The Lows: Nights up until 4 am finishing papers (already?), no time for grocery shopping so eating crap ,work making me a basket case when the lab is full and I have no answers to give, crying during class over XML code and Linux, our dark cave of an apartment, being beat out for the little house by someone who got their application in 1/2 an hour before us...
and then, a gift of a day like Today.

All important assignments for the week turned in.
A cute outfit with red mary-janes.
The perfect songs coming up on my iPod.
Work slow and sweet and easy and I could even answer the questions.
My Boss telling me unexpectedly (this is a paraphrase) that I am Awesome.
The sky so deep and blue and the sun shining.
A feature on Portland food and restaurants in today's NY Times that made me wistful but didn't make me want to board the next plane back.
Listening to "Fresh Air" the streaming Edinburgh Student Radio Station which played every song and more that I wanted to hear today. So good!
Meeting AH on a patio for drinks after work where the waiter was honestly shocked when I didn't order a beer because I was pregnant - "Seriously? 'Cause you don't look like it at all" and then he brought me, unasked, a Shirley Temple with five cherries. And a giant dish of poutine.
Coming home to ANTM where I wept a little for Heather and totally called Mila going home first.
Now the most pressing question on my mind is why Josh Schwartz is obsessed with vacant blondies for his leading ladies and detailing the lives of parents in teen TV.
And, sappyy as it sounds, a heart as full as the moon outside.
