#100HappyDays: Days 9 – 16

day 9

Day 9: When I moved into my new place at the beginning of #2015wasashittyyear last year, my dog had to go live with my sister. While I am really grateful and happy that Nicci Noodle got to go to a safe and happy environment and be with people that love her, I still miss her snuggly warmth every day. I got to spend some time with her recently and that made me really happy. I’ve also been kind of obsessed with block heels since they came back at the end of last year. They are great – you can actually work in them because they provide support for your feet, and they look uber cool – I feel like I can do anything when I wear them. I saw this pair in the shops but they didn’t have my size, and when even the online store for the retailer didn’t list them anymore I wrote it down as bad luck. So when I found them in another branch, my happy cup filled over and I was dancing (at least in my head) in the shop.

Day 10: Started watching Homeland Season 5 – oh goodness, what a crazy great and intense season! Also did nails in a gorgeous new color and continued with my adult coloring book.

day 11

Day 11: This sassy little book bag gave me such joy when I bought it.

day 12

Day 12: I’m busy reading this incredible book from Elizabeth Gilbert – Big Magic. It is everything I want in a book that wants to be self-helping. I am having such a great time. The woman is sensational and I just want to be like her when I grow up.

Day 13: Johannesburg was being lovely

day 14

Day 14: Had some delicious meals throughout the day and updated blog’s look as well.

Day 15: These Paris prints in my room makes me so happy. Motivation and reminders of what I want to do in my life.

day 16

Day 16: I’m doing really well with the no-sugar thing so far. However, with amazing cappuccino I don’t even think about sugar. How amazing is that?!

What made you happy this week?

 

 

Birthdays, things that can go wrong, and thank heavens it is nearly weekend.

First of all, to my best friend, Zoë: Congratualations for making our digits the same again – Happy birthday friend! I hope you have a fantastic day.

My apologies for not posting yesterday – technology is revolting against me again. Things that broke (and that is busy breaking): my computer here at work broke, and on it is 5 years of sample processing data. and the back-ups misteriously didn’t back up. So please keep all fingers crossed that they manage to restore all the data on there – I am trying not to think of the consequences.

Secondly, my BlackBerry is breaking. I will NEVER get a BB again. EVER.

And the freezer I keep in all my samples at work is acting up, the Liquid Nitrogen isn’t being delivered, and I am freaking at the possibility that I may lose a years worth of samples.

And I can’t be on leave tomorrow. Go figure.

Obviously things are not working out today.

A (short list of things that went right)

* I lost a kg.

* I got stock I needed.

* I can still be on leave next week for a few days.

PS: Send me some awesomely funny sites to cheer me up.

PPS: I am sorry for any spelling mistakes – my spellchecker isn’t working on the temporary PC I am typing on.
