Happiness, dammit

slipjig3Last night during the wee hours I had an unfortunate bout of severe misplaced sorrow, the sort where you want to put your head against the wall and cry for an hour or two out of the loneliness and regret that came out of absolutely nowhere for absolutely no reason. I eventually got to sleep, but seeing as how I don't want a relapse I have elected to fill tonight's post with Things to Be Happy About.
1) Thanksgiving! I never did write about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was awesome. Day after Thanksgiving was also awesome. More story than time to tell it, but suffice it to say, awesome.
2) Crossword puzzles! I received an email over the weekend from Paula Gamache writing on behalf of Will Shortz, telling me that the Sunday puzzle I'd sent in to the New York Times three months ago has been accepted! Squee! Not even any rewrites! I'm dancing in my seat right now! Right now! (More news as to when it'll run as soon as I have the information.)
3) Insurance! I finally got the paperwork on the health insurance I just received, and am now going through the find-a-primary-care-provider tango, which is a far cry better than the I-can't-afford-a-doctor's-visit-maybe-my-pneumonia-gout-smallpox-and-two-broken-arms-will-go-away cha-cha.
4) Birthdays! We're celebrating no fewer than three major birthdays this weekend, those of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
belgatherial, cluegirl (belatedly), and my daughter Abbey, who will reach the quasi-mythical age of 15 on Saturday. I know, right?
5) This! This makes me ridiculously happy. I lost it at the "guess why the bus isn't running?" bit.
