Sometimes, It All Works Out

[thessalian]

There are times in life when things are always either going totally to hell or on the verge of it; where nothing goes exactly according to plan, every endeavour ends in mild to major disappointment and all told, it all sucks.

Sometimes, however, everything goes right, and when it does, that deserves as much of a squee as things going wrong gets a rant.

So when I left off, I was fretting over whether I could really afford Brighton Below tomorrow. Those of you who read the comments I get will have seen the response from yshala, who stepped in in true 'group mum' fashion and offered solutions to damn near everything, bless her heart. dodgyhoodoo tells me that she's just done to me what I do to everybody else and I suppose I can't really argue with that, but it still gives me the warm fuzzies. yshala is just plain awesome.

Better news yet came when my character concept actually got approved, and I was assured by the guy running the thing that I could indeed pay on the door. (I also got my Advantage sorted - dear gods this is not a low-powered game and I can only say *glee*, really; I'm going to have fun with this...) So double-bonus there, all things considered - I can go and I can go IC.

Then, better yet, this morning I checked my bank balance online in preparation to make my weekly contribution to the household funds. Turns out I made a lot more last week than I thought, so the financial fretting was a moot point anyway. So even with the extra I put towards the household finances this week, grocery money and the cash I put into my flexi-savings account as a buffer in case of any further issues like this, I can still pretty comfortably afford Brighton as things stand now.

I'm also feeling a little better. Still nauseous and a bit achy, and my sinuses aren't for shit, but well enough to be up and around, I think. Which is good because I need to get my timesheet signed by 10:30 today in order to be paid on Thursday - bank holiday weekend standard. I'll still try to pull a bit of overtime tonight on the grounds of every little helps, but I feel a lot better about things in general, and plan to have an excellent time tomorrow.

So ... sometimes it goes well. Thank you, yshala and whatever deities happened to be listening.
