good things

now with that serious and thoughtful post out of the way i can post a list of good things about today

seeing a good friend i haven’t seen for several weeks

being gifted with a pound of wild, smoked & candied coho salmon (if you buy this stuff in a supermarket it’s really expensive and not very good, this was caught and cured by my good friend which makes it a million times better)

being gifted with a new book to read

finishing up voting for the collective agreement – tomorrow i count the ballots, send them into the regional office and my role in the whole bargaining/strike/agreement debacle is officially over!

feeling like i really am almost better from the oral surgery

having someone buy me lunch

being given permission to staff the position my assistant left last april (at least in anticipation of getting the full permission from the big boss)

looking forward to a dinner of smoked salmon, brown rice and greens

sending a surprise envelope to a friend in the mail with something i think they will like inside

looking forward to margot coming to hang out for the weekend

and

realizing that the yelling really wasn’t my fault (in telling a story to someone, i realized how fucked up a certain situation really was and how absurd it was that i took the blame)

huzzah!
