Because yesterday I not only completely sorted out my contact list in my cell phone (yes even paired numbers to individual contacts and nuked duplicates), but I also helped a poor guy who was stranded in the road with no gas. His van was parked by a center lane island, the rain was pouring down nasty like and I knew a gas station was just down the street. He spoke little english, but was thankful for the ride to and from the gas station and even bought me a big bottle of water and a bag of Harvest Cheddar Sunchips. I have heard the horror stories of people picking up other people to help out, only to be mugged, raped, or killed. I didn't get that vibe from this guy and I try to help others out when I can, esp. in such shitty situations. It turned out to be a win/win for the both of us and that kinda cheered up my day!
I also met mother dearest for breakfast with my brother as well, though our original destination of going to a Denny's turned out to be shot to hell after trying 2 different ones. We settled for Chili's because it was 11am and they were now open) wherein I happily had 2 El Presidente margaritas (with no grief about my temp ID from the bartender, cause he remembered me) and nummy food. I left in a happy mood & stuffed, though had to drive in the rain because it feels (almost is really) like suicide to let my mother do it! x_o
