Day 4 Happy: Getting to see friends unexpectedly
Today, like yesterday, I had several things to choose from for my happy! It was originally going to be "getting new books for a tiny amount of money." Our good friends Sarah, Taylor and Nick gave Marc and I a Barnes and Noble gift card for our birthday. Tonight after work, we went down and picked out 2 new books and ended up paying less than $2 out of pocket. I got Russell Brand's "My Booky Wook" (which I am DYING to start reading, but it will have to wait until homework is done. BLAH!) and Marc got the next book in his Dresden series.
However, an EVEN BIGGER HAPPY came around when I send Taylor a text telling her thank you for our gift card, she told me that she and Sarah were at the very bookstore we had just left! They must have arrived just as we were leaving. So, we swung back around and hung out with them, talking wedding plans (yay!) until the store closed. It was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise to get to hang out with them this evening.
Today wasn't perfect. I woke up feeling pretty terrible, with a sore throat and scratchy voice. Work was pretty lame, and it was one of my longest shifts of the week. I have a TON of homework to do before tomorrow, when I have a Criminal Justice exam. Normally, all of that would be pretty bothersome. However, finding my "happy" for the day makes me continuously look out for what is good and try to ignore the ick.
Bonus Happy: We just had a GIGANTIC storm, complete with pounding rain, ridiculous thunder and TONS of lightning.
