AAA. A group of friendly folk who not only are willing to come out and jump your husband’s car with an enormous jumping-box, but who will also tow said car to a repair shop in order to get that battery serviced.
- Feeling appreciated at work because I have coat hooks and tickets for tomorrow’s lunch and sheet protectors and information about the audits, all while managing to put two documents out for review and another out for submission. I feel intelligent! And important!
- Rollerball pens. Because writing by hand wouldn’t be nearly as easy or as much fun without these gel-filled plastic things.
- Wikipedia, without which I wouldn’t have known there was a difference between ballpoint pens and rollerball pens. FYI, it’s the kind of ink used.
- Pink champagne. Who needs a reason?

Grace in Small Things – 1 Dec 2008
Monday, December 1st, 2008- Electric hot pads. Marvelous, magical objects that bring soothing relief to aching muscles while sleeping at home or working at the office. (Or, I suppose, working at home and sleeping at the office. But it’s not recommended.)
- Husbands who are willing to wake up and rub their wife’s back before she goes to work because it hurts to raise her left arm over her head or tilt her neck in any direction.
- Coffee. I’ve been trying to not drink it as often as I had been, but after a sore, restless night, coffee is a wonderful, wonderful way to start the work week.
- Being called “eagle-eye” and for finding errors in a document, instead of being called nit-picky and anal.
- Pictures of my family, even if they do make me cry.

This seemed appropriate, somehow.

Garfield Minus Garfield, if you haven’t heard of it, “is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.” It’s hilarious.
