Just so you don't think I have to drug my cats to find a little cheer, here are some more cheerful things.
One of the suck things that happened earlier this week was my car springing a coolant leak. Such a lack of consideration, especially since I bought it a new radiator last month. I took it back to the shop and they discovered that the leak was from a clamp which had worked loose. They tightened it up, did a pressure check, and today they delivered my car to my house, saving me a walk down to Shockoe Bottom, where the shop is. Also, no charge (they're the ones who did the radiator). Island Import Service is now officially our favorite garage.
Today I finished my allotted work before lunchtime. Since I have no need to get ahead on this assignment, I took the afternoon off. I did no chores.
Tonight at the bookstore we found a marked down book on cemetery iconography. Very handy for when you just have to know why they put chipmunks on tombstones. I looked through the section on animals and found that all the cute furry creatures we like best are symbols of Satan! I had no idea we were aligned with the dark powers.
On Wednesday, a day with more than its share of suckage, we had wildly scattered showers which gave us fabulous and varied thunderheads, many of which had my favorite bunny shape.
