Happiness, Day 6

Today's gratitudes:

1. My Happy Mugs arrived!!!! Very exciting. I had this Eco mug that was really nice and looked like a candy cane. It was perfect because I could steam my milk in it and it wouldn't burn it, and it was the perfect grande latte size, and I could make coffee in it and take it to go. But then I broke it and was sad. I had to get by with making a tall latte size in a kitchen mug, which meant I had to be in my apartment to drink coffee. But now my replacement Happy Mug, along with two other Happy Mugs, have arrived and yay that means back to business as normal!
2. Bubble baths. So warm and relaxing. Prepares me for sleep, which I would be doing right now except for:
3. I wanted to continue the happiness trend so bad that I'm posting right now instead of going to sleep right after my bubble bath. Ranting is nice because it gets the negativity out of your system, but it can take awhile. After I wrote my last two posts, I didn't just forget about what I had written; I ended up stewing about it for awhile because I had relived all that horrible stuff. I realized I truly do want to be happy, and this had been working pretty well (except the meditation bit).

Today's  kindness:
It was a kindness to myself. My strat professor presented today instead of me, which means mine is pushed back (again) to the next class. I generally like to get them out of the way so I can stop worrying about them, but today I didn't really care and didn't really feel inconvenienced. I have it prepared, so it doesn't matter when I present it.

Today's reflection:
Today was a pretty good day in general! I got minimally caught up on my TA stuff during my break between classes and after class. I went to the continuation of the CMG short course, which was nice because I'm learning so much from it and I'm enjoying it. The computer lab was unavailable because someone was teaching a class in there, so I went up to the library to record the grades. I got to talk with a nice guy in my GIS class as well as the nice librarian. I did not go to the gym because for some reason my back started to hurt, but it was a good decision because I knew that if I pushed myself to go, I would have gotten injured. Hopefully it's better tomorrow morning. I came home and ate some leftover pizza (delicious) and made 2 coffees in my new Happy Mug. I got myself organized and up to speed. I needed to print out the large document for the next short course in CMOST, so that meant I had to re-install my printer/scanner. Powerpoint is still working fine, which is a relief. The only thing left to re-install is iTunes, but I don't know how to do that because it magically installed itself last time (here's hoping it will do that again) and downloading it still didn't work. Then Aaliya called me and I talked to her for an hour. She told me some entertaining stories that only close friends would share. It was nice to have that, because I'm not really close enough with anyone here to talk about that stuff. Then I took my bubble bath, wrote this, and now going to sleep!
