GOOD NEWS DAY

I woke up a little stressed. My mind always jumps ahead of me to catastophise all future events. I was worried about my greencard again. Then, Langford forces me into the moment by demanding my attention. He is very good at not letting me drift away. Langford opened his mailbox to find a rather nice email from a friend of his who has become a friend of mine. Said friend was telling us that he was putting my name forward with good recommendation for a film that he wrote. This was nice news to hear and may have some effect on my chances of getting the part. Next subject to tackle was who, out of Langford and me, had the right to get their car serviced. We had both decided that today was the optimal day, and yet one of us needed to keep our car. Langford argued that I shouldn't have left mine to the last minute and that I should have done it last week when I was 'swanning around at the Thai town markets'. I simply responded by calling Langford a bastard and reminding him that he must be some kind of terrible person. I then said I would 'take my car by myself and catch a cab home!' We then laughed at the ridiculousness of our conversation/argument-as we luckily, always do. Langford won. So we took his car in and then had breakfast at this really cool rustic diner- 'S and W county diner'- in Culver City. I was shocked that the bill for our breakfast was $11.79. That is for 2 breakfasts, my friend. We have obviously been eating at far too expensive restaurants! We must endeavour to hang out at diners more often. Then we did a massive grocery shop to prepare for Langford's mother's arrival. She is coming in tomorrow and staying for 3 weeks! YIKES! I think it is going to be really fun! (N.B. Langford reads this.)
I had a stress about my visa because it affects my US driver's license and (I thought) my insurance. However, I rang my insurance today and it is fine! I am still covered and I don't have to pay any extra! YAY! OOOOOh, the relief. Then, more good news!! I received my finger print appointment for my visa! This means I am very close to getting it! AND I also got a belated birthday present from my fabulous brother- BEAUTIFUL YSL products. How lucky I am today. We are now off to the cinema to see Sex and the City- or rather- I am watching that with Zara and Langford is watching something else!
