Looking on the bright side

Well, it's been a pretty tough few days, but it's not like there haven't been high points.
For example, I came in last night to discover a card from the postman telling me I had a parcel to pick up. Which was sort of surprising as my last Amazon package had already arrived and it's not like it's my birthday around now, or anything. I stopped off at the sorting office this morning to discover that alobear and cholten99 had sent me a dozen vegan chocolate cheesecake brownies, all the way from London. Seriously, you guys, I was so touched, I can't say. I may have got a little weepy.
Just ♥ really.

Currently, I feel like, given the opportunity, I'd hug them, along with corone and lareinemisere, and never let go. But that's probably not a great idea, cos I'm somewhat emotional right now, and I'd probably start crying, and if I did that I'd never stop.

Other high points: earlier in the week, my copies of the new edition of Tanith Lee's Night's Master (yay, it's back in print, at least for the moment. Buy it; it's fabulous) arrived from Amazon



along with the boxed set of Melissa de la Cruz's Blue Bloods series, which I'm reliably informed is basically Gossip Girl does vampires, which had me sold there and then :D





And finally, a huge hug and a thank you to everyone who's helped (even if it's just been with nice comments) to make this week a little less awful. Cheers, you guys :)

Things will be a bit hectic for the next week or so and then they'll start calming down again, thankfully.

♥ all

So sorry to hear about your bad times. I can't bake and I imagine anything I'd send would be somewhat brick-like when it finally made it over. So all I can send is hugs from Boston. Feel better and read some Blue Bloods - there's nothing like a cracky novel to cheer one up.

Thank you ♥ Hugs are always welcome :)
I have a funeral to attend at the end of next week and then things can start getting back to normal, which will be a huge relief.

I've just started on Blue Bloods and I'm hooked already. Have you read it yet? It's really rather fabulous :)

Everyone needs cake! I just hope they taste as nice as they looked on the website. :o)

I can't take any credit for this at all, though, you know - it was entirely Dave's idea and he managed the whole thing as well. I just wholeheartedly agreed with the concept - who knew a simple Google search would turn up a woman who does mail orders of vegan cake and lives within a couple of miles of us?

Enjoy!

They were ridiculously yummy :) (I haven't eaten them all myself though; I'd probably have put on a stone if I'd eaten the whole dozen).

Give Dave a hug for me, and get him to give you one for agreeing :D

Hugs given and received as ordered! :o)
