One of those random good days.

Today started out pretty shitty for me. I woke up exhausted from not sleeping well last night and had menstrual cramps to top it off. Work didn't really go well, the day dragged on forever, it wasn't fun. Then my boyfriend told me that he got called off work tonight for lack of stuff to do, which is shitty for him and his paycheck of course, but it meant that we could Skype and I'd get to see his handsome face again, so that brightened my day a bit. Then after coming home and chilling on Facebook for a bit, a friend of mine responded to a request I had made for an iPod (I've never had one and always wanted one, but I can't afford one, so I was trying to buy a used one off someone for a decent price.) She has a 32g iPod touch that she's going to GIVE me for free, including a case and armband to wear when I'm at the gym. She's going to keep all her music on it so I can just delete what I don't want and keep what I want. She's also keeping all her apps on there. Then a bit later, I'm talking to another friend on Facebook about the crappy built-in heart rate monitors on the stationary bikes at the gym, and she lets me know that she has one she can give me for free. She only used it a few times and bought a newer better one that's designed for the specific gym she goes to. It also counts calories. Our kids go to school together, so she's sending it in with her daughter tomorrow and she'll give it to my son to bring home with him. Win! Now just a few minutes ago, I get a friend request from someone I didn't know... until I looked a little closer. He's using a fake name on Facebook for whatever reason (I'm going to assume his crazy family) but the friend request was from my ex-boyfriend Peter... my first love from when I was 16 years old. I haven't spoken to him in years, but we've always remained friends and always stayed in each others thoughts when we weren't actively talking to one another. The fact that we were each others first loves has always bonded us, even though those romantic feelings have long since gone. I'll always care about him, and him me. So that brought a smile to my face, I'm glad to see that he's alive and kicking and doing well. To top off the evening, I was on Skype for nearly 6 hours with my beloved boyfriend. I can't get enough of his deep, rough sexy voice, contagious laugh, beautiful lips and smile, curly mop of hair, and bad-boy beard. :tongue:

Despite the crappy 8 hours I had to spend at work, today was a good day. :biggrin: I'm taken aback at the generosity of my friends, and am definitely looking for ways to pay it forward.
