radegundIn an attempt to cheer myself up, here are 5 good things about my life:
1. This is the last day of my twenties. I've been looking forward to my thirties for ages. I anticipate a fun decade.
2. The RDS Knitting and Stitching Show starts tomorrow, and man, I'm there.
3. I appear to have a paying translation gig. I love translation.
4. Despite various statements to the contrary, I was seized by a fit of enthusiasm on Monday and started a NaNoWriMo novel. This is partly an exercise in wading bravely into an endeavour at which I am almost certain to fail ... but so far it's going really well.
5. My sister is coming home for a visit this weekend - it'll be really great to see her.
Nope, still not particularly cheery.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
