1. The folks who responded to my getting un-bitter thread. Thank you. I am working on it. My toes look good, my hair's clean, and I'm getting more exercise. I also drank beer on my stoop. Not doing the rubber band thing, 'cause I don't want to (no offense), but metally checking myself when entering the loop.

2. My son if wonderful. we had a really good week: minimal power struggles, talked a lot, went to the park with a picnic and saw fish in the stream on the nature trail, made pizza together.

3. Good neighbors.

4. Last night I cleaned my apartment to within an inch of its life, and then set about making a dress I meant to make last year, but never got around to (this is the upside of joint sustody, no?). It's all pieced together, just have to make & attach the lining, finish it up. (sigh) I'm so cool. There's even a zipper.

5. My mom, who kicks ass and helped me book a ticket to the midwest to visit.

6. Did most of a drawing while at the laundromat. Will remember to bring drawing board, supplies and paper to laundromat on childless trips from now on.

7. Pesach! My favorite holiday! Will be seeing the fabulous and wonderful Filmmmama and family. Yay! Thanks again, Filmmama!

8. Rode my bike to work and it is gorgeous outside. Amazing what a little sunshine and exercise will do to my mood.

9. Remembered to take vitamins.

10. Bought green leafy veggies at grocery store. I like salad.

Bonus 11: Masterbation! Forgot about this. Also very helpful to overall mood.
