Gratitude

Remember that 'depression' thing?

Surprised by how long it took me to get around to that 'gratitude' thing?

...okay, so sometimes it takes me a little bit to catch on.

• So I've got this kitten. Who's almost a cat, these days. And oh, she loves me.


• I get to see my nephew ALL THE TIME.


• Free rent. And utilities. Also the fact that it's been almost two months and my mother and I still haven't killed each other.


• Did I mention the cats? I take Loiosh to my mom's store once a week to help keep an eye on Riley. And he puts up with it.


• There's a laundry room right in the house. No laundromats!


• I've gotten some truly awesome sewing projects done (about which more later).


• Getting back in touch with old friends. A lot of them. Like, zillions.


• Also, best nephew ever.


• My whole family is right the heck here. RIGHT HERE.


• Weekends at the cabin in the mountains.


• Sometimes my mom cooks, and I don't have to.


• Also, she really likes my cooking.

So yeah...it'll do. It'll do.
