And now on a HAPPY Note...

[RetroLounge]

I had the best day yet in the bookstore today!

Best day in terms of total $ales.

Best day in terms of number of books sold.

Largest one-person purchase (33 books sold to one woman. I love her...).

and a cute customer brought me a Starbucks Caramel Machiatto just because. :D

See, it's not ALL doom and gloom in my life.

I just gotta keep remembering that.

:hug: to the lounge!

4. Oh, that's great, my dear Retro!

That is really good news...

And not just touchy-feely stuff, though there's nothing wrong with that, of course...

But the good economic news that pays the bills and keeps you safe and warm...

I'm so damn happy for you, my dear friend!

8. It has come to my attention that even when I do not have all that I want

I always have all that I need... and I always have more love and support than anyone could ask for.

So... life is pretty good.

[RetroLounge]

9. Yes. It really is pretty good...

19. YaY!

Hey-- depending on how long it takes us to sell our place, we have an extra bed we could just GIVE you. It's a queen size platform bed.

If we do okay selling, within a month or so, I could get reprehensor to bring it up with him when he comes. We'd be happy to do it, since we wanted to replace the bed in our guest room for awhile, and we won't have a guest room in our current place, so it would just get wrapped up and stashed in the basement. I'd rather see somebody using it!
