I'm in the mediation program at my school and today we got a referal. The girls came into the mediation sniping at each other incessantly and with A LOT of anger. Two hours later, they left smiling.

Olivet and her family are coming in town, and both our husbands said they didn't mind if we went out and saw a movie together. It's like a "girl's night out". I can't wait.

Claudia Therese got through to the psychologist that wouldn't call me back. Shortly after, said psychologist gave my mom a call-- at work-- to tell her that an appointment would be made shortly for me and a psychiatrist. That made me very, very, VERY happy.

This is fairly trivial, but it made me very happy today that the weather report says it won't be quite so hot the next couple of days. It was 100 degrees yesterday, and 98 or 99 today. It's way too early for that nonsense. Especially since I am without air conditioner or swamp cooler - have to make do with a couple of fans and lots of trips to the library. (Of course, I don't mind so much when my P. G. & E. bill is only twenty-five or thirty dollars a month when everyone else's is in the $150 to $200 range because they run their a.c. day and night. )

I woke up at 7:30 AM on a Saturday, went on a hike, it was perfect weather, we got rained and hailed on, I had the most delicious hummus I've ever tasted (but of course everything tastes better in the mountains), I called one of my friends on a cell phone from the top of this big hike with an awesome view, I am muddy and sore and exhausted. Life is good and the best part, I'm gonna go take a bubble bath and then take a nap! yay!!

I was actually in a pretty crappy mood today and decided to go to the city in order to return some overdue books at the library. Upon reaching my destination, the library decided to be closed this memorial day weekend and thus I was left with nothing to do and an extremely large and heavy bag o' books. So I went shopping, found a perfect black tank and a lovely pair of linen pants and my day turned right up again.

This wasn't today but it still made me happy; I went to prom on Saturday with a friend of mine and had a blast! They had a Hollywood theme and the decorations were awesome and so was the food and I love to dace so that part was wicked fun as well. Then on Sunday I went to see the Matrix: Reloaded which was good so yeah, I'm happy!

We got home just hours ago after two weeks of family vacation. My roses, clematis, and rhodedendrons are blooming. Mom had dinner all planned so we didn't need to eat another dinner out -- and it was fantastic. And I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday.

Ok, something did make me happy, as of a few minutes ago. Talked on the phone to an ex of mine and had a real, friendly, significant conversation. I've missed talking to him, and it's good to know I haven't lost a good friend.

Dragan: Ditto that. After 26 days (yes, we counted) of rain I'm all up for the days without rain to start.
Aside from that... Seeing people I've known for 11 years but hadn't seen in one. Everyone's changed so much... Having the house all to yourself is also rather nice. Not to mention quiet.
Best "happy day" event: Hearing Paul's (Black Fox's) laughter for the first time in over two months. It's funny how it's the little things like laughter that I miss the most. But anyways... VERY good day.

Jane X!!!! I've been trying to find someone to talk to about the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant! I've been asking all my friends if they've read it and they all say no. Now I see you have! That makes me very happy.
I just finished The Illearth War last night. Started on the Power that Preserves. It's so sad! I don't know if I can bear it. I'm being overmastered by this destroyer who uses every good hope, every saving impulse, to trap people into despair! Save me!
When Thomas raped Lena in the first book, I almost put it down and didn't go on. It's so dark! He's so bitter and angry! How can he ever redeem himself from that? The only thing that kept me going was the promise of the giant who laughed, and the fact that Skyweir took his name from there.

I drove to Austin this weekend to go the wedding reception of an old friend of mine. She married a guy from Texas (which I thought was very clever), and so I could go. When I got there, we did the squeal and run thing, and she hugged for almost a whole minute. When we finally let go, she was crying, she was so happy to see me.
Bear hugs and tears of joy! Now THAT'S a welcome!

ak -- do continue reading! It is dark, but still manages to be heroic at the same time. Very compelling. I enjoyed it when I read it a few years ago. Sadly, while waiting to find copies at the second hand store, I lost track of where I was. I'll have to pick it up again. I think there are three series.

My boyfriend fell asleep with his noggin in my lap while we were watching videos on the couch this weekend. And then he left for a family gathering, wearing the ring I gave him for his birthday. Too cool.

I have been home since April 22, and attempting to find a job has been a nightmare. I have applied at over 20 places and not a single one called me back. Today the temp service I applied at called me, and I start on Wednesday!!
The job seems perfect for me. It's a basic secretarial office job. The hours are 9-3 Monday-Friday. And I get paid $9.00/hour.

Go you, hansenj! It took me a month to find a job, and since then, I've had two offers and a request for an interview. Go figure. Your job sounds nice.
