10 Reasons This Monday Could Have Been a Lot Worse.....

#10 - It finally stopped raining. For a day or two. Now the weather people can stop talking about our rainfall deficit. For a day or two.

#9 - I only had three students in my first period class, and ONE in my fifth period. Seriously....they're paying me for this?

#8 - Meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. Ultimate comfort food.

#7 - Hubby's physical revealed none of the catastrophic things he expected.

#6 - My mother's knee replacement surgery apparently went well. And the hospital is apparently still standing. (She didn't want me to come.)

#5 - In the mail today I received a new $9 bicycle mount for my $400 GPS.I love Amazon. I just realized the other day that the little snap thingie that keeps the expensive gadget from flying off the handlebars was broken.

#4 - I received an email notification that one of my 50 Things to Do will now be possible. Damn, now that means I HAVE to do it. But you have to wait about three months for further information.

#3 - I don't have to worry about grading online assignments anymore. (I haven't mentioned THAT one in a while.)

#2 - One of our students who dropped off the face of the earth last semester came in this afternoon to see if he could come back and finish. (He can.) He said he didn't want to be a loser his WHOLE life.

#1 - Shhhh...... I don't want to jinx it, but the pain in my neck/back is gone. (As I read the other day, and I can't remember who said it, "I'm not superstitious.....I'm just a little stitious.") I'm still going to the chiropractor tomorrow.

Have a wonderful week!
