Today is a good day. This morning, I did the impossible. I scratched off three bunches of cherries on a Hannaford scratch ticket. Although I only won a dollar (I don't believe that there are any tickets out there where you win more than a dollar, this stupid game is such a waste of paper) I still yelled outloud and called my mom at work, Jackie, and Michael on the phone to tell them. Half of the time I try not to scratch them because it just makes me mad when I lose every single time, but I can't help it. I mean, like the game says, I could win up to $10,000. Which is crap. Anyway, setting aside the love/hate relationship I have with the Hannaford scratch off game, I won. Now I can go to the store and get a few yogurts for free. Because I am a winner. I knew it would be a good day today.
Shortly after this success, I got a call from Michael. He talked to the boat movers, and we are moving the boat next Tuesday at 1:30. Even better, was that the cost was within our price range. This is really happening! Tuesday the 7th, the boat will be in the woods, and one week and one day later both Michael and I will be up there for good. For the time being, we'll be working like crazy to save some extra money. I am in a sort of happy limbo between my parents house and Michael's. It feels good to be home, good to not be paying rent, and good to have food in the refrigerator. I swear there is more food in the house then when I lived here but my dad thinks it's just because there was barely any in my apartment. He could be right.
Anyway, back to the goodness of today. I just made the best cup of coffee I have ever had, my car is clean for the first time in 2 years, and my laundry is almost dry. For the past week or so, I have been in dire need of clean laundry. I've been wearing the underwear that I hate but keep for times when I am running low. So in about an hour, I will be showered and clothed with whatever I choose from my entire wardrobe(which isn't very big, but whatever) all amped up on this delicious cup of coffee, one dollar richer after collecting my bounty from Hannaford, driving back to my old apartment in my sparkling clean car to bid the last chapter of my life farewell. Today is a good day.
