Things that have made me happy, since I've been really sort of out of it lately due to stress, lack of sleep and more stress:

1. I finished reading The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett the other day; it's one of those books that I randomly found in a bookstore and thought the premise looked interesting but okay - I hadn't purchased any books so my book budget was untouched and I bought it on a whim. I love this book so much I can't even really begin to talk about it. I might try, later, but this book was an utter delight.

2. I came home to four packages today. Three were books from Paperbackswap and the other was a purchase; I got:

     a. Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in the hopes that using this will mean I don't have to reapply my eyeshadow a million times a day.
     b. And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander
     c. The Light Ages by Ian R. MacLeod
     d. Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold (because Lauren was right and I adored The Curse of Chalion)

3. I spent $39 at the grocery store for my weekly run instead of the $75 that I thought and budgeted for.

4. I had the best chicken salad sandwich today for lunch. And a slice of cheesecake. And I didn't purchase either one of those, they came from home.

5. And my friends and family who have put up with me thus far.
