Bright little spots

[superbadgirl]

Today's paper listed six job openings. Three were for crabbing, one was for accounting at a skill level higher than I have or want to have and two for waitstaff. Happy holidays! I'm reminding myself that this is not and has never been the most wonderful time of the year as far as job hunting goes. Still, it's a bit of a downer.

Today's also the two year anniversary of my bringing Johnny and Roy into my home. John has spent the last hour giving the gulls flying around the what-for and being generally adorbs.

Also, the UPS man came and delivered a package! I hadn't ordered anything, so I was confused. Turns out a little birdy sent me a package filled with owl magnets and owl measuring cups and an owl bookmark, because, yes, I'm old school with my reading habits.

See:





THANK YOU, LITTLE BIRDY, THIS DID CHEER ME UP!

Also, it pretended to snow today. It did for about five minutes, but after that it was mostly frozen rain.



Still finding myself in a bit of a depressive state, but it should pass. Maybe when next week's festivities are over, because for some (alas, many), there is little merrymaking to be done. I'm an old lady, but I still wanted a hug on Christmas from my mother and father. And this year, the family gathering happens on my birthday, so it's kind of a double whammy for me.

*hugs you damned hard*

Those owls are adorable. Happy cat anniversary!!

So sorry you can't go home for Christmas...

Things will pick up, I know they will. I had a lot of interest at first, so I gotta hope more places will hire once the holidays are over. Or, I'll have to try my hand at being a food server. Aie.

The owls are pretty cute in deed, and thank you re: cats and home. It'll be fine, but it's hard to get into the spirit, for sure.

Oh, and thank you for the card!

Little birdy really hopes you like owls like she thought or this was really random ;-) I'm glad it cheered you up.

You know I don't think you're ever too old to want hugs from the people you love.

LOL, I like them well enough to permanently ink one into my skin. :D All the stuff was so cute and so unexpected. Thank you!

I don't get enough hugs, period, though I suppose you might count cats cuddling on my lap a hug? I got both of 'em on me right now.

Oh, I'd forgotten that! I just remember seeing a picture of some owl plates in your kitchen. I was trying to find something to cheer you up and I kept finding all these cute owl things!

Yep, kitties cuddling in your lap is definitely a hug!
