I'm happy today because...

Christmas weekend!

I’m listening to my partner geek out with her son, who is visiting for a couple of days, and it brings me joy.

I was able to get all my stuff done today. Don't, technically, have to go out again till Sunday either.

Might curl up and read the book or, maybe, I'll try and get myself in the mood to watch a Christmas movie!

Kind of sad today but excited to be able to give the kid's their gifts soon!

Today is going to be a good day, so that makes me happy.

One day closer to Christmas and being able to give the kids their gifts!

Also, one day closer to the day I get to watch my Brother's puppy for a few days. She is precious and I am hoping she won't be AS annoying as my boyfriend's parents dogs are.

Was able to get a decent amount of sleep. Going to have a nice meal tonight as well

It is Christmas and I am excited to spend time with my boyfriend, my nieces and nephew and some of my family.

It was a nice day and my parents didn't fight. I'm not sure if it's because of today being Christmas, but it's nice.

I'm off on the day that's supposed to be super cold. I'm imagining curling up with potstickers and chowmein noodles

Dog sitting for a family member.
Their dog is absolutely precious. She is curious and wants to play with my cats. The cats aren't certain what to do with her because the other dogs we watch don't want to play but do like to bark at them.

This round is off to a good start.

I found some Wasabi Flavor sunflower seeds and they are good.
I also received one of my packages that I got with the gift cards from Christmas!

well i was telling my mum how there is never enough space to put everything in and on christmas day, she got me a stack of plastic drawers, so now i have something else to put things in and don't need to have a bunch of stuff out on my bedroom floor. It felt great.

It's Thursday and that means it's one day closer to the weekend and I'm quite excited about the activities I have for Friday and Saturday!

I'm meeting up with S today its gonna be awesome!

[matthewmatters]

they sorted out my hair and it's a really nice new look I felt good to see

I ran further than I ever have, and even though it really isn’t that far, I’m amazed that I could do that much. And I want to run more, but not in the compulsive, anorexic state of mind that keeps me at the gym for hours at the time. I want to run more because I’m thankful for my body that can run like that. I’m thankful for my body. I’m proud of my body. What? I haven’t said anything like that in - y e a r s - but running is helping me say that. Maybe running isn’t the greatest thing for me to do because I do have an eating disorder, but if it improves my confidence, why not? I’ll at least keep running until I get back into therapy. I’ll talk to my therapist about it and she can help me determine if it’s healthy or not for me.

I don't have to work tomorrow, so I can sleep in really really late.

One of my last packages of the year arrives today

[Everglow.]

The girl my best friend is seeing is super lovely and regardless of my own insecurities, she's treating her so well and that makes me really really happy.

Get to hang out with friends and have a nice dinner.
This will be a great way to spend one of the last day of the year.

3 days off in a row for the first time since I was hired.

My package should be coming today!

I was taking more pictures and that makes me happy.

I made it through my anxiety last night and am feeling slightly better today.

Because it's a brand New Year!

[matthewmatters]

i went to see my sister and brother in law at their place, so it was a change of surroundings for today and the meal their did was that nice I actually finished every bit.

I got to spend the New Year with good friends and I got to kiss both of my girls at midnight.

I received two of my packages. I only have one or two more coming.
I passed another test. Means I'll have another interview at some point. Exciting but scary. I have to perfect everything.

(also calling a supervisor about my counselor because I haven't really heard from him since middle of September. He only kind of messaged me when I said I was gonna complain)

My friend is back home after being gone for twelve days.

Would make a PP reference, but she hates drugs. #ameliashepherdftw

I am really happy that I passed another test. One step closer to my goal

Today was a nice day, my sister and I went shopping

I got the score and I did well. Not as well as I needed to but well enough that I could get called in at one point.

[matthewmatters]

so 99 percent of the people who i go up to to talk to are female (other males is a new thing in that way for me) but i did see two boys who i liked the look of and brought myself to talk to one so very glad i did

Got another interview scheduled and I believe there might have been a few more opening with this position than the last one.

I also imagine that this department needs people often as well.

I ate three meals today. Granted, none of them are large and I’m struggling through dinner, but I’ve eaten today. I know I have to eat more to compensate for the run (that I know I shouldn’t have taken, but the voice wouldn’t shut up until I did), but I’m eating. That’s progress?

[Everglow.]

I saw my friends and we went into some shops and messed around for a while, and now I'm home and I have cheese and pickle!

It took me over four months, but I finally finished the book I was reading. I haven’t read a book for enjoyment in so long, and with how much my EDhas impacted my cognitive abilities, I’m proud of myself for finally getting through this one.

I got a fair few of my chores done so I should have the rest of the weekend to do things I enjoy such as read and watch television/movies

I never figured out what this feeling is, but I know it's good and I haven't felt it in years!
