Forced Reboot

[ladysprite]

Today I will focus on the positive things, and I will not let myself be miserable.

My husband had a job interview this morning.
I had an entire litter of shih tzu puppies come in to the office.
I remembered to wear a heavy sweater this morning, so I'm not freezing at work.
We finally have Yorkshire Tea again, so my morning tea was wonderful.
I get to start planning our Thanksgiving menu this week.
Only a day and a half left until the weekend.

I know things are tight right now, but I also recognize that they're not as bad as they could be, and I'm not doing anyone any favors by martyring myself on the Ebenezer Scrooge altar of personal miserhood. So I'm going to be bad and spendy and wasteful and treat myself to breakfast at the local bakery this Saturday, I think, and go see 2012 and revel in apocalyptic disaster porn. And then wallow through my recipes trying to narrow next week's feast down to 2 or 3 desserts.

(Classic pumpkin-praline torte that I've made for 6 years? Or maybe pumpkin gingerbread with homemade cinnamon ice cream? And cranberry-apple pie, or cobbler? Or both? All my decisions should be like this.....)

I assume that this week and next are bad for doing so (due to work and Thanksgiving, respectively), but I'd love to hang out again sometime in the relatively near future. As a pathologically cheerful sort, I'm good for dispelling the impending winter blues.

I was actually planning on dropping you a line within the next couple of days - I've got maybe three whole days of work scheduled for December, so after next week or so, I'm open for all the hanging out in the world....

And, I'll probably be down Boston way for the week of December 14th! Likely business trip to NorthEastern University.

And, in case it wasn't clear, I would really like to visit with you when I'm down there!

That would be an awesome birthday present. :)

Oh, wow, your birthday IS that week! Cool!

seconded on the interview hopes! and, if someone who won't be there to enjoy the fruits of your dessert labors can vote, I vote for pumpkin ginger bread and home-made cinnamon ice cream! :)
