Eye doc found nothing wrong, and my vision hasn’t appreciably worsened in the last 7 years.

Boss was awesome and let me take a long lunch to go to said doc appointment.

Other boss let me leave early so I could deliver something to the other office for them. Oh darn 🙂

I got to hold a friend’s hand while she got her first tattoo – her first real one anyway – to cover her radiation marks. Big day.

I’m thankful for small pleasures like dinner and conversation with friends.

Ms. Right

To get what you want you have to ask for it, right? Ok universe, I’m putting this out there. I know she exists…

She must be kind and thoughtful. Needs a good sends of humor. A little sarcasm is ok. Must also be ok with my sense of humor.

Needs to care about herself and her health.

Needs to have her shit together. Or at least in the process of doing so with a real plan.

Needs to be intelligent… With at least as high a degree of education as me. Needs a good dose of common sense too.

I don’t want or need a super model but she must be someone I can look in the eyes and be honest when I say “hello beautiful”

Must love animals and the outdoors

No smokers

Must enjoy sex and not be averse to trying new things.

Must like trying new things in general

social drinking is ideal, but doesn’t become a drunken fool at every party.

Must be drug and disease free.

Likes to dance and doesn’t totally suck at it.

Similar tastes in music and movies

absolutely MUST be out to family and friends. Supportive family preferred.

Must be able to take care of herself, but doesn’t mind me doting on her from time to time. It would be nice to have someone dote on me occasionally too.

Isn’t a slob.

I got to leave work on time twice in a row! I’m not sure what to do with myself!

Wait, I know what to do… SLEEP! I am grateful for sleep!

I’m grateful that I have a good balance of book smarts and common sense.

I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow to take care of something (finally). Hoping it’s nothing major.

I have a pretty nifty apartment.

I got to work out of the office that’s 10 minutes from my house this morning, which meant I got to sleep in a little AND go for a run. Yay!

I got a lot of things knocked off my to-do list before the tech showed up

It might annoy others, but I really do enjoy my ability to find the silver lining in almost anything. At the very least, things could be worse. (that is NOT an invitation universe…)

It sometimes drives me nuts, but I am very lucky to have an insanely busy social calendar. Oh woe is me… people like spending time with me. 😉

A conference and a hurricane have conspired to make me miss updates. So here we go…

The conference reenergized me for my job.

Despite a hurricane blowing in, we made our train and got back safely.

I had plenty of food and water stocked for the storm.

All of my friends and family are safe and well.

I didn’t need to evacuate.

My apt and car made it through the storm unscathed.

I still have no heat but I have hot water and a butane stove for cooking.

My car’s gas tank cannot be opened from the outside, so I’m safe from gas thieves.

I got called for NYCFT interviews again! One step closer to goal.
