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?
