Counting Blessings

Here is a list of things that have made this week easier:

1) Sympathetic roomates taking me out to (seperate) dinners.

2) Jordan's 9 year old sister saying this: "If I was a grownup I would go down to that bosses office and I would tell her 'Willow should keep working with Jordan.' And I would use the S-word."

3) The Fed-Ex man thoughtfully tucking the package containing my airport card under the newspaper on my porch. How quickly would I go over the edge if it had been stolen?

4) Two mornings spent with my 3 year old twin friends, Heborg and Squeezy Lou. This quote from Heborg as he was looking at a telescope: "Then you look at the stars and you SMILE." It sounds like the title of a Bright Eyes album, right?

5) Said twin galloping around my living room spanking himself with a panty-liner box.

6) Hearing from one of Jordan's classmates that his new aid is "sort of bossy." Damn, she got burned!

7) My extraordinarily even-tempered boyfriend becoming furious when I told him what happened. "That's fucking bullshit! That's so fucking UNJUST!"

8) The knowledge that this could have been so so so much worse without the amazing support the school and family have offered me.

9) Plenty of time to utilize my new airport card at the Fresh Pot.

10) Sympathetic comment posted on my last entry by some random dude who runs an online poker blog out of the midwest. Huh. Thanks.
