I met this little lady:
She is a Lakeland terrier, eleven weeks old and belongs to my aunty and cousin. Her name is Ruby and she is so damn gorgeous that my head nearly exploded.
Straight after meeting Ruby, I bought myself some jonquils. After plopping a bunch into a vase, I took off to the other end of the house to find another one and came back into the kitchen to see my cat, Archie, giving the yellow flowers the once-over:
on the bench and all, if you don't mind. Judging by the way he's got his ears back, I'm going to guess he doesn't like the smell of them too much.
And another thing that made me happy today was finishing and submitting an assignment, and then being able to put a solid line through it on my Things That Give Me Grief list.
Add to that tacos for dinner, a night in front of the television rugged up in flanelette pyjamas and going to bed in my warm bed, it's been a pretty good day.
To stop myself from wallowing in a pool of self-pity, I'm going to start listing at least three things, every day, that have brought a smile to my face. It's so easy to let the shitty feelings take over. Mind you, I've done this sort of thing before and lasted two days, but it's the thought that counts, surely?
I hope you all had (are still having) fantastic weekends!
OMG, Ruby is TOTALLY ADORABLE! And Archie is so cute! I love that look on his face, lol. I know it well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your assignment - it's such a good feeling to get rid of things like that ... I procrastinate a lot even though I know I'm going to feel so much better when I finish whatever it is I have been avoiding (I do this a lot at work!).
LOVE flannelette pyjamas. I am in mine, too ;)
Your list idea is a good one ... I thought of doing that sometime last year but lasted a grand total of, um, three days. So I hope you have better luck with yours!

If Ruby and Archie could have babies, I would die. DIE.
ReplyDeleteI've got this massive list to work through and even though I know it will be just such a weight off my shoulders to do them, I still put them off. It's so frustrating.
I'm positive my list keeping isn't going to last, but it's a nice thought :)
Yay! Feels good to take care of things, nothing like lifting another weight off of your shoulders. I sometimes write down positive thoughts/affirmations/everyday things in my journal. It really does help!
ReplyDeleteOh and don't get me started on Ruby and Archie- those two are precious!!
Oh my goodness, I love Ruby! And what a cute name for an adorable little lady. I also love your idea for listing three things that make you happy every day. :)

Habebi: It really does feel like such an accomplishment to be able to cross something off the list. Especially if it's something that I've been putting off for ages.
ReplyDeleteValerie: Hi there! Writing things down was such a grand plan and just like I suspected, it lasted all of two days. What a shocker. Thanks for visiting :)
