Little Pieces of Sunshine

I have my car back. My sweet, precious, blessed little car, who has done so much for me, who I thought was dead, has finally returned to me none the worse for wear. Bless the people at the Saturn dealership and their attached body shop, because I could have sworn that there was a hole right through the passenger door, and that she couldn't move, and that I would never see her again. The snazzy red rental car was shiny and new and fun to drive, but I'll never love anything quite like I love *my* car. She's comfortable and lovely and I know her inside and out and she's just... mine.

Work may be slow at the moment, but things are at least filling up for next year. And a clinic I worked at once almost a year ago just specifically requested me to cover for two weeks in February - it seems I made a good impression, or something. And since it's a sweet little clinic in a nice area that practices really good medicine, I'm more than happy to oblige.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is re-releasing Snake Charmer. This is the scent that was made for me. Something about it just works with my body chemistry, to the point that when I wear it I've been accused of distracting people, conversations, and entire scenes in a LARP by smelling too good. I have been hoarding my one bottle, doling it out one precious drop at a time, for special occasions only, lamenting the fact that it was finite. Now all I need to do is convince myself that one more bottle will be enough....

A very nice lady at the grocery yesterday gave me a $5 coupon, just because. She couldn't use it for her purchase, so he handed it off to me. Small kindnesses like that just make my day.

I have a friend coming over to spend the day crafting, and homemade peanut butter cookies, and yoga class tonight.

All is good.....
