1. My son made it safely to his destination (five states away) for spring break to see father (I get so nervous in the weeks leading up to his departure that I feel like a top ready to spin off the planet)
2. I’ve gone several hours without obsessing about my currently out-of-control acne
3. I found two items I thought I had lost (a little pillbox with my on the road supply of Xenical and Adderall, and a notebook I keep for scribbling down things before I forget them – AND both were retrieved from the floor in the backseat of the car without so much as an intervention from St. Anthony).
4. The shorts I wore ten years ago (and kept as a litmus test, or more accurately a cruel reminder of the 50 pounds I had gained) more or less fit today (although I wouldn’t dream of wearing them beyond the front door). Note, I have not lost fifty pounds, but that’s OH-kay.
5. The dog didn’t puke on the bed – or anywhere else for that matter.
6. The sunglasses I bought the other day for $9.99 really WERE $65.00 retail someplace else (a bargain can make my spirits soar).
7. It hasn’t rained yet – as predicted.
8. These stupid thongs I paid too much money for seem to be past the blister rubbing point (yikes, I just re-read this – I mean flip flop type thongs, not the other kind – ouch!).
9. My toes haven’t itched uncontrollably for 2+ weeks (this is a biggie).
10. We may go see a movie tonight and with any luck, we’ll get an aisle seat and I won’t have a panic attack (this is positive thinking in advance I suppose).
It’s not easy to think of ten things but by cracky, it IS cathartic.
