Got everything I need for my mom's birthday this week

Every I know made it safely home in the snow last night.

I feel very well today! No headache!

My kitty has spent the hours that both my room mate and I have been home with me! Is it bad that I feel like I'm winning the cat? I want to win her... I want her to love me more!

Also, I ate a healthy lunch and my kittty slept with me last night

I received a phone call this morning and have a job interview tomorrow and got an email yesterday for a job interview on Wednesday.

I hope I can figure out child care so I can actually go to my interviews.

Rehearsals went really well last night!

My husband won dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant during a special menu they are currently having. Each meal is $35.

We will probably go to dinner and a movie.

Wow you guys are on a lucky streak.

l'll go splits with you on Lotto Max

Enjoy your dinner.

lt was a huge positive over more than the last 24 hours to be off work, l haven't been feeling so hot. Getting better now though, and back to work tomorrow.

I have a great life and I am not grateful enough. There are two positives of the day, first is that my colleague and friend has a healthy baby boy (his girlfriend gave birth last night) and second, more trivial one, is that because of snow the university decided to suspend activity for Wednesday and Thursday, which is great as I had an exam to supervise ( I am an assistant lecturer), so I'll be at home with the kitties!

We always win quite a bit. Between me and my husband, we win about 2-4 prizes a month. My father in law always tells me to buy lottery tickets.

You really should!

Another positive over the last 24 hours (for me anyway) is the continual slide of the Canadian dollar. l work for a US company and when l sell my stocks they're in US dollars so my Canadian exchange is so much better.

We got a Wii U today. My husband has been wanting one, but we didn't have the money when they were on for $249 and now they are $299. He got one today for $190 no tax with a game and an extra controller.

It's slightly used, but in very good condition and still had the box. It's his "reward" for getting his new job. He still wants a Playstation 4, but that is going to wait a while still.

starryeyedtiger · Jan 30, 2014

Today was kind of rough; had some medical tests run that were pretty awful. The highlight of my day was just getting to come home, leave all that behind, and enjoy some hot tea and a new episode of my favorite tv show. I love low-key nights in! :red2:

I just won tickets to see The Barenaked Ladies on Tuesday.

I have a job that allows me to take paid sick time which I'm using today. My boyfriend made me coffee and brought it to bed today.

The house is almost back to normal. We did get everything down, but the tree in the living room.

I'm going to say something here and please don't take this negatively. I think that, in a way, it's a positive thing.

Since Bootser died on Saturday, the cats are fairly calm in the morning. I'm getting more sleep. I thought that after years and years of dealing with Bootser at 3:30 in the morning, that I'd be so attuned to early mornings that I'd automatically awaken and not be able to go back to sleep even after she passed. Well, I do wake up, but within a few minutes I've fallen asleep again. That started Sunday morning; I never got out of bed until 7:30. That's been almost unheard of around here. We joked about Bootser letting us sleep in until 5:30 on Christmas morning, that that was her Christmas present to is. And while Rick is awakening around 5:00 or so for work, it's because he's so used to getting up at 5:00 that he just does it.

Me? Well, if he doesn't awaken me, I don't wake up.....I'm simply not hearing much of anything anymore. Rick said he can tell already that I'm getting some extra sleep. And he can also tell that it's a lot calmer around here since Bootser has passed. It used to be that she would start screaming really early and I'd get up around 3:30 and go to the treadmill in the basement just so I wouldn't have to listen to her (There is no way I am feeding cats at 3:30. That simply wasn't going to
happen.

So I guess that that's my positive something, the fact that I am getting more sleep and that things are so much calmer in the house. I'm not being a snot, honest. But it's the truth. And we've both taken notice to it. I miss her. I even miss her meowing to a certain extent. But it's OK.

I've only just seen this. I don't usually come in because..........
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand how you're feeling but I know how sad it is to lose a 4 legged child.

stewball · Feb 1, 2014

I'm sorry Winchester. My phone went barmy.

My kids and grandkids are well.
I've had a massive municipality bill to pay. So I'm a bit money-
worried.

AbbysMom · Feb 3, 2014

Abby was soooooo cuddly yesterday. :nod:

Winchester · Feb 4, 2014

Thank you for your words, Stewball. I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner. But thanks so much.

One of my cohorts spent last week in Mexico and she came back in today. With a bottle of Mexican vanilla for me! How cool is that?! She said that she knows I love vanilla and that I'm always bringing stuff in for people to munch on. And she'd thought I'd like some vanilla. I'm going to make a coffee cake and use some of the vanilla and bring it into work. (I brought those sponge cake cookies in today....forgot them yesterday in all the hassle with the snow....so she took a couple of cookies back to her office for munching with her tea)

And when one of my co-workers came in this morning, he gave my furkids a laser toy! You put it on your finger like a ring and you can turn it on and the cats will chase the light around. I can't wait to go home and try it out on my kids! They've never had a laser toy. (I had brought in some balls that he had been looking for for his boys and told him that they were from my girls to his boys. So his boys gave my girls the laser toy.

It's like Christmas around here lately!

AbbysMom · Feb 4, 2014

My husband did not get laid off today.
