5 cheerful things

[truepenny]

So I voted today, in exactly the pinkoliberalcommiebitch way you would expect of me. I also ran a number of other errands, including an appointment with my GI specialist so that maybe I can stop feeling queasy all the time.

And, following mrissa's Law, I stopped for ice cream. (The Chocolate Shoppe's Peanut Butter Cup, which--just in case you need to know--I recommend highly.)

Ice cream is almost always, IMHO, a good idea. Sometimes, it is also the right idea, and today was one of those times. My mood and general demeanor improved approximately a hundredfold between walking into the ice cream parlor and walking out again.

In celebration of that, I'm going to offer a list of some other things that have made me feel cheerful this week:

• Occasionally, I talk in my sleep. Sunday morning, mirrorthaw tells me, I said, very clearly, "Oh god, an audience." I have no idea what I was dreaming about.
  
• Monday, when I dragged myself out of bed, there were no jellicle ninjas visible. I staggered out into the hall, and--like magic!--two little black faces appeared, one from the TV room and one from the stairs, to see if I was doing anything cats might be interested in.
  
• The crocuses are blooming, in a distinctly Dear Old Man Winter, fuck you very much fashion.
  
• Drabblecast has given matociquala and me an awesome graphic:

It's not like you have a Guest of Honor speech coming up in a few days. ;-)

Oh, Chocolate Shoppe. "You want nutrition, eat carrots." ♥

I friended you when I discovered you will be a GoH at Oddcon this weekend.

After reading this post, I'm really looking forward to meeting you.

I love the phrase "jellicle ninjas". I hope it's okay if I gank that, as I have three of them in my household, too.

Perfectly okay!

And please do come say hi at OddCon.

It's true, ice cream cures most ills. If you're ever in Richmond VA, I highly recommend Gelati Celesti's handmade flavors - I'm fondest of the chocolate decadence, but they have lots to select amongst.

Congratulations on the graphic!
We need to form a league of pinkowhatsit bitches. And fly the red flag.

Oh yes. I would be thrilled to be a member of the League of Pinkowhatsit Bitches

We need t-shirts. And superpowers.

So... were you doing anything that cats were interested in?

Not at that exact moment, no. :)
