Wonderful Day

So, today's been a wonderful day. My wonderful roommate Lorette got home yesterday and so I have a friend to live with!! And she can't stand the heat, and so we turned on the AC last night, and I can't tell you how much more wonderful my life is now that I'm not living in a 76-86 degree apartment anymore. And today after church and having a bite to eat and visiting teaching an awesome girl who's from Taiwan/China/Australia, I treated myself to a siesta on my favorite couch with my favorite afghan, preceded by a few pages of my favorite book, These Is My Words. And then after my exceptionally relaxing nap (which was augmented beautifully by the cool nature of our apartment), I got to read my scriptures. The Book of Mormon and prophets and apostles are so true!! And then I realized that I had started my period. Which shed a whole lot of light on why I've been such an irritable/depressed nutcase for the last week. Happy discovery--I'm more normal than I thought! And after eating some yummy pasta with Prego garlic and herb spaghetti sauce and peas, I called my brother. It was marvelous to talk with him while I meandered around the iris- and rose-spattered streets of east Provo. He made me laugh so hard for so long, and I definitely needed that. And then I went to a fireside given by Dean and Kathleen Hughes. And when I got out from the fireside, I had received a message from a guy who is super good at tennis asking me if I wanted to play tennis with him this week. (Hooray!! I've been looking for someone who's better than me to play with now that my brother is in Georgia.) And then Lorette and I visit taught another amazing girl in the ward, and then we just chatted while I had some dinner. And then Lisa Jenkins came over and graced me with compliments that I had been hungering for all last week. Pretty much it's been a splendid end to a monstrous week, or perhaps a splendid beginning to what's going to be a splendid week! And all despite the fact that both sacrament meeting and the fireside today were on preparing for marriage, which is a topic that, given the irritable/depressed pattern of responses I'd been having last week, could have made me even more irritated and depressed. But alas, I think I'm over those days--or at least for another month or so. :)
