      A fairly short post today, for a number of reasons.  One reason is that Rita and VSC are on their way over here to hang out and play with me, and could be here any minute.   Another, probably more important reason is that today is cramp day, and I am cranky, moody, sulky, and in pain.  It's getting better, at least.  I had my good crying fit for the day, and Shorn cheered me up and made me a sandwich.  And now I have two great friends driving 30+ miles to come cheer me up some more. 

    In fact, in the last few minutes, I've come to the conclusion (once again) that my life is pretty damn good.  Sure, things can go wrong sometimes, but everything works out in the end.  Even those patches of time when nothing seems to go right eventually come to an end.  There will always be things I would like be different, but when I look at what I have--a wonderful relationship, really good friends, a nice home, and a kick-ass Amazon wish list--I feel pretty fucking lucky.
