Happy Sunday, My Darlings!

So how are you doing this week?  Anything super-fun going on with you? :spring5

This week, I AM HAPPY that Mr. Handyman was able to fix the bedside lamp I gave him to work on.  I really wasn’t sure it was salvagable—it worked fine, but the base was a mess & the lamp kept falling over.  But Mr. Handyman did a stupendous job of repairing it!  And I’m so glad because A.) I love this stupid lamp & B.)  it’s the lamp I use when I sit in bed to write. :spring11

I AM HAPPY that we’ve had a few very nice days when I could open up the house & let The Kittehs enjoy some fresh air & outdoor noises of the bird & squirrel variety. :spring14

I AM HAPPY that there are some really nice & honest people in the world.  I recently spend $161 at a store about an hour from where I live, but after giving the clerk my credit card, the machine ran out of paper to print a receipt.  She tried so hard to find another roll, but couldn’t & the store manager wasn’t there so she could ask for help.  No problem; I simply wrote a check & she assured me the credit card charge had been cancelled.  I figured I’d glance at my credit card statement when it arrived, but didn’t really think much more of it.  Well, next think you know, I get a letter from the store.  They clearly got my address from my check—& thank goodness they had because it turned out the credit card charge had gone through, after all.  By the time they caught it, though, the check had already been cashed & they no longer had my credit card information to credit my account. :spring3

But how nice was it of them to make the effort to contact me & get that straightened out?  Frankly, I wouldn’t have been the least surprised if they (or anyone else, if you know what I mean) had let it slide & thought, “If she comes in to complain, we’ll deal with it, but if not, we just made ourselves an extra $160 bucks.  Woot!”  Instead, they asked me to please contact them & were so nice about making sure my money was refunded.  I already can’t wait to go back to that store, hopefully thank the manager in person, & spend more money there. :spring11

Finally—& perhaps most of all—I AM HAPPY that Perkins is once again offering their San Francisco Shrimp Stir Fry.  Great googly moogly, is this stuff delicious. :spring2   I discovered it last year around this time (Lent) & am so happy they brought it back!  Wish they’d just add it to their year-round menu already; I would certainly order it every time I stopped in.

If you get the chance to try it, let me know what you think, okay?

Your turn:  what are you happy about this week that you’re eager to tell us about? :spring22

(He wishes. *snicker*)
