I heard today that price of tobacco rise and Juho finally talk to me about quitting smoking, I hope the price rise so much that he
really quit. I hate when he smoke and I don't want to loose him in lung cancer when we are 60 and start to enjoy our retirement days.
What about those 'E-cigarette' things - would that be better? It could be sort of a stepping stone to quitting. Andy smokes, too :dispirited:

... the universe decreed I must be :) Taking my daughter to the train this morning, I was feeling grumpy and stressed. Then, like a mirage (lol), right next to us on a teeny-tiny motorcycle was a guy in a homemade Batman outfit, complete with yellow duct-tape utility belt and bat ears duct taped to his helmet :D THEN at the train station I saw a tiny ancient man in a VanGogh-inspired Doctor Who T-shirt. His beard was dyed BRIGHT yellow :D How can you be grumpy after those two visions? Made me laugh so hard I almost hit a bicyclist. Now I'm feeling fresh as a daisy and ready to conquer the day :)

Glad I was able to cheer you up. :D

Hi everyone. :howdy:

My sister called last night an reminded me that Finders Keepers is available. All my money has been going in to crafting, so I decided to reserve the book from the library....I assumed it would be a long wait....usually I sign up before the book has been released.... Anyway, on the off-chance, I checked for an e-book. It's available to borrow in e-book. :clap: I know there's been some issue between the publisher and the library and I am so glad they've been resolved. Apparently not many people are bothering to check, because there is only one person ahead of me on the list. (I cannot see how many e-copies they have available, but I doubt it would be a huge amount.)

Anyway... I am happy.

1) My sweet puppy girl isn't in imminent danger
2) I found a granny button tin with a nice surprise at the bottom (see Ka-Tet Cantina 2--lol)
3) The Man got a nice little raise and DD#1 asked to have her cell phone bill transferred over to debit from her bank account instead of mine.
4) It was a beautiful day, spent almost entirely with DD#1. Not enough one-on-one time with her lately, so it was nice.
5) It's time to watch Better Off Dead with LilMan--grateful that he still likes spending time with his mom :)

I am happy because I just got a wedding invitation in the mail from a cousin. He busted his butt to put his first wife through school, then law school, with the understanding it would be his turn when she finished. She left him as soon as she was done with school and got a good job. So this makes me happy because he is such a kind, gentle soul. He deserves to be happy. :)

I haven't felt truly happy or content for a really long time, but this morning when I took one of my dogs out for a walk, we found the park to be completely frost-covered and it was just beautiful and the sun was strong and I felt myself smiling and it was good to breathe the cool fresh air.

I tried to draw my avatar in the frost and I almost got it completely done before this old guy caught me doing it, so I stopped. (The picture was big and I had to jump in and out of the middle of the smiley face, so I probably looked like a lunatic.)
