What's making you happy today?

My grandma did great in surgery yesterday.
My FIL will most likely be out of the hospital today.
And and and!! We were approved for an additional mortgage on the house. My husband purchased the house he grew up in, and it's paid off. However, the last time the kitchen was updated was 1980. The kitchen is literally as old as I am. No bueno. The entire house needs to be redone inside and out. So, we' have $150,000 coming soon so complete renovations can begin!!! Up until now, we've been doing all the renovations completely out of pocket. I'm so freaking excited!
Now you go.

Re: What's making you happy today?
I am happy it's above freezing today so more snow will melt. That's all I got.
@climbingwife - how awesome to be renovating!
I am happy that my son received his acceptance letter from Michigan Technical University. He starts in the Fall and will be studying Forestry!!
And..one of my coworker gave me chocolate as soon as I got here.
I am insanely jealous.......but happy that you can enjoy it.
Wooo that's great to hear about your grandma!! And the house, holy crap I don't even know what I could do with that much money...my entire house is worth that much, like literally if it burned down that's what it would be to rebuild it. So to have all that just on renovating is insane, and will be super top of the line!
I'm excited because my house hit market today! The realtor had a pro photographer over who used lighting and wide angle lense and the pictures look fantastic! I look at listings where the people just took their own pictures and it's dark and there's crap on the counter and stuff. Then I look at mine and I'm like fuck these look good hahah
My cat that was sick followed me downstairs today and started digging into the regular cat food - this makes me happy, since she was so sick and has lost so much weight. She's got her follow up Saturday with the vet, hopefully it'll be the all-clear.
I'm down 9 pounds doing the weight loss challenge at the fitness center at work. It ends with the final weigh in next week, so I'm hoping to make it an even 10 (if not more).
I hammered out dates with FI last night about when my last day at work here will be, we decided on June 18. That means only 3.5 more months of this miserable place, and I should be able to have all my credit cards paid off by the end of May so it'll be all kinds of fresh starts for me when we move.
And, our wine barrel that we're going to use for our card box is supposed to be delivered today!
So yay! Weekend jaunt to Vancouver in the spring for a favorite cousins wedding!
I'm happy because my meeting for today got cancelled, but most importantly THIS WEEKEND H AND I MOVE INTO OUR NEW HOUSE!! Can't freaking wait!
Our snow is starting to melt! We don't have sidewalks and the streets have basically shrunk since we have so much damn snow so I've been walking on our treadmill but it's not the same as walking or running outside.
Also we're going to look at a house tomorrow! It's everything that we want and in the perfect location. It's been on the market since June so I'm interested in finding out why that is.
My life's depressing and sad at the moment so these little wins feel pretty fucking great:
1. I went to a funeral in TX last week that was tough. But the good thing is I bought a pair of wonderful cowboy boots that I'm in love with. They're brown and pink and have a rounded toe. Super-comfy, adorable, and not terrible in snow and ice.
2. The Kid's shrink has worked some sort of miracle and he's suddenly being less of an asshole. As in he came home from counseling and suddenly had a 80% change of heart. I have no idea what happened but I no longer dread coming home.
3. MIL's out of the hospital. Cancer sucks and she's not handling her chemo well. Things are not going well but it's good to have her surrounded by family rather than in a hospital room. We're considering this to be a win.
4. My birthday is Friday. No plans for that day but we're going out for dinner Saturday night at a restaurant that I love. My plan was to do nothing but sleep and watch bad movies during the day but it looks like I have to work during the day. But still, I get a yummy dinner. And DH will be the DD so I can drink too much sangria. Yea!
