Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (HD)

What's the good in your life right now? What makes you happy?


After a long week of arranging flights for my 6 year old to go across the country for a month, medications kicking my ass hardcore (girl things. gross things.), corporate coming to work AGAIN, then my car acting up when I was almost 2 states away..

I got to spend the day with my best friend. We hadn't seen each other in about 7 years as his family had moved out into the middle of the ocean. It was really nice. We got to visit..played some KoF and L4D2 for a while.. and it was the first time in 2 years where I was able to go somewhere relaxing and not have to worry about working..or paperwork.. or feeding anyone.. a nice, relaxing, enjoyable day..  Unfortunately, the box of gummy worms I had brought for him melted on the way there, so it was one giant massive gummy..............

The car lived till I got to the store after getting back.. the manager of said store flat out asked me if I wanted to go off with him to do things (!!!), but otherwise, it was uneventful. Got home, got to sleep in, saw a thunderstorm that turned the sky green.. as the husband was coming back with lunch, he said the car went back to normal.

I now have a burger and a quiet house. Good day still going.

Maybe not as pressing as your own issues Momma, but since this is my last year of college there's a lot of pressure on all four classes, lots of assigments including the all fearful final assigment (The nightmare project I mentioned previously)

Along with that working in the library already took it's toll on me which is stressing me out for often having to deal with people that are so stupid and hard-headed which makes me question why the F' are they in college to begin with and by stupid people I mean "Stupid I can't lock a locker door properly" thus blaming me saying that I gave them a broken locker.

And since late last year I made some radical changes in my social circles, i've cut a lot of strings, I stopped hanging out with a lot of people that bothered me although a few that didn't unfortunatly got cut off as well. But all for the best, since i'm hardly dissapointed about going out to parties or clubs only to realize that I was better off at home.

I guess what keeps me going despite everything, it comes down to coming back to a nice and comfy home everyday with a loving family and the occasional get together with the few people i'll gladly call my friends at weekends to play games, drink, eat, talk and stuff. It deftly helps me to cope with the recurring existential crisis.

Also seeing how i'm almost done with college, i'm looking forward to properly working in my area of expertise, maybe open my own brand in future somewhere away from this country, maybe even this continent.

Today I managed to land to a Job at the Repertory theatre after trying my goddamn hardest at interview. Seriously it was like King of Fighters, only much less engrish and somewhat less punching people. But I gave it my all and came out victorious!

Congrats on landing that job Hybridial, I hope it works out for you.

Cool thread. Right now I havent got too much to be stoked about to be honest, but it's always just a matter of time.
The little things make me feel good every day, like a walk in the park with the missus, hooking up with friends or just a really awesome sandwich
My new TV is frikking incredible, it's like I'm playing all my games for the first time.

I have been trying to avoid the heat while enjoying the gaming I can get done without totally losing my mind. I have been a bitr worried about my family's situation with none of our cars working, but its somehow working out ok. We are currently trying to get my grandmother into a really nice looking nursing home so my grandfather can have a piece of mind. I bought 8 pairs of socks today which I really needed and now I am on a quest to buy clothes. Even if it is one piece at a time or a thrift store.

Well, after the frigging stress moment that I've got from my possible dismissal of my current job and adding the stress of being searching for new jobs and some random arguments with my girl, well... found something interesting while doing some job hunting.

They were asking for some voice-over castings and stuff and well, I took my chances. I recoded a little demo and seems my voice was good enough to keep in their database. Man! I never expected I'd be in front of a microphone trying some cool voice-overs in English and Spanish. This new audio studio seems to be producing voice-overs for gaming companies so... who knows? Perhaps I'd turn into a seiyuu? lol.

Whether I work on this or not, sure it was fun and i loved the experience.

^ Voice-actor VV ! Bet you only do the cool/bad-ass type

Getting my daschund x jack russell puppy in a few hours, and going to go on leave next week and possibly the week after, yay! \o/

Okay, time to revive with some good news.

Well, after 6 years of not putting a step on aztec lands, seems it's more than confirmed that I'm returning home for holidays this January the 30th. Tickets are booked already and seems it's almost everything ready to see my family after 6 long years.

I'm excited and afraid at the same time. I know plenty of things have changed in this time... so not sure if I'd like what I'd see or not, but on the flipside I'm so eager to see my moms, my pops, my sis (which gets graduated in this year), tons of good friends and plenty of my relatives.

Sadly, it will be only 18 days, though But meh, better than nothing, I guess.

The snow is melting! It's above freezing for the first time in almost 3 months!

BRING ON THE SPRING.

Insurance finally caved in. We're scheduling the operation for within the next 2 weeks.

That's great, hope everything turns out perfectly with a speedy recovery.

[cactusmomma]

Surgery went without a hitch and I can go home in about 12 hours.

[OrochiLeonaUK]

Awesomesauce.
Now time for some R'n'R Momma.

Glad it went smoothly and you're recovering.

The beeps from all of the equipment keep waking me up..so here's a timeline.

These back issues were caused by a car accident in 2001.

We got here at 6 am, got checked in...all bloodwork (I'm type B+. Kinda neat to know!), disinfecting and medical history was taken... the drugman gave me a little sedative...got onto the operating table while he gave me the full dose. I looked up at the lights overhead, blinked....and it was 3 hours later. They got me to my room from recovery..husband was super relieved....he and I both grabbed naps between noon and 4 pm. His dad brought our daughter up so she could make sure everything was totally ok. While the husband and his dad went to pick up dinner, me and my kiddo hung out for a couple hours and shared a grape popsicle. She drew me a flower on the whiteboard... The dadinlaw and my daughter left so I could get food. The nurses bumped me back up to solid food from chicken broth..husband and I watched some tv and visited a bit more....took occasional naps in the process. They gave me a timed morphine release drip for any pain. The only things that hurt are my throat from being intubated and my shoulders from being on a metal slab for 3 hours. Been stuck in bed all day, doc is supposed to be here in 2 hours or so to go over everything. Right now, I'm bored to death....

For the record, because of this...I wasn't able to feel my arms or legs..kept having massive migraines...and there was excrutiating back pain...all of that was gone instantaneously. There's been moments where I can't stop crying out of joy. These migraines have been constant for 10 years! The physical therapist should be here around 9, to check if I can walk. If I can prove I can eat/talk/swallow/walk on my own, I get to go home today! God has been extremely good to me and I cannot praise him enough for all He's done for this. I'm going to try and get my breakfast in now, so I'll add more later.
