I hardly ever write when I’m happy, because I’m one of those people who are motivated by crisis, but today I was really freaking happy, happy with sufficient intensity to inspire a post about being happy.
Three reasons to be happy today:
It is going to rain. (It has been dry all last month and that’s not good for spring. Also, I’m a strange person who enjoys stormy weather).
I was about to go to Krsko to shop, when the train in the other direction arrived and I impulsively hopped on it and went to Sevnica instead. In Sevnica there is a kebab shop where you can get cheese on your kebab. Cheesy kebabs are important to me. I can’t get them in Krsko. I can’t get them in Brezice. I ordered it all in Slovene and the guy understood me. We didn’t have to muddle through a fractured conversation in English/German/Slovene like we did last time.
I walked around in Sevnica and it was springtime and the trees were very pretty, though I forgot to bring my camera. Photo below is from a few days ago.
New life
When I caught the train home from Sevnica, the lady conductor recognized me and said, in Slovene, that she was used to seeing me going back and forth from Krsko but now I am going from Sevnica (which is in the opposite direction from Krsko). I understood her though I could not answer.
I get home and my landlady opens the door for me without too much obvious hatred. Online I discover that a friend I once thought forever lost is following me again on Twitter. And I have a bottle of champagne. Cheap-ass champagne, to be sure, but still.
Now if only people would quit tweeting me silly links to the Daily Mail.

They all sound like wonderful reasons to be happy.
I’m afraid even talking about it might jinx it!
Cheers to a good day!
Wonderfully happy day.
