For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

Is it sad that I can't think of anything that's made me happy yet today? Lately I've been swinging back and forth from upbeat, happy moods to bummed out, depressed ones, and I'm right in the middle of a down stroke at the moment.

Professionally, I guess I'm happy that the trial I was supposed to have this afternoon in St. John's, which turned into an Application to have it postponed, further transmogrified into the Crown withdrawing all of the charges against my client, so there's that. I get to bill out and close one file, though there are many, many left to look at of course. Personally... no, wait, I did have an e-mail from believeitup waiting for me when I got to work today, so that counts. Other than that, it's slim pickings, sadly.

I just want to go home and crash, or just lounge around, or something, anything than be here at the office. I'll probably end up getting home and getting on LOTRO to find my fiancée and stay there until it's way too late and time to sleep. Ugh, I need to do my Christmas cards too, some of them may arrive late now even if I miraculously get them done tonight and mail them tomorrow. I remember a not too distant time when I used to love doing cards, I'd send out 60-70+, and would sit down at the end of November doing them up, writing personal messages to all my friends and thinking back on memories of them all. Now I can't even get out the maybe dozen cards for people I have addresses for, the ones that responded to me asking for addys. What the hell happened in that span of time? I have no idea.

Oh, right, tags, hmm. Most of my flist has already been named, but I'll try to find some more. How about... avalonmissy, lethendy, _chibiko_, happy_melody, ms_firecracker, scifispice80, shinyandnat, and thoughtthestars. Apologies if you've already done it / been tagged, but I'm at work and/or too lazy to check, heh.

[eta] Ugh, sorry for getting emo all over your LJs, guys and gals. I'm better now, promise. And to make up for it, I'll add a few more things that've made me happy today.

· Getting to Court in St. John's and seeing the judge there today wasn't the normal #2 judge but the regular one from the Provincial Court out here, Judge Flynn, who is awesome and amazing. And he called my matter first, even though a prominent (and much more senior) criminal defense lawyer was present, heh. Annnnd in front of the audience and all the other lawyers I had all charges against my client dropped with the Crown backpeddling about how it had no case. Yeah, that's right, I'm that good. Spread the word, y'all.
· Since mom was in the city all day, she had no supper ready and asked me to pick up take out, which I'm eating as I type. Yeah, not healthy, I know, but it makes mah tummeh happeh.
· Listening to the awesome Vampire Weekend cd like 5 times (it's only ~30 mins. long) while driving in, around, and out of St. John's. Much, much love for this band.
· Last but not least (never, ever least), after writing this sucktastic entry and being left alone in the office and feeling like crap, I called my lovely fiancée and she, as usual, cheered me up immensely. Thank you, hon. ♥

Speaking of believeitup, she made her 2,500th entry today, so you should all go and congratulate her and tell her how awesome she is! :D
