I'm calling a Good News alert.
It looks like the sun might come out again sometime this millenia.
I finished a test plan and have my test environment ready, so I can blow off the rest of the day.

I ate good Indian food for lunch.
I get to leave work and go pick up my great kid now.

I had another thing! I am about to go to the post office to a) mail Nicole the last few eps of BSG that are long overdue to her and b) mail a box containing 40 things that start with 'L' to my friend Laurel for her 40th birthday. I hope she finds the present as funny to receive as I did to put together.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tell me your good news. Even if it's just a very yummy lunch. Need to hear about happiness.
I just spent a week drinking rum drinks on a beach Puerto Rico while my family kept the kids--and my husband's employer is picking up most of the bill.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Cash wins. Though I am TOTALLY stealing lisah's 40th birthday present idea, which is brill.

To give credit where due I had the idea to send her 40 of something and another (genius) friend suggested things that start with L. There are so many options! But it was a challenge because I had to keep the price as low as possible. Most things were $3 and under though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have just been informed that Ninja Gibbons will be dispatched take care of those nasty monkey-killing bears.
In good news slightly more, ah, realistic or relevant to myself? I'm too zoned to think of any.

You don't have Sloth bears waiting for you in your apartment.

I think those bears misunderstand the whole meaning of "sloth."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was expecting to have to eat my decent, but kind of routine, Trader Joe's frozen meal for lunch, but then I went to the kitchen to heat it up, there was yummy free food there I could have instead.
