A Treasure Found at Home

i didn’t sleep well last night. i do that when there’s a lot on my mind. so, i was awake at 4am and just feeling drifty again about 6:30 which was my hard deadline for getting out of bed this morning. i know most of you do that every day, and you feel very, very sorry for me for having to join your ranks. today they’re doing work on the sewer system in my neighbourhood so i can’t use any water between 7am and 5pm. not unless, they mentioned, i didn’t mind having sewage backed up into my home.

uh, no, done that, been there, it sucks canal water with a flav-o straw.

anyhow, not much sleeping makes me grumpy, so today my list of small things to be grateful for starts with itself.

1. this list, for reminding me when i need it
2. TED iphone app
3. galahad kept my spot on the bed warm for me while i quick showered
4. ranch carpool buddy offered to let us take her car
5. chalk board
