- I have a roof over my head and an air conditioner that works when it is 99+ outside
- I have a next-door neighbor that lets me come dunk in her backyard above-ground pool when it is 99+ outside
- I have a former coworker that has a chainsaw and didn’t mind coming over when a mutual friend asked him to give me a hand, especially when he was paid in beer
- I haven’t seen said coworker in over four years and he still came over
- The trees (well, branches the size of small trees) that came down while I was on vacation are now in small piles all by the trashcan thanks to the chainsaw of former coworker
- Former coworker has quoted me on removing my dead tree, offered to till and redo my backyard in September, and said he might come over with a mower some day this week in addition to possibly removing the remainder of the debris that is in my front yard and slowly filling the trash canister
- Big huge work conference seemed to go off without a hitch overall, and the parts that I was in charge of seemed to go very smoothly.
- Made a friend laugh by spoofing something we had just read and coming up with the Ten House Rules for any guests in my home
- Mom took me to lunch today and I had enough for dinner (only I forgot to bring it home so it is really going to be lunch)
- Caffeine Free Diet Coke
