Fate conspires on my behalf

bladesparkToday is good day. Firstly, there was buying a turly massive stack of the new PYO Windstone wolves for a gal from the forum. She had to be at work when the wolves were due to be released, but really wanted some, so we made arrangements for me to get some for her.
Then I went and got one for myself too. And I gave in a bought one of the limited production new curled dragons. They're teeny, and a part of me wails at spending $60 on a few ounces of gypsum, glass, and paint, but that bit is probably just my mother, so I squish it and go on with enjoying my beautiful and valuable collection.
Though I decided to sell my unicorn. I haven't had him for all that long, but he just wasn't... just wasn't as nifty as the dragons. I'm not really collecting them for the sake of having a collection, I'm collecting them because they're lovely to look at. Thus, though the unicorn is very pretty, he's not as pretty as the dragons, and being in worrysome financial straits, and being as how somebody made me an offer, he just had to go. I was happy to have had him for a while, and having had him for a time will keep me from wanting to bid on every one that I see. (Seriously... I want to bid on any and every Windstone sometimes, even the ones I know I don't really want to pay money for!) He went to a very eager collector who will appreciate him. The pegasus, once fully repaired, may well go that same route. We'll see. Anyhow, I now have shelf space for all but one of my male dragons again. Woo. That'll change rather quickly, I'm sure. The young dragon, the mother, one male, and one of the orientals are currently languishing on bookshelves because the display shelf lacks room for them. Thank heavens Kali has no interest in them.
Anyhow, today! Today was good. As a result of helping a fellow collector, my credit is very high on the forums right now, with one previously noted exception, and that has me all cheery, and then I was presented with a gift of fate in the form of a Subway sandwich.
I have been craving Subway of late, you see. But JJ has Subway most every day, as there's one on campus. Thus he has not been willing to go to Subway on those occasions when we go out and get fast food. Today I was starving, and particularly craving a meatball sub with cheese and spinach and onion and tomato.... mmmmmm.... *drool* Anyhow, we stopped at a grocery store other than the one we usually frequent, as it was on the way home from the post office, and LO! Sharing the same little shopping center was a Subway! So while JJ went and bought what he'd come for, I went and got my meatball sub. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Thus, today is a good day.
Idiotic arguments about salmon notwithstanding.

But alas, the cost compared to size did in fact deter this enthusiast (esp. as shipping plus duty plus conversion would have brought it to about $100.... ouch). Also refused myself a wolf because I think I would much rather have a dragon if/when I can afford them and they're available direct. I like the idea of the odd-eyed option though. Nifty keen!
