Oh, and on top of everything else this morning my 79-year-old Mom called -- she fell down and broke her wrist. And my oldest has been sick all week.
So, many of you good people have offered help, and I am going to take you up on it:
Tell me something good. Something good that is happening to you, or people you love, or in the world. About what you had for dinner, if it was really good. What you really wanted to have for dinner, but didn't. Tell me a silly joke. Or a not silly joke. Whatever.
Tell me of things that make you happy.

Friends, good food, and the ability to give and receive support are all things that make me happy.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom.

My two favorites are Cafe Colucci, on Telegraph near 65/Alcatraz, and Cafe Eritrea d'Afrique, on Telegraph/40th.
The latter is especially dear, because it is owned by a woman named Zima who walked across Eritrea to escape political oppression. She had to leave her mother (who could not do the cross-country trek) behind, and she worked tirelessly long hours in her restaurant for years with the goal of bringing her mother to America. I haven't spoken to her in a while so I don't know if she succeeded yet, but... it is an inspiration in any case.
The food there is awesome too - huge portions, low on the spicy end of things, and wonderful creamy fruity drinks.

Know that I think you're one of the most intelligent, articulate and passionate people I know, and that I consider it a privilege to be privy to your opinion on things big and small.

The part of my garden that I weeded last weekend is looking really good, as if the wanted plants just needed a little elbow room to get happy again.
I had my annual job review today, and managed to stand my ground on a point that was important to me without offending or angering my boss, so we both left it happy.
And it's a lovely, cool evening and I think I'lm going to go sit in the hot tub for a little while before bed.

I had a great time dancing this week. It felt physically good to be out there, when I've had my share of pain in the past couple months.
I can see SO much better since I got new contacts, that I keep saying, "Thank you Dr. Seger", periodically, throughout the day. The world is a beautiful place.
I'm flirting with a guy in New York with whom I swear forty-five minutes of time on the phone is not two hours, but mysteriously, it turns out that it is. He will be flying out to visit me in July. Whee.
Joke --> Q: How is a wombat like a one-night stand? A: He eats roots, shoots, and leaves.

The two male whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium (Ralph and Norton) were "given some female companionship" last weekend. Two females, Alice and Trixie, have now joined them. They hope to someday have baby whale sharks at the aquarium, although stress that they are currently in the adolescent stage of development. Whale sharks give birth to at least 300 babies in a litter...
I got a package of stuff I ordered this week. New things are fun!!! :)
A somewhat funny thing: My cat, also known as the Fluffy Princess, has recently decided that she needs to drink out of the shower after I've finished. She sits at the shower stall and meows until I open the door for her to drink the leftover water in the bottom of the shower. Regular water will not do. Water put in the bathtub will not do. Ice cubes in her water fountain are amusing for a second and then boring...it must be shower water.

Today's my last day at hell job and New Job starts monday.
I'm still basking in the glow of my trip to see my sweeties last week, which included adding a sweetie - a kilt wearing sweetie, which is a new thing for me (as in having a male sweetie besides Dan).
I actually remembered to start dinner yesterday and we had a lovely roast from the crock pot and some sweet corn for dinner last night, after I napped before Dan got home from class.
My niece's 11th birthday is tomorrow. I have no idea where the time has gone.

Even sicky and cranky, snuggling in bed and finding silly things to laugh about. Yay silly things to laugh about.

Today my Grandma and I went out to lunch at the local sushi joint, and it was dynamite. Perfectly cooked unagi and tamago.
Also, on my walk this morning I saw a cedar waxwing (http://www.fnal.gov/ecology/wildlife/pics/Cedar_Waxwing.jpg) eating mulberries.

Good things. Um, Chris and I went to the county fair yesterday. The weather was perfect, we had food on a stick, saw tiny baby goats jumping around at the petting zoo, and went on a roller coaster together.
