This good day

What is making this a good day?

1) Well, for one thing I do not have a headache. On any given weekend day I have a 50-50 chance of having a headache. The odds played in my favor for today because I had a migraine yesterday (Thursday too, but who's keeping track?).

2) It is gorgeous out. 47 frickin' degrees. On four of the five work days this week, it was below zero when I drove to work. This is an improvement! There are still several feet of snow outside, but some melting is occuring and you can hear the dripping. And we've got windows open in order to let in some new air (since the same stinking air has been circulated since last fall). And ahh, nicer weather can make a difference.

3) I am not at work. After the last couple of weeks of work, just not being there is enough to make my day good. I actually ended up in tears on Friday (the fact that I am menstrating may have influenced that a bit). Anyway, without being dramatic (I don't mean to be at least), I am in the midst of an ethical dilemma at work. This is the same dilemma I've been dealing with for almost a year. In fact, I wanted to write about it last summer for my ethics class, but since I don't know what to do about it I would have gotten a shitty grade on the paper :). And that is funny in spite of the crappiness it represents.

4) I just cooked up some pizza burger mix which I have simmering on the stove. I don't cook what I consider to be real meals very often, so when I actually put effort into something like this I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

This is definitely a time when I need to be focusing on the positive things. The situation at work is really dragging me down, so I am happy to have had a couple of days to refresh before heading back tomorrow.

Have a great day all of you bloggy-friends!
