list three things every day that made me happy

life in crayongrrl land has been crazy recently. Unemployment, badly sprained ankle, boy trouble, travelling (nowhere exciting), best friend moving away for a year, emotional crap – and this has all been in the last month or so!!

Anyway, time to get back on the bandwagon!

1. Riding my bike through the city. I’ve been in and out of town for the last few weeks, and I’ve had a bum leg, so I haven’t been riding very much at all. I rode to the gym, worked out and came back. It’s a 30 minute ride each way, and it’s through a busy part of downtown. I’ll have to get out again tomorrow.

2. Getting my bum to the gym! It’s time to start working out again! my leg’s still stiff, but I think it’s time to get back into action.

3. New job prospects. Crossing my fingers.

1. Sitting in a packed cafe with my roomie and The Boy watching world cup games all day.
2. not having to cook
3. Sinking 2 shots in a row playing pool

1. Got an answer from the Government after waiting 7 months.
2. Sat in a bookstore and read for an hour
3. Hung out with my roomie

1. fixed the button that fell off of my shirt
2. giving the kitty a bath in the rain – it was coming down so hard that he got soaked! I thought hed be upset about it but he actually enjoyed it, and after I dried him off he was purring for hours.
3. dreaming about going overseas to teach English

1. eaching lunch and reading the paper at a cafe around the corner. I never get to watch the city during a weekday. Its amazing how many babies are out!
2. bought glass beaded necklace and matching earrings for my interview, and a pair that matched my bag perfectly! I bought them from a street vendor, and really like them.
3. Superman on IMAX.

1. Made it to yoga class – my body really needed to strech.
2. Started doing some freelance graphic design again. I haven’t done any photoshop favours for people in a while, and it was nice to realize that I still know how to use it and make a decent product.
3. I was relaxed enough to actually feel something for once. May not sound like a lot, but I’ve been numb for most of my life. Feeling is a big deal to me.

1. Brunch with my roomie and The Boy at a little cafe around the corner from my house. None of us had ever been there before. We watched the soccer game, and the food was really good, and cheap!
2. The kitty going limp and purring like mad when I scratched under his chin
3. One of those lazy afternoons spent doing whatever needed to be done and relaxing in each other’s company. I did the dishes, The Boy worked on fixing my computer (I think it’s finally fixed this time!!), playing nintendo, reading. Just chilling out, and for once there was no tension between us.

1. Coffee on a busy downtown patio, reading my new comic (Batman Hush vol. 1)
2. Strolling through the city with The Boy (he never wants to go for walks. this was a rarity) It was a beautiful day. We went and got our passport photos taken, and then he let me pick out a shirt and sandals for him and he modeled it in the changeroom for me (my own live ken doll :P)
3. Watching a 4 hour movie, and sleeping through the first hour and a half, and still being able to grasp the plot and enjoy the rest of the film. (I’m notorious for falling asleep while watching movies at home, and The Boy gets upset that I’ve missed it- but he didn’t notice!)

1. lazy day at work
2. good workout after work
3. cuddling and watching csi with The Boy

1. Getting to the gym, and remembering that I left my gym clothes at home, and instead of turning around and giving up, deciding to lounge in the Sauna in the locker room. Felt soooo good.
2. Grocery run at 12am. I like grocery stores at night. There’s something surreal about them.
3. The “state of the union” talk with The Boy. No arguing. Total agreement on both parts- we need to get away together for a couple of days, even if it is just camping cause we’re both broke ;)
