Awesome day revival?

I would really really like to revive awesomeday.  I have had a month of incredible fucknuttery (2 family emergencies among other things.)  I'm going to try like WHOA to come up with a few things here.  Please please tell me something GOOD going on with you.  No bitching/venting/negativity.  This is officially a cry for help (though I am doing much much better than earlier this week.  Whew.)  I could use some wins here.  Please share yours with me!

Awesome things in my life:

1. Have discovered that spicy salmon is surprisingly effective as antidepressant on the bad days.  I thought it was just the yums, then thought about it and realized that salmon is one of the few good food sources of omega-3s and vitamin D, both of which are good for mood.  So I can TOTALLY LEGITIMATELY say I'm eating medicinal sushi!  Totally legit!  For reals!  It's a medical expense!

2. Have supportive sibling who is excellently good at making me laugh.  My favorite links she's sent me this week are:

3. I get to try electrolysis for free - a colleague has an assistant she needs to bring up to speed and needs a test dummy.  Hell yes I volunteered.  Useful personally & professionally.

4. Life on Mars (US version) and Downton Abbey.  Spouse & I have been mainlining these the last 2-3 weeks.  The first is pure hilarious pure WTF-crack, the second is excellently written & directed BEAUTIFUL crack.  I <3 good production values.

5. I have 3 hats with faces, two of which are penguins.  Also, penguin mittens.

6. Mom is being v supportive of the no wheat thing -- anytime I'm around is making rice-based dishes and using wheat-free soy sauce.  Perhaps she shouldn't have let me name the most recent one.  In my defense though, "Tasty Glop" is an accurate name.

7. I have a 4' x 2' bookcase entirely filled with cookbooks.  Clearly, excellent!

8. I figured out how to make tasty vegan coconut milk fudge last month.  Yum.

9. Hilarious save-the-date magnet on my fridge for upcoming friends' wedding.

10. Have finally figured out how & explained to spouse that constant singing of weird and off-key songs interrupts my thought process and he has REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY CUT DOWN.  Much fewer nonsense songs = less ADD me = less CONSTANTLY forgetting WTF I'm doing.  This is really really GOOD.

You?  What's your awesome?
