i'm good

i haven't been able to get into bed any earlier than midnight any day this week so far.  my husband, sensing my exhaustion (compounding my stress and leading to increased crabbiness, which is probably what he really noticed, now that i think of it), gave me an assignment today: find something good that happens today to share with him later tonight.

so i set off on my mission in high spirits.  sunshine, check.  that's good, right?  scraping my foot with my car door, not so much.  traffic, boo.  where did all these cars come from anyway?

i made it to work unscathed, still in a great mood and with my homework in mind.  now that i'm halfway through my day, i can report that i've managed to blow up my lunch in the microwave and ruin my manicure all in one swoop.  but i'm still smiling.

perhaps that was the whole point of the exercise.. just the thought of having my husband there when i get home, ready to hear about my 'good' thing has pulled me through this.  so despite whatever happens, whether good or bad, he'll be my one good thing today.  and every day.
