No post on Saturdays?

Alas, for the first time since I started this blog, not even a week ago, I did not post yesterday. This makes me sad. This probably makes you sad as well, but that presupposes anyone is reading this.

Anyway, the main reason for me not posting yesterday was due to me being sick. I was sick to the point where I left work early on Saturday morning, and did not go in again last night. I had a massive headache, hot flashes and fluctuations of my temperature, and felt nauseous and dizzy at times. All in all, not a fun day.

But today has been nice. I did quite a lot of shoveling to get my parking space clear, plus did some shoveling for my roommates so they could have better access to their cars without getting too much snow on their shoes. I just got a nice early Christmas present from the Valley I crew, and it was the seasons 13 & 14 guide to The Simpsons! I have been somewhat of an honorary member of that witnessing community to some degree, since I have been invited to partake of game and movie nights and such. I just wish I had known so I could have done something special for them. But would that really honor them? Isn't part of the joy of gifts being able to accept a gift without worrying about giving something back? I am really happy about this gift. I have done things for members of Valley I, like give rides to church and such. In a way, it could be like this is their way of repaying me for my kindness.

To add to my happiness, I received word from two of my friends today that they have read my story more or less to completion and both of them enjoyed it very much. It is good to hear whatever people think, but it's especially exciting to hear that some people liked it. I made people laugh! I'm so happy!

So now I relax, wait for the oven to heat and enjoy some staple. It's going to be a good a good night to top off this good day.
