Thankful, well, all right. Friday.

So it's Friday already. Today I am thankful for

• A week's vacation. I needed it. It's not long enough.
• The check I was expecting and worrying about, arriving in Tuesday's mail. (I would have saved myself a lot of anxiety if I'd had enough cope to set up an electronic transfer.)
• Gin.
• Getting things done.

NO thanks to

• bindweed
• offices that aren't where you expect them to be, and close early
• stuff that piles up because of procrastination
