1,2,3 Go!
Ok, Happy Post, Go!
* I have a job and it pays enough that we don't starve, freeze, melt, explode, or disintegrate.
* Everyone in my family is healthier than not.
* I'm learning to cook using whatever is already in my house, without buying any additional ingredients. This may not seem all that great, but! I am not a very good cook to begin with, so I generally follow recipes. Lots of recipes call for ingredients that I don't necessarily have - but I'm learning how to just put stuff together and eat it.
* The cats are all darlings. Happy, healthy, silly, and constantly all over me for attention.
* We signed another year-long lease. I really like living in this house and in this town, so that's good. Also it's awesome to know that you don't have to hunt for a new apt, pack up all your shit, move your shit, and then unpack it all -- anytime in the near future.
(Speaking of which: I know that there are people I know who are moving. Please drop me a line if you need help. I will try, work schedule permitting, to help in some way.)
* The rent did not go up. I was really dreading some increase in the rent, but our landlord didn't bring it up at all. Hoo-ray.

"...really dreading some increase in the rent, but our landlord didn't bring it up at all. Hoo-ray."
Our own landlord nearly always increases it near the holidays or at the beginning of the year, but his time, not a peep.
Hoo-ray indeed! :)
Guess maybe he realized that most rents are going down these days, not up.
BTW: Happy birthday! Happy day, happy personal new year!
Seems I hadn't caught any of your recent posts in a while; now that I read them I'm sorry not to have commented. Especially about the feelling alone, and money being so tight all the time, and considering a night-shift (I hope you don't, though. My last job was graveyard, and I'm still paying for the havoc it wrought on my bio-clock, my personal life, and my outlook in general.)
Now, seeing this post, I'm feeling happy for you, and relieved.. Warmth and stability make a big difference, eh? :D
