I hadn't heard from God in over a month, but he spoke to me today.

by **Atheris** » Sun Jul 26, 2020 7:49 pm

Halfway through one of the largest chapters of my most recent fanfic thus far - plus, the author to one of my favorite fics is updating again tomorrow! Next week's turning out to be pretty good.

And did God say good things?

Yes, otherwise it wouldn't belong in this thread. He reminded me of why I should persevere in my faith.

Also, this is old but good.

My back and legs are absolutely killing me right now, but I got a fuckton of shinies for my efforts. ^_^

Now the question is can I do it again tomorrow for day 2?

Yes.

Go forth and virtually collect them all!

I did, which may have been a mistake since I basically packed the same amount of walking I do in almost two weeks into two days this weekend. :lol2:

Depending on how crippled I am in the morning I may be using some of my sick time.

And it was worth it! More shinies! Shadow Mewtwo! Victini! All miiiiine! :lol2:

Well done! I walked 45k extra this week and I totally forgot to catch any pokemon... but the children will receive their "walking medal" so yay! Shinies.

Yay!

I've had weekends like that, but they usually involve mountains and backpacks.

You didn't like them, but now you have had your revenge, you do like them?

Nope, I still hate their guts.
But it did make me very happy to see them discredited, so there is that.

Also I got a model train collection, which made me happy.

Today my kitten walked up while I was sitting on my bed, jumped on, an pushed himself under the covers and snuggled up next to my leg.

*Message deleted*, but I'm happy! So, there's that.

You got a problem with people fucking cursing? That shit's fine so long as it's not being used to flame/troll/etc.

Gimme a sec, I'll go dig up an obscenity-laced official mod post I did ages ago for folks to giggle at. :lol2:

Let's see... Reppy swears while issuing a warning, Reppy swears while issuing a different warning, (further explained here,) oh wow, I forgot about this silly piece of fucking 'math', and old Bastard NS Mod from Hell story along similar lines- :rofl:

Okay, searching the forums for posts I made containing the word "fucking" was entirely more amusing than it should be. :lol2:

And more on the topic of "happy stuff", I'm still basking in the glow of massive warm fuzzies after a birthday surprise plot at work was a downright resounding success today.

I bought myself some ramekins and I’ve been experimenting making mini-foods, to good success. Chocolate lava cake and a mini chicken pot pie! Who knows what’s next. :3

Science!

But I am charmed by the tiny Mars helicopter (areopter?) sent with the rover. I don't know why, I just am.

Finished my novel after 8 years recently, and all of the editors I've approached have loved it very much. Been a nice feeling to know I was actually writing something nice all of that time.
