Counting Blessings

thessalianMy friends are sweeties. Just so you know.
Couldn't sleep last night, so did some faff and checked my LJ comments etc, and found that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beepbeep had, as a birthday present, bought me paid time on my LJ. Now this thing doesn't expire until January 2009! Such a sweetheart.
Anyway, morning came ... and went without me noticing, as I was asleep. Afternoon, however, was a different story. I woke up, threw some clothes on, checked my FFXI garden - Taru rice! A whole stack! And lots of fire crystals! And I had rock salt and distilled water and everything! All I needed was some kelp and I could up my cookery skill some more! So now I have four stacks of rice balls on sale at the AH and a cooking skill of 31. Oh, and cleared out some of the stuff cluttering up my MH - a definite bonus. Also, someone was selling packets of vegetable seeds cheap so I bought a stack of those, but I'm going to wait until my garden's empty and my Moogle asks for its first lot of time off before I plant those. I need the space.
Then pre-Mage lunch, which was lovely - they've got a new chef and a whole new restaurant set over at the Heffalump so while my much-abused stomach isn't quite liking the idea of Thai green curry, I thoroughly enjoyed it while I was eating it. Andweaselbitch got me a copy of the new Stephen King, Lisey's Story, which sounds really interesting, so yay!
Then Mage -weaselbitch has quotes, but on the whole, they're gearing up for Armageddon. And of course, I'm playing with their heads a bit, but what's a ST for?
So okay - no job, possibly no US trip, and currently a recurrence of hell-migraine, but there are some things to look forward to:
1) Mage-Doom
2) Stuff withdarkdanc3r on Thursday
3) Lying in tomorrow (at least there's that...)
4) Getting paid at least some money on Friday
5) Equus in March
6) Three new books
7) Valentine's Day, sort of (I think the best course of action, given my skintness, is to senddodgyhoodoo out for groceries and cook him something really nice, then snuggle up in front of Time Bandits or something)
I try to keep positive. I'm obviously not the pessimist I tend to think I am.
