Ho hum.  I'm just having the most peaceful, productive day so far.  I love it.  Almost all of the laundry is done (he is going to wash his second load tomorrow).  The horse's stall is cleaned.  The dog is fed and watered and got to go play at the farm for a while.  The dishes are all done now.  Our bedroom is all nice and clean.  The desk that the guppy aquarium will go on is where it's supposed to be, ready and waiting.  Now we just have to switch aquariums.  I'm enjoying some quiet time for now though, as my dad decided to take a little nap first.  I kinda feel like taking a nap to be honest, but the way it usually works, as soon as I do, he'll be up and ready to go.  Or I'll fall asleep for three hours instead of fifteen minutes and drag ass the whole rest of the day. 

I'm hoping the aquarium switch goes well.  It has potential to be catastrophic, but only because my dad has been working pretty hard at over complicating the whole process.  It's sort of like this: 

I see the right way to do it, in oooh, say 10 steps.

He sees the right way to do it, in oooh let's say 25 steps.

So granted, it will get done one way or the other, which I'm happy about either way ... but with his way there will be so much more complication.  With those complications come possibilities for me to do something wrong and get bitched out, thus ruining my relaxed, bubbly attitude, or at least interrupting it.  So I'm just hoping it goes more smoothly than he's making it out to be.  I'm thinkin' if he doesn't get up in the next ten minutes I'm gonna go heat up my rice that I intend on having for lunch.

I'm pretty excited too because we have six hits on the Daytona we're selling.  Also, the pictures of it came out really nicely (for a cell phone) so I was happy about that.  At least the people won't be viewing some shitty picture, thus making the car look bad too.  One guy is supposed to come look at it Sunday.  He says he's got cash in hand, he loves the way the car looks, but he just wants to give it a once over in person, with his mechanic, first.  That would be fantastic.

I've noticed something too.  It seems like since the other day when I put my foot down again and went all 'I'm gonna succeed, I'm not gonna let you drag me down, I'm gonna be positive!' that things have been going great.  I mean yeah, not so great about finding out that I need to start worrying about my job instability, but that's besides the point.  I don't even want that to bring me down because the positive side of that is:  I now have new experience I didn't before, I'll be able to find another job, I'll have another chance somewhere else to gain experience, the job did give me money when I needed it.  But anyway, my examples of how things have just seemed so great since then.  I still lost weight the week of Thanksgiving.  We have serious hits on the Daytona and so that'll give us a little moolah to put in the 'Oh shit we don't have jobs' fund.  I've felt a lot better about things in general.  I've been getting a lot of stuff done.  I've been able to enjoy my relaxing times even more.  I got some more stuff for my horse from my friend who just sold her horses and didn't need the stuff anymore, thus saving me some money. So I need to stick with this positivity kick, it seems to do wonders for things going on around me.

Surprisingly enough also, my BIL has decided to remove the stick from his ass.  He started talking to my husband yesterday randomly.  After a while he ended up straight out asking if I had anything to do with it.  My husband explained that no, I didn't and that their dad was the one that put the go-ahead order on the locks.  So now he's not mad at us, he's mad at his dad.  That isn't anything to worry about, because he's nearly always mad at him for one thing or another and it'll fade away pretty quickly anyway.  So now I don't need to worry about him plotting some stupid revenge and doing anything I need to worry about.  Things have blown over finally.

Other than that, not a lot else going on in current events at the moment.  I'm just enjoying the peacefullness of it all.  I think this all just goes to show, positivity really does get you somewhere, you just have to take the time to realize it.  Although, I think sometimes that getting down and dreary just makes you appreciate things more when it does start going your way again.  However, I'd much rather just stay on the positive, peaceful, happy side of it all if I can.

    Positivity does put a whole twist in "its all in your mind" notion. I don't know how on point the book "The Secret" is but it did make sense that we attract the things in our lives that we think about, so its always essential to watch our thoughts.
     
    I too have noticed when I'm being positive even when something "shitty" happens, I take it in stride and it usually ends up resolving itself. When am in the dumps though it always feels like just one shitty thing will be the last straw that throws me over the edge.
     
    Thanks for the wonderful post...it did bring some sunshine into my day. :-)

    Frag - Heh, out of order, in order, only matters as long as you know what's going on, lol. 

    Queenie - I'm glad it's rubbing off ... we'll just bounce it back and forth off of each other for a while!

    cntlvmenuf - Yeah, I need to check out 'The Secret", I know about all the hooplah around it but still never got around to it.  It does make a difference though, but also perhaps because you tend to see all the good stuff when you're already in a "glass half full" state of mind whereas when you're in that "half empty" state you don't see the good stuff, you're consumed by the bad stuff and it's hard to see the other.  I'm just gonna try to keep my glass half full ... or hell, why not 3/4 full, maybe even just FULL!  Glad you liked the post and it brought you a little sunshine.
