Mom suggested this.

My parentals are here right now...well they are at my apartment with the dogs, and I'm at work, but you get the picture.

Anyway, apparently I am no longer a joy and thrill to be around (shocking). I think that tends to happen when you don't get a single second to yourself during the day. I've learned that its hard for me to be "on" all day. Rather exhausting to be exact. So Mom said that I need to take a moment everyday and write down the good things that happened.

Here we go.

1. I woke up.
2. I didn't have to go to my useless practicum.
3. I had food in the pantry.
4. My dog didn't wake me up by pulling my hair out.
5. I got to try the International Crepe Fest at IHOP.

*side note* It wasn't good, but I can chalk that up to experience.

6. I have only gotten truly annoyed with ONE person on the phone at work.

*side note* when attempting to go a facility for the first time here are few pieces of advice:
a. Know the name of where you are going.
b. Listen to the person giving you instructions on the phone, they do not have an hour to go over every landmark between your home and their office location.
c. Be really helpful and check out the website for directions, or *gasp* google it.

7. My parents decided to stay one more night. Now it may be possible that I guilted them into this decision, and while I may not be proud of the fact that I pulled the guilt card, I am happy regardless.
8. I have gotten all my reading for the week done, which has not happened in advance since undergrad.

Whilst these may be laden with sarcasm, they are, nevertheless, positive.

My task is complete.
