Hardships turning around

1) I mentioned a rough patch I was going through a few posts ago. That rough patch was threatening to drown me. I am, now, happy to report that I feel amazing.
2) This is going to sound like a strange good thing.. but I'm glad I only threw up once today!
3) I got 80 pages of reading done (homework)! I have another 40... but at least I'm 2/3rds there!
4) I had incredible sleep last night. I can't remember my dreams - just deep solid sleep.
5) I have funny stories from my students again - from today: A male student today was saying lipreading was easy. He offered to demonstrate and asked me to mouth something. Of course I went with "antidisestablishmentarianism" and he said I was cheating and the word was too long. So I went with "watermelon." He goes, "Women!" "Ha! Nope. Watermelon." "That's pretty much the same thing." "Women and watermelon!?" "Ya, they're both juicy." 0.o So there you go my female friends, from the mouths of children (don't want to say "babes" in this scenario... lol).
6) From yesterday: Delicious irony - my student wrote "Je suis supide ne pas." (Meaning to write "je ne suis pas sTupide.")
7) I have amazing supportive parents and a mom I've talked to a couple times this week on the phone.
8) A few of my students were fake fighting over me today. It feels good to be loved!
9) I tweaked and turned in a MASSIVE assignment (took me 18 hours to do it) tonight. SO good to have that off my back!
10) I received a kind anonymous compliment on this blog. Thank you whoever you are! You made my evening. ^ - ^

happiness quote: “Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne
