Not that exciting to others, BUT it is to us.

We had an issue with the pole we bought for the bird feeders. Although things seemed to be going well with out $20 special, last night or this am something happened and we found it broken in the yard along with a TON of spilled seed and two broken feeders.

So we took a ride to Wild Birds Unlimited and we bought a nice new fancy shmancy one.
It will likely outlast me! lol

I got a yob!

I don't want to get into details, because I'm still afraid I'll jinx it until I start, but suffice to say it's a really great job (the pay ain't huge, but the people I'll be working for and with are amazing) in the public sector and I think I'm going to be very happy.

Oh, and I start on Thursday. I could have waited until monday but I'm like "no, let's get me going this week if you want" and they agreed. It's just part time but it's a huge doorway (I mean that in two senses: the job is a huge doorway to a happy life and opportunities within the place, and the building I will be working in is one of my favorite and one of the oldest buildings nearby besides the library and has those huge beautiful carved wooden doorways that extend almost to the five thousand foot ceilings which is fifteen thousand feet if you count all three floors...but I exaggerate about the ceilings because I have no concept of height or distance or direction...lol...)

Anyway, I'm really happy and I'm still in shock because I just found out this morning. It's been a long time and a lot of hard roads since I left minor hell then major hell, and then went through the worst kind of hell losing my favorite person on earth but I'm glad I got to be there for her, and I kept getting so close to yobs when I really started looking again, some that maybe would have made me some good money, maybe had some good and bad aspects...and I kept getting disappointed. I'm very lucky and very happy and I cannot wait to start! So I know most don't believe we get what we need when we need it but I'm really thinking that's what happened here. I'll keep you posted.

I came here to post about what's making me happy just right now... and was pleasantly surprised by im's post.

aaaaannnyway.

what's making me happy right now is listening to Pandora, my Tom Lehrer Radio station. sooo funny, so smart. Tom Lehrer, Monty Python, Jonathan Coulton, and Pete Seeger, Weird Al Jankovick, just laffs and smiles. I have the house to myself for a couple hours, and I've got it turned up loud. fun, fun, fun!
