list one thing every day that was positive

I’ve had a very intense week…no daily entries, although I’m sure there were good things to be said.

The positive thing today is 43 Things itself (holla).

Also, I am dog-sitting. Being a cat-person, this is fun and strange. How many times can a dog walk if there is a willing walker? Fuck. I’ll tell you when the day is done…lol….

As is obvious, I’m sure, by my username, I LOVE cats. Today was a particularly awesome day, cat-wise. I am cat sitting for a few days, and the cat is so sweet. His paws are huge, his eyes are green, and he loves looking out the window. On my way home, a cat dashed across the street (I almost hit him? I’ll assume). He had a mouse in his mouth and was clearly rushing home with the loot, delighted and anxious to show off. One of my crazy cats was acting…crazy… as I cleaned the house, climbing up my legs, jumping on my shoulders from random and unexpected angles. Weirdo. So funny.

My toilet was broke, my landlord put in a whole new one. Within 2 days of me calling him. And he called me to tell me that we were expecting snow. I can’t blame him for the snow.

I am travelling for work, and the people are so friendly. I watched the sunset last night, it was gorgeous.

I took one of my cats to the vet today, and there were lots of people coming and going with their pets. You could see how important the pets were to their owners / landlords. They were saying their names, and introducing them to the other pets, and making little ajdustments to keep them comfortable and calm. Awwww….so sweet.

Today I was dealing with a lady who is very mentally ill and she kept yelling and swearing at me and saying that my co-worker was the best, and I sucked and on and on. I never took it personally, but I wondered what magic thing my co-worker had done in the past to make such an impression. We talked about it after work, and she told me of a time several years ago when this person was hanging about, waiting for her father to pick her up (he was dead). Said co-worker bought her a sandwich and Coke and set her up at a table, and told her to eat and then walk home.

Small acts of kindess…huge.

Yesterday: I went to a short film festival, SO enjoyable.

Today: Good food and green tea – magic! I woke up feeling achy and painy, but my home cooking and tea brought me back to life. A much better choice than fast food, which would’ve put me back to bed.

It was fun; I’m glad I went. Um. That’s it.

I had supper with my parents tonight, haven’t seen them in a while. I feel very lucky to have great parents.

At work today, I was waiting my turn to speak, and my colleague leaned over and whispered, “I just realized that Mary looks just like a female Rod Stewart”. Mary was sitting up front. I let out this weird, gulpy suppressed laugh sound. Don’t know if anyone else noticed me, don’t care. She doesn’t even look like Rod Stewart; it was still hilarious…so random.
