on the plus side:

I'm cocooned in warm laundry, my nieces are continually adorable, day 8 is coming to a close and it stays at 8 (no 0's here, nuh uh). Failbooking.com continues to be excellent, if a little painful to read given the amount of spelling and grammatical errors inherent on such a website. Twin Peaks remains excellent, my English homework is mostly done (I just need to type it up, which is what I've been telling myself I'll do for the past two hours--I got a little derailed). Grades are good, the weather is getting warmer, the aforementioned laundry provides lots of clean socks, my hair looked good today, things are out of my control and while I'm nowhere near ok with that, I at least recognize that's the case. I've got people who love me and I love them.
