron St. in Vermilion, which was right across from Lake Erie.  My dad was actually involved in the construction of the Vermilion Lighthouse replica.  We lived across the street from the Maritime Museum, where the lighthouse currently stands.

I loved Vermilion so much!!  Going back there next July for my best friend Megan's wedding.  Well, she was my best friend when I lived there, that is!!

Way cool...  once I won a teddy bear at the Woolybear festival playing some game, and I named him wooly. ;)

My puppy has taken to me rather quite quickly. So have I.
Ozz Zombie is a very smart animal, and has already watched me ride out attacks. I went to take him for a walk after my attack ended today, and was putting my pants on when Zombie has my shoes and socks in his mouth and plops them down in front of me. Haveing a fun new companion has made me smile alot today. Getting ready to take him for yet another walk. last night he watched me ride out an atytack and whimpered for awhile.

1.   Reading this thread.  Seeing Jim back and happy about something after what he went through.  Seeing Sandie in the same way.

2.   My son kissing my head to make the pain go away.

3.   Looking at the picture of my daughter even though I can't hold, protect, or be there for her right now.

4.   Eating dinner on my anniversary with my wife and her say how happy she has been since we married.  (We also got %30 off plus free dessert and I almost made it through without getting hit).

5.  Hearing my younger son sing a song after bathtime.

1.  Finding out my new glasses were covered under waranty and were not going to cost me $500.
2.  Seeing Jim post about Coyotes in his yard and his wonderful daughter..
3.  Perfect weather.
4.  Being pf since 3:30 AM  (no real cycle, yet)
5.  The fact that Jimmers bonus check was there to cover what he spent.

Sums it up for me.  

Aside from that. I'm cranky and tired.
