1.) Hehheeh, flagged up by HR that my visa is due for renewal.   Yes, it is!  Almost 5 years here! Whee! That made me smile to get that email, because although I know its true and I've got all the dates on the calendar, that made it feel real and I'm getting close to being able to get ILR! (Fingers crossed!!) Yay!    ;D ;D

2.)  Nailed a presentation earlier today! Yay, love when that happens!
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

1.) I worked out for 84 minutes today. I am really trying to lose some weight. I'm not huge but I'm a bit chubby and the fat doesn't stand a chance! It is not welcome here! I will banish it with moving around. >:C

2.) I studied some of my math I'm having issue with, slowly getting better. Teacher says I'm soooo close to being done, what a freaking tease!

1. It's quiet at work right now and I really hope it stays that way for the rest of the afternoon!

2. Sun...It's freezing outside, but at least the sun is shining!

1. Two days in a row off work.

2. We have our old bed set up again. Mom kept it stored for us while we were in the UK. It is a California King with a pillow top mattress. Bliss.

I have more than two things, but they're all politics-related.

1. OBAMA!
2. Net gain for Dems in the Senate (including a record number of women!)
3. Gay marriage wins at the ballot box for the first, second, third and fourth time ever (!!!)
4. Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin and Richard "Something God Intended" Murdock both lost
5. First openly gay Senator elected
6. NY State Senate went to a Democratic majority
7. I have absolutely nothing major to be upset about as a result of this election!

And Baldwin's replacement in the House of Representatives (Mark Pocan) is also openly gay. Definitely more good news for LGBT community.  :)
