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.....)
