As per usual, when things are going well for me, I find it more and more difficult to settle down to write and, more often than not, sit listening to songs with beautiful lyrics and smiling silently to myself. But the holiday weekend was not the greatest for me so I think a reminder of the good things is in order:
Pie - Oh man, I really do bake a killer pie and the Bailey's Irish Cream Pumpkin Pie I made last week had me going back for thirds.
Cider - The alcoholic kind. It helped me through my trip home and discovering my favorite cider (Vandermill Totally Roasted) on tap at a local bar last night reminded me just how much I love this city.
My IT staff - So on Tuesday I thought I had completely destroyed my auditing system and lost a large amount of the work I'd put in over the past year. Yesterday, my wonderful crew worked with me to find the exact problem and fixed it. No greater relief than getting that beautiful email.
My mum - Because even when she says something that hurts my feelings, she immediately realizes it and apologizes the next day. And because we cook some damn good meals together.
The family I chose - Don't get me wrong, there are some truly lovely people that share my genetic code but there are even more that make me feel incredibly uncomfortable in their presence. Being a bisexual agnostic liberal is not something about me they can accept or love and they spew bigotry, judgement, and hatred. However, the friends I have made here are like the family I always wished I had and they make me feel truly warm and fuzzy inside.
This guy - You know that one I vaguebook about and refer to as soldier in adorably sickening tweets. I'm trying not to explode happiness about it everywhere but it leaks out every now and then and can't wait to get Germany and see him again.
