Thankful day
Workin' at it today, because I slept on my neck wrong -- not bad enough to justify stopping my daily routine, but *just* bad enough to be irritating. Meh.
So. GRATITUDE! Today I haz it. For:
Microwaves. Microwaved rice, wrapped in a towel, give a nice moist renewable heat that is just flippin' awesome right now.
Dancin' times and sweet friends. Went up to Portland to meet friends for a concert this past weekend. Turned into a two-woman girl's night out that reminded me of early college/high school, complete with getting gussied up in a McDonald's bathroom. *lol* Had a great time. Ran into a few people I hadn't seen in years, friend stayed with us two nights so she could visit other folks, and made us an awesome dinner.
Kitty snuggles. My feral girl has been plopping herself on my chest at night for scritches. Still terrified of me when I'm vertical, but horizontal I'm just another cat in her pride. Which is kinda cool.
Writin' progress. Long way from perfect (just ask the folks who read my space opera opener this past week... *ow*) but steadily improving and having fun. Starting to settle into a rhythm that allows progress without *requiring* panic.
Electricity. Lost access to that service for a few hours this week, and it's amazing how dark the bathroom is and how difficult it is to get anything done without it... including NO COFFEE. *horrors*
Spring.
The things I take for granted and shouldn't: People who love me, the roof over my head, the casual way I can drive 18 miles for coffee and writing time, friends, little luxuries, bright spring blooms.
