10 Awesome Things for the week of 12/1 -12/7

Man, this past week was incredibly eventful. Not everything was awesome, but the trick is trying to find the beauty in the suck. Let's see how I did as I count it down...

10. On Monday I was still experiencing vertigo (and as I write this, I still am); but that didn't stop me from packing my lunch and having a good World AIDS day. I also watched a lovely episode of Jon and Kate plus Eight. I saw some people on it I know!
I also found out Kate is going to be in my Town this week signing her book. I wrote it down on my calendar. ;)

9. On Tuesday, I ran up over a curb. (Not awesome; full of suck). I dented the wheel and broke the wheel barring. Yes. It's expensive. I took it to the shop at lunch to find out if it was drive able for at least a little bit. Then after multiple phone calls to multiple places - made an appointment on Friday to have it fixed.

8. On Wednesday, I started writing a book. It started with a line to describe how I felt at the end of Tuesday - but I promise you it's not a book about cars.

7. Also, on Wednesday, I got sick. Again. I was coughing up green stuff. Eww. I drank copious amounts of tea and ate lots of Vitamin C to ward it off. While I was at the grocery store, I found a really cool travel mug for my tea. It's the little things.

6. On Thursday, I got a significant amount of work-work done sooner than I had planned. This was happy for me. I also spent some time working on the book and outlining key issues that I'll need to address later. Like those nasty things called tense and point of view.

5. Also on Thursday, I went to the archives. The archives is parent's house. I searched for my Shakespeare anthology. (Most of my books are at my parents house because that's the last place I lived with book shelves.) I found it, and some random stuff from when I lived in Chicago.

4. Friday I was still really sick. I spent all of Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday sleeping. When I did get up to eat... I ate Lucky Charms. That's it. That's all ate all weekend. It was like being seven again.

3. On Saturday, I watch morning cartoons. Oh childhood.

2. Worked more on the writing thing. It's harder than it looks!

1. I lost six pounds over the weekend. Being sick is the best diet.
