This last weekend was not the most auspicious start to my next year and failed in many ways to deliver all I had expected. However, I learned a few things:
If a doctor ever says there will be some discomfort but nothing you can't stand... remember that this is the same profession that regards most injections and tiny, little pinches. Consider punching them.
That the cats can always be counted on to not let you sleep more than 9 hours.
The movie you want to see mostly likely will still be playing in a day or so.
Do not ask former co-workers how much their new job pays.
Cinnamon cheerios are the coolest
As a women it is not at all difficult to be wildly happy, sad, hurt and content all at once. At least not until you have to explain it to a man.
Orange juice is good for you.
that sometimes people you don't think are particularly fond of you can do really sweet things that make everything so much better.
That "The Moth" podcast is genius
"A lot" is still two words... no one will ever get it right so attempt not to feel part of brain crush under the pain each time you read it.
Neither spaghetti (in my hands) or pizza (in the nephew's) seem to stain the new couch.
Not all pictures are bad
It is okay to walk out of the office is something smells rotten or dead in the wall nearest your cube
Some people are willfully stupid and others are willfully mean. Pitying them or ignoring them are both better options than interacting with them.
The middle wall of my house has some sort of weird electric system ghost. It makes weird things happen to the things plugged in there. (decided to find it charming)
I tend to believe that I am a person who has trouble sleeping - therefore I tend to be someone who has trouble sleeping. When I really need sleep and don't fight it with "things I have to get done" - I manage to sleep. seriously consider re-evaluating self image
Roombas rock.
