Weasel Of Doom

4. Training got done a little early, so I emailed a bunch of friends I haven’t talked to in a long time

2. Tomorrow I am going for Day 1 of job-related training

5. Marlboro Menthol Ultra Lights (I know, I know….)

1. At least I got to use my sparkly nail polish once before OldestOne dumped most of it out

5. “Wheel of Time” and “Lord of the Rings” re-reads at Tor.com

(Following Violet’s good example, I am going to try and find five positive things to post every day. I tend to focus on the negative, so this should be an interesting exercise. Who knows, it might even help me get back into writing this blog again…)

1. Diet Coke – sweet caffeine that keeps me going
2. Sergey hugging me lots of times before I left for work
3. Dinner and conversation with good friends
4. My new “dark burgundy” hair color (only $3 at Target!)
