gratitude

On Thursdays I have been blogging about the previous night's Project Runway, but last night I didn't manage to watch it. Thank goodness for TiVo! (And yes, I suppose Bravo will show the episode over and over like it always does, thanks Bravo!)

Yesterday was a crazy day, in fact the whole week is kind of nuts. But I accomplished one very good thing yesterday: I got my roof repaired, and a lucky thing too because we had a biblical-scale deluge that afternoon and evening, with more rain on the way. Can I just mention that, in general, roofers know they can charge pretty much whatever they want, and they do, and are jerks about it?? Thank goodness I found one I felt comfortable with, whose rates are somewhat less than extortion-level. If you are in the SoCal South Bay and need roof work, I highly recommend Navarro Roofing.

So while I'm appreciating the new patch of roof shingles that kept me dry and cozy through the storm, let me also celebrate:

1. eeep! Productions, the website developer that recently updated the ARTitude Zine website. This still isn't the long-rumored complete overhaul, but at least now all the available issues are represented and the shopping cart has been adjusted. So (a) feel free to order those issues you didn't know existed, and (b) talk to Tracey if you need web help -- she's a gem. 

2. Life without Diet Coke. Yeah, I'm sort of practicing reverse psychology here, because I desperately miss the zippy refreshment of my beloved beverage, but I've gone without it for three weeks now in an attempt to "eat clean." Aspartame is pretty bad news, according to what I've been reading. And as someone who is trying to manage depression without medications, I'd better try to eat simply and without chemicals. I am grateful for ice-cold water in plentiful supply and herbal teas to warm my afternoons.

3. Kittens! Oh come on, I haven't posted a photo of them in days. Cut me some slack! :) It's hard to contain this much cuteness.
