I had planned to write a post today about how all the appliances in my life are conspiring against me, but then I realized something: today is actually shaping up to be an okay day. And days like today need some form of acknowledgment. So hats off to you, Wednesday. You do me well.
Things to feel good about today:
1. Schoolwork (almost) complete. With the exception of one short story that needs to be revised and turned in tonight, I am finished with ALL of my writing classes. And now have nothing to look forward to. Great.
2. Wait a second, I DO have time now to do all the research for which graduate programs I‘ll be applying to. This is good. My original choices have somehow fallen off the grid, which means I need to do some serious digging over the next few months before making any final decisions. And then harassing people for letters of recommendation. Watch out.
3. I’m back at work full-time which means my paycheck will once again be more than the price of a dinner at Taco Bell.
4. Speaking of food- the combination sun-dried tomato and sour cream and onion whole wheat bagel I had for breakfast this morning.
5. My tan. Which if you’ve seen me in the cooler months; you’ll know why this made the list.
6. That I made it through the entire Kindergarten open house last night without crying in public. (I should stress that last part since the moment we arrived home I started weeping and felt slightly ridiculous. Rites of passage: I cry for thee.)
7. And last but not least- the poster in the health clinic’s examination room that reminded me once again that jumping around after sex does not prevent pregnancy. And I’m not a damn kangaroo.
I always have such a hard time with the second part of that last one.
