My sister recommended this little New Yorker humor piece to me, Where I Live, by Amy Ozols. She said it made her think of me, which...I'm not sure...but that might be an insult. Usually my sister is the soul of kindness. hmph. (I only have three cats, I swear, and, and...oh...nevermind.)

I had scheduled last Thursday and Friday off, to spend a little time with a friend in town for the week, and also to not have to deal with driving home from work during the music portion of SXSW, which makes downtown (where I work) more or less impassable. Then I managed to develop my first cold in a year on Wednesday and went home sick.
Wednesday was the worst day, however, and timely application of Cold-Eze, by which, yes, I swear, and pushing liquids and hot lemon w/honey seems to have cleared the worst from system quickly. I managed all my social plans and otherwise napped a lot over the whole four days, which, you know, napping with cats: one of my favorite activities. Also read books and watched the first two discs of The Forsyte Saga, which I had never seen. And also cleaned and did the necessary devoir of life, so yay me. Alas, however, very little fic-writing took place. Will remedy that today, at some point in the dayjobbery.

The other very yay thing about the last four days is that two lovely friends, my usual Sunday writing date, moved into their new place in my neighborhood, which just rocks. I walked over there twice over the weekend to consult w/them on paint colors. Having friends in easy walking distance is like, awesome. Makes me very happy.

Did something make you happy over the last few days?
