Today was awfully awful. It started bad and got worse, and I really needed a pick-me-up or 20.

Hence, today’s list of things that have slowly made life worth living again:

• Melodrama. (See above). What’s a bad day without a few tears and a bit of ol’ fashioned bosom-clasping?
• Bosom. Because I just used it and it is a fabulous word. It’s also in the lyrics of this song, which might be the best blustery-day-driving-music on record.
• Sweet lunchtime phone call from the Hubs, “just to chat”.
• An hour with Hot D. It’s all sunshine and shoes and olda boys with that one.
• Facebook. Facebook can be really awful. It can make you lonely and jealous and forlorn. It can also recreate inside jokes, give you a job and an outlet, to which people respond when you tell the online universe that you are down and out. Oh, the double-edged sword of social media.
• Living by the ocean. It just keeps rolling, reminding me that my problems are not so huge.
• Signs of spring.
• Strawberry and pineapple Golden Spoon with gummy bears, brought home to me by Mr. Handsome, as a “feel-better” treat.

I guess it’s not so awful after all.
