Tuesday Tick-Off List

Inspired by Bitchy Dust's regular update on life and all the stuff that goes with it...

I'm grateful for:

• being here right now (God knows it took me ages, but it has obviously paid off)

• friends who start squeaking on the phone when I give them a surprise buzz

• friends who find the time in their super busy lives to email something like supr busy, ll email later, hug

• a beer on the terrace and the double episode of Friends when I get home from work

• co-workers who enjoy lying in the grass during lunch break as much as me

• crazy, unexpected, fun weekends

• beautiful weather on a crappy day

• my annual leave in five weeks (if I make it)

• random walks around the neighbourhood

• friends I didn't even know I had

• a nice cup of tea

• Soup Mondays at work

• those tiny glimpses of light in the darkest hour.

I'm not thrilled about:

• a pile of crap on a beautiful day

• self-involved people who make it even crappier

• when shit start snowballing in front of your eyes and you can only watch in shock

• no heating at the office on a cold day

• plans, ideas and opinions being pushed aside while being overrun by the snowball of shit

• short days and long nights (although I'm a night owl)

• never-ending piles of dirty dishes

• this mess in my head.
