Happy! Or not?

What made me happy today? Being happy! Or not?
So, I could go on and gush about the bed and breakfast I'm staying at. I mean, look at the place!


And yes, I've tried out the jacuzzi :-)


Now, it's not something I usually do, but in this case I will interrupt the regular scheduled programming.
There's been a disaster. People in the Philippines are dead, dying or in desperate need of help. It's on the way, but it needs to get there fast. And you can help too. Donate to your local charities if you can. The links are in Dutch, but you can always check out how to donate to your local Red Cross, Medicines without Borders or other charities. If you can't donate, please help and spread the word. These people need our help, and they need it now. So please share this message and help spread the word.

More bubbles!

What made me happy today? More bubbles!
On Monday, I talked about how much I love taking long bubble baths. Well, I'm currently staying at a bed & breakfast for work, and my room has a jacuzzi! It's filling up as I write this. So you know what I'll be doing this evening :-)

The royal treatment

What made me happy today? Being totally spoiled here :-)
Yesterday me and my colleagues wanted to make dinner reservations for this evening. So I went up to the hotel desk, to ask if they could please give me the number of the restaurant so I could call in the reservation. Instead of giving me the number, he called over his colleague who made the reservation for us. Talk about service!
I have a nice room with (for some reason) two two-person beds in it. I slept pretty good, especially considering it was the first night in a strange bed. Breakfast was great, so many things to choose from! Lunch was very tasty as well :-) And during the breaks we're being provided with tasty pastries, fruits, yoghurt and a huge assortment of teas, juices and coffees. They're keeping us well fed and hydrated here!
And we got some calls from important people from work, to thank us for the great job we're doing. Even the vice-president of the company called in for this! And we all got a gift, a travel bag with the study logo on it.
So I'm feeling a bit like a princess right now. It's a nice feeling!
But I have to add that I'm glad I don't have to do this every week, this whole meeting is pretty intense and tiring...
