If you're happy and you know it...

10 things I'm thankful for right now:

1. I'm home!
   
2. vanilla vodka
   
3. warm orange striped chenille sweater
   
4. my new cell phone, upon which I can read a small but important subset of my email when I'm off travelling and seeing family, so I don't feel so lonely and isolated from my tribe
   
5. being home and reading the rest of my email on my *real* email client
   
6. waking up this morning and finding that my cough is finally a minor annoyance instead of the main component of my breathing
   
7. my housemates, who juggled technical problems with one of our servers until we got home to deal with it ourselves
   
8. my two-and-a-half-year-old niece, who managed to crash herself into a full-length mirror Wednesday night, is fine after the addition of four staples in the emergency room
   
9. wellbutrin, which kept me sane when I only had a cigarette every forty-eight hours from Wednesday morning 'till today
   
10. at least two months of *no travelling*!
    

kightp posts five things she's grateful for pretty much every day. I think that's a wonderful thing. I don't think I could manage to do so daily, but I keep thinking I'd like to try to do so semi-regularly, or something.

what, are you missing your fingers?

why the hell won't fedex ever ring the fucking doorbell?

another "you have to be here to sign for your package" note left when I've been here ALL DAY.

They'll try again tomorrow; I suppose we could leave them a four-foot-high "please ring the fucking doorbell this time" note on the door, maybe that would help. It's too cold to park myself on the porch as I've done in the past...
