The "Made My Day Better" Thread

[Mr. Foetus]

People tend to talk about their crappy days, but we seem to overlook the relatively cool things that happen. And, by pointing them out, we're more aware of the good part of our day and thus we can enjoy it more. So this is a thread where you post about things that made your day better, whether they're small things or awesome things. Standard rules apply, so on and so forth.

There have been termites attacking the house recently, and I was expecting them to be back around this time of the day. But they've completely died down, meaning we can get rid of them easier.

(Actually, would this go in the main general section?)

Nah, you're good. The thread just won't increase anybody's post-count, but who cares?

While I tend not to have that many crappy days in general, today was really brightened up by my job interview. I really think I nailed it, so I'm absolutely delighted at things right now.

(Of course, if I don't get the job, I'll look like a right ol' silly sausage in this post, now won't I?)

[Mr. Foetus]

Good luck to you, sir! Feeling like you nailed it probably means you got the confidence test out of the way, which is always a hurtle for interviews.

Wound up helping with pulling weeds and getting around fifteen bags of mulch in the yard yesterday. I was ready to stop after a few bags, but I'm glad I didn't because that took away a lot of work I'll have to do this week now.

I find that if I'm having a pretty crappy day, a good shower around the later hours of the day leaves me feeling refreshed and revitalized, ready for the next day's tribulations. But I digress.

A friend of mine on Deviantart recently asked me if it would be all right if he drew some art of one of my roleplaying game characters, a robot girl named Cross (shown here). I've almost always left a good word on his account, because he's pretty talented, and we both share a huge interest in androids, particularly female ones. I jumped at the chance to have additional reference artwork for Cross; it always helps for the RP sessions.

I spent the better part of today ruing freelance jobs because of a lack of consistency or work-related socializing. Then I called one of my bosses and he was just so into the project that I felt completely motivated. Yay!

Uh... it was yesterday I believe...?

It was really a bad day for me: being yelled at, cleaning the house twice on the same day (all of that because of my older sister which is strict about cleaniness coming home), stupid self-pity over nothing, etc...

Then suddenly at night I checked the status of one of my favorite manga scanlation which had stopped since last year. It was a comedy manga (4-koma) that it was sure to put a smile on anyone.... and it updated with a whooping more than 10 chapters on a single day. I spent all the rest of my free time reading and laughing out loud.

Sure, my cheeks hurt after that but man. That really made my day.
