Top ten things that made me happy today:

1. I wrote something than didn’t sound like ass.
2. No one at work made me cry.
3. Nothing better than a mid-afternoon cantaloupe snack.
4. Two cups of tea in my now almost tidy office.
5. No one called me with a problem I couldn’t solve.
6. I managed to extricate myseld from two boring conversations.
7. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean today.
8. Such a nice (albeit chilly) walk home with my boyfriend Jesse Thorn.
9. Sushi for dinner.
10. Candy for dessert.

I’m so easy to please. The booze helps.

I am very technically handy: I’m the go-to person in my office for all manner of computer woes, I can fix a leaky faucet and I know the trick to installing a butterfly anchor.

But I’ve always had a great deal of trouble setting up cable connections and DVD players. I have no idea why.

It always seems like a simple task (a few wires; no big deal) until the moment I crack and am compelled to throw the remote across the room in despair.

(I didn’t hit anything with the stupid remote and the DVD player works now.)
