bubble of happiness
Today, I woke up feeling kinda happy. Despite another restless night of not so great sleep, and a vague sense of panic lurking behind the optimism and relief of things starting to get okay again, I still couldn’t stop humming as I got ready, smiling at my neighbours and the dustbin bergies and just feeling happy to be out in the sunshine on a beautiful Wednesday in Cape Town.
Reasons to feel good today…
* My external hard drive arrived this morning. It’s beautiful – smallish at 320GB, but sleek, black and slim… just the right size to easily fit into my handbag and store music, series, movies and other shiz. Love it.
* My drive is now chock-a-block full of stuffs. Loads and loads of music that I’m enjoying right at this moment, plus all sorts of series. Tomorrow I add a few avant garde hardcore horrors, amped!
* All my daily annoyances at work are evaporating. I simply take a deep breath, smile indulgently and stop caring. After all, it really doesn’t matter all that much.
* My flat is gloriously clean and calm thanks to Debra. I don’t know how I would ever survive without her, she manages to get everything ship shape, and entertain the kitten too. Cats love her, I love her… even my plants love her, seeing as how she’s the only one who waters them.
* The copy team had all sorts of fun throughout the day. I Write Like… was especially engrossing, nothing a writer likes better than sharing a style with a famous writer. Ok, Dan Brown and Kurt Vonnegut aren’t quite the same as Hunter S. or Murakami for me, but still – it’s something.
* I have all the ingredients for the ultimate state of zen. Shiraz, Jimi Hendrix, a microwave warmer thingy and Lindt Touch of Sea Salt chocolate. That my friends is pretty much all I could want at this very moment in time.
How was your day, and any Wednesday Wins to brighten things up?
