It wasn’t so bad today. It hasn’t gotten bonkers yet this week. I had a phone call tonight, with someone who had some useful things to say about my options and about my direction.  And of course things are now as clear as mud.
But I have also been thinking about how permanently grumpy I’ve been and I’ve decided to take a page from my friend Mel’s book and describe some good things about today:
1.  My running group. Running keeps me sane and is helping me to deal with all the crap is going on. They definitely make me happy. This community is important to me.
2. For the beginnings of spring. The rain that was falling as I walked home from work felt like a spring rain rather than a winter rain. It was lovely.
3. For having a post-work run that was still in daylight. I went earlier than usual and was delighted that I didn’t need my headlamp.
4. For the car saga that will be dealt with by the end of this week — and I’ll get a better stereo in the process.
