bcholmes, did I steal this icon from you? I was sick the other day and snagged it from someone without asking, and now a zillion people are loving on it, and I can't tell them where it came from. (Also, um, is it okay if I steal it?)

So far, I've spent the first day of my vacation very happily. Took my time getting up and around today; made a lovely, simple breakfast; kissed someotherguy goodbye and went and had a couple hours of spirited conversation and overcaffeination with stonebender. While I was gone, someotherguy gave wtfpotatoes permission to bring a guinea pig home with her. Now he's out buying butter and I'm sitting on my ass doing exactly nothing. Tomorrow, I can clean and bake and read magazine submissions. Today, I'm going to enjoy the day off.

(The one down side of today is that I goofed up and made an appointment for the solar company that it turns out I shouldn't have made, and now I have to reschedule the customer, which of course means there's a chance she'll just cancel. Hope that doesn't happen, but no one's perfect.)

Happy things, days 10 and 11 of 8

Yesterday's happy things:

1) I really like my new GP
2) I was able to get my medical records for him, finally
3) I think he's going to take my pain seriously
4) I read my medical records, and the long journey to "you have a perfectly healthy heart" is documented there, and made me feel healthy and good
5) End of work; beginning of vacation
6) Several long phone calls from wtfpotatoes, including lots of iterations of "I misses you!"

Today's happy things:

1) My boyfriends!!
2) TIME with my boyfriends!!!!!!!
3) Grilled cheese sammiches
4) Craptastic movies like "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.", starring -- yes, you guessed it -- David Hasselhoff!
5) We're not getting a cat
6) Or a 20-foot-long python
7) Or a guinea pig
8) A couple more long phone calls from wtfpotatoes, who has made up with my mom, it seems, and that's *really* good.
9) First full day of vacation, spent vacationing
10) I have figured out how to get my required six to seven hours of sleep every night: Stay in bed for ten to twelve hours. I don't *want* to spend twelve hours a day in bed, but if it means I wake up in the morning and I don't feel like a psychotic maniac who is destined to chew off the faces of my loved ones (yeah, that's a bit of an overstatement), then I'm good to go.
11) Friends and family who are totally supportive of my need to spend twelve hours a day in bed
