Grateful

Things for which I am grateful today:

*My J.
*My friends.
*My family.
*Sims 2 Seasons, which I love.
*Also, that I got to play it last night and get to play it tonight, too.
*That J is going to sit with me while I play it tonight, and feign interest, because he’s sweet that way.
*A sunny day before the ice storm we’re supposed to get tonight. Sigh.
*My dogs.
*My cats
*J’s dogs.
*Especially McDuff, who is just cuter than any dog should ever be allowed to be.
*Internet radio.
*That I’ll have enough paid time off (PTO) to cover my sick days from last week, so my paycheck won’t be short.
*That I accrue more PTO every day that I work.
*My mp3 player.
*That I just overheard a coworker ask another coworker if August was the 8th month. Ha! Did she really need verification on that?
*All of the wonderful blogs that I read on a daily basis (see sidebar).
*Sims stories on the Sims2 website.
*Lactaid chocolate milk (which I’m almost out of, hint hint).
*Adobe Illustrator, which makes my job kind of fun sometimes.
*My job. As much as I would rather be at home all day, I’m grateful to have a decent job working for a decent company.
*Stupid state laws: http://www.dumblaws.com/laws/united-states/new-york/
*Payment plans. I got hit with a bill from NY State for over $500, because an error was made on my taxes in 2003. Ugh! Also, my stupid insurance won’t cover the lab work from a routine physical, because the doctor put down that she was ordering it “because of family history.” Blue Cross/Blue Shield Excellus sucks. But payment plans save my life.
*The new banner that Sarah made for my site, so that it could stop looking all wintery. Thank you Sarah! (Look for it to be up soon.)
*That Gracie didn't get hurt yesterday, when she ran into the kitchen like her tail was on fire, jumped up to the top of the fridge, and ran into the water box (there is a picture of Zelda in it in the previous entry), knocking it, and herself, off the fridge onto the floor. Hee. Silly Gracie.
*That all you fine people stop by here to read my quiet little blog about my quiet little life.
