Today Was Just An Awesome Day! Please Do Tell:

[goingonhope]

Not one thing you can do, either but know that metermaid was standing over your car watching the thing slide to zero, before sticking the pink $60. ticket under there.

I fled to the car finally, the meter had indeed of course run out a good hour before but no ticket!!! It seriously made my entire WEEK seeing that! I drove away ridiculously pleased,

Hi anni, ...Hey, .....I enjoyed reading your post.

What an experience, huh'? The MRI, poison sumac, broken machine, please lay still. ....ya sure thing, I'll try. The anxiety, 100 degree temps, and then...........SURPRISE, absolutely No ticket. Great story, ...I giggled with identification with the #'s obstacles in front of you, you had to first overcome, ........You got through it though and it sounds like you cooperated too.

And then surprise, .....Saved big-time on a potential $60.00 ticket, ..that ain't no small stuff. Where I live tickets for such would be less then half that. Wow!

Have you ever wished that even as average people we all could just apply fines, fees and tickets to others :laugh: (lol).

Again, cool, itchy story, (smiles) and one that is pretty Awesome!

Hey' did you make any self-care plans for the sixty dollars the metermaid didn't sock you? (SMILES)

Today was an excellent day for me. I got up and cleaned up the house, I went to the store, I cooked.

Then I went to my friends house and sat in the backyard in the sun and we talked and laughed. It was so nice! I didn't have to worry about my seperation or anything serious. I could just enjoy myself and feel normal. I didn't have that for such a long time! For a long time when I would go and be with friends I would get punished when I got home by passive aggressive behavior and anger because I wasn't suppose to be with friends or have fun. Now things are starting to change for me and I can just hope and hope that it continues.

Hahahahaha! No, I didn't make any plans for the 60 bucks- was just too pleased at the thought of not having that darn ticket. It somehow made all the silly discomforts worthwhile in the end, like finding a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket under a pile of dog dirt or something. In point of fact probably sucked some $ in gas I should not have, blasting the Hemi along the back stretch here in a good mood later. Hee. Kind of a rocket, and sometimes I suppose sticking the foot down a little too far would count as self-care. Fun. :D

It's a great thread, Hope!

Last night was lovely.

I was supposed to go to graduation the morning of- but I managed to get food poisoning the night before. So I didn't have to walk- which, sadly, I was so happy of. The FP was mostly gone by 3 that afternoon so my friends decided they didn't care that I was a terrible mess, they were coming over anyway. and just having all of them over and still having the excuse of the FP meant that if I needed to get away from the people, I could easily go inside. It also meant they all tried really hard to get along to make things relaxing and easy for me. It was lovely.

After a roughish night and expecting all today's plans for a BBQ to be cancelled, we had an amazing day today.

BBQ planned for 6, us, 2 family members and 2 friends. Friends could not make it as he is ill himself, (not PTSD), hubby upset about his friend, me expecting hubby to say sorry cant do this today.

How wrong was I to expect the same as would have happened last year.

Hubby helped me with the last of the preparations this morning, then had an hours sleep before family arrived. He sat and chatted for quite a while inside with my daughters partner, while we sat out waiting for BBQ coals to get hot.

He did sit out with us all for a while, but was happier being able to come in and out as he felt able. He did eat with us, and did wind me up about being the only women he knew who could light a BBQ first time. :rolleyes: The cheek of him, I have done this for years, so had plenty of practice. :D

Loads of food left, as 4 of us could not eat all I had done. So what was not put on the BBQ, went into freezer for another time.

Hubby has now gone to bed, exhausted, but happy he did this.

Tonight one of the best things happened!!! I haved logged on to facebook thanks to this forum, and tonight I am having a conversation with my daughter!!!! Right now as I write this message we are sending messages to each other. I have missed her so much and tonight she told me how much she loves me and she just wants to put her arms around my neck. Sometimes there are some memories that are special beyond belief!!!

My room is so clean! That is awesome.. I am awesome!

Edit:
....Cause usually I get caught up in self neglect and everything around me becomes a mess.

Today was awesome because after not being able to eat anything but pretzels and noodles for the last 72 hours- I was able to eat chocolate cake and only feel a little bit sick.

I'm so pleased you had a good time. You all deserved it.

A little tip. Left over cooked BBQ meat makes a great curry, especially sausage, I don't know what it is but it holds the flavours.
