Jun. 29th, 2016 12:20 amI've felt pretty crappy most of the day. But good things are happening. Let's focus on that:
Emily is coming to visit this weekend! We have awesome things planned! It's going to be a blast!
Kayaking and crafternoon on Saturday, for anyone local who wants to join. And piano bar on Friday night. :)
I'm going kayaking tomorrow with Nick. I think this might be my next expensive obsession. The place where we rented kayaks last week was actually totally reasonable, but if I'm doing it 2x a week all summer...I should buy my own damn kayak. Except I'd also have to buy a way to mount it on my car and then not be a lazy fucker, and these things are hard for me.
A short sale of mine that has been pending for six months finally got bank acceptance and there is a closing date! I'll get paid! A tiny commission, but still. Excited to close that one!
A friend of mine just won a major WSOP event. This is awesome for him and super exciting. At the same time, I'm really bad at being purely happy for people when they're crazy successful. I wish I was crazy successful. But I don't try as hard as most of those people, so there's that...I guess I don't want it *that* badly. Still, jealous. But it's awesome for him and he's a good guy so I am happy for him. Just wish we were closer friends so I could be part of his celebration posse :P (He's a bridge player who went to college in Portland and played here back then. I played a couple of national events with him back in the day. And I've actually played a lot with his dad, too. But haven't been close with many bridge people since I basically quit playing in 2014...another reason it's bittersweet.)
I have a really cute kitten.
McKenzie and I had a sentimental/sweet discussion over email and I didn't cry.
Falcon Ridge is only a month (and change) away.
Lucy is at camp and I just sent her a letter and I think it will make her happy to read it :)
I had a carpet guy come to my house yesterday and give me an estimate for new carpet upstairs. I'm adulting. (Toby is helping.)
I've been working on a crafty project for a few weeks now and I'm almost finished and I'm really happy with how it's coming together. Photos when I'm done.
Archer got renewed for several more seasons. I hope they keep making that show forever.
