Thanksgiving
Things I'm thankful for today (in no particular order):
* Tesco Cold Relief Capsules. My cold is back with a vengeance. I think I tried to do too much when I was still sick before, and now this virus is totally kicking my ass.
* My job. I was not made for office work. I hate sitting in a cubicle. I hate the random rules that serve no purpose but to make middle managers feel important. The whole atmosphere makes my skin crawl. But for a cubicle job, my current job isn't too bad. My co-workers are awesome. I have lower pay, but I did the math and the amount I'm making less than my last job is almost compensated by the amount I'm not having to spend on bottled water and coffee because they are now supplied for free.
* My brother, and his taste in music. When my computer was stolen I was able to get back a good deal of my lost music from my brother, without having to dig through two dizen dusty boxes to find cd's and re-rip all of them onto MP3. He saved me hours and hours of work. Including most of the Christmas music I really like. Plus, he gave me an Over the Rhine Christmas cd for an early Christmas present. :) (Also, tomorrow is his birthday, so happy birthday Matthew!)
* My trip to Minnesota in September. We had a Thanksgiving dinner with my family when I was there, so I don't feel so bad about the half-assed thanksgiving dinner I'm going to be throwing together on Sunday because I'm too sick (and too busy working) on Thanksgiving.
* My husband. He is very tolerant. I don't think I'll ever understand why he insists on staying married to me.
