Good things

[gwynhefar]

So I've been pretty absent on LJ lately, at least in part because even I was getting tired of my own whinging, so I'm sure the rest of you were getting tired of it too. It's been a miserable, stressful summer by and large, and in the spirit of 'if you can't say something good, don't say anything at all' I've been trying to be mostly quiet.

And when there are a lot of bad things going on, it can be difficult to appreciate the few good things. But I'm going to make a concerted effort to try. Starting with this post.

So, good things:

1) I have successfully transferred my addiction to soda from regular Coke/Dr. Pepper to diet Coke/Dr. Pepper. As a result I've lost 5 lbs. Not that the rest of my food intake is all that much better, but hey, one has to start somewhere.

2) Due to being bumped from my flight back to Baton Rouge after my grandmother's funeral, I was given a $400 voucher from Delta that almost exactly paid for my trip to see shadesong and family for Thanksgiving. Which is good, because I don't know where the money would have come from otherwise.

3) I love my new iPhone, even if it does cost an extra $25/month for the data plan. It was totally worth giving up snacks at work.

4) Lego Harry Potter is an incredibly addictive game, and I need to play more of it.

5) The Big Bang Theory is everything my brother promised it would be, and Netflix is my hero.

Yay indeed for good things! And I managed to transfer some years ago from ordinary Coke to Diet Coke -- and I now prefer the taste of the diet or zero stuff.

It is good to vent on LJ in the safety and support of your friends, but yay for the positives! Hope you get to write more of the fic soon - I'll be waiting *G*
