It's not just my wallet I'm pleased with...most things seem to be coming up trumps around me at the moment: the illness that had been threatening since before Warpcon finally hit me full force, and after a week's bed rest, now it's over and done with (*fingers crossed*) and I feel a lot more energetic and healthy!
My college course, after much deliberation, has now been sorted out, so I now know what I'm doing until the end of my MSc, have laid out some plans of what I want to get done for it, and then I can go do whatever it may be that I decide (and get in to, of course).
My appetite appears to be returning (I do hope it's not going through the whole routine of lulling me into a sense of security and then disappearing again!)
I'm writing and drawing a lot, and it's been in awhile since I was in a mood where I had creativity flowing, as well as being able to actually get myself to sit down and do something with it...and enjoy it too!
I'm getting so much work done, and having time to relax in between! It's fantastic...

I hope this lasts long enough to get me to do some driving practice! I'll have a car in less than a week, though I'll have to get insurance...and I'm currently looking forward to learning! Though I'll need a *lot* of practice!


This morning, when I was waiting for the Exams and Records Office to open, so that I could get a new Student Card, I ran with the urge of wanting to sit on one of the really big broad stone windowsills we have in college, and read a book in the sun (Declare by Tim Powers, thanks to mytholder ). Quite a few people wandered past, a few looking enviously and one even saying to me that she wished she was able to do that! It was majorly relaxing...and a really great start to the morning!

I hope things continue like this for awhile...
