having a much better day.

I ... got my car back. And will survive til pay day. Which is more exciting because budget got passed and we got a raise! *cheers* a desperately needed raise in fact

I ... went to the fancy-schmancy hospital party on Saturday and drank wine and ate food and went out afterwards with some cool folks and played darts and drank beer and had an honest to goodness fricken night out. It's been weeks. It, too, was desperately needed.

I ... got chocolate! (and if that isn't just a highlight of life, I don't know what else is ...)

I ... understood lecture in class tonight (first time in the new quarter).

I ... figured out how to access my email through my control panel even though the domain is gone! Damn. I'm the most ig'nant webbie out there, but I figured it out! Not getting LJ notifications, but dang. I still feel cool.

I ... figured out how to burn programs from Bob the tivo to my DVR, so I can burn Sarah Conner Chronicles and the Masterpiece theater Austen series I'm addicted to, and take them to pet sitting houses and get my fix.

Okay, maybe not the most impressive list ever, but damn. Life is looking so much better today. And it's Monday! Maybe tomorrow will be even better!

Oh, sweet optimism. I missed you so ...

UPS just stopped by and dropped off my new TIVO! Huzzah! The downside of being so awfully sick for a week is time spent shopping for goods online that I never have time to think about buying. A cool gift for my Mom's birthday this friday, a new digital camera (my first one evah!) and now, this shiny-evil-enabling machine.

Somehow, it makes the pain of my truly awful chem exam last night a bit more bearable.

So, anybody/everybody ...


what should I TIVO?
