Focus on the good. Focus on the now, not the future. Focus on the good.

Good things

Advil and heating pads are fantastic for back pain and cramps. So is stretching. I need to do more of the latter, since I'm getting close to a safe limit on the former.
The coffee cart in my building has a raspberry white chocolate mocha. It's amazing.
My headphones are awesome at blocking out the surrounding chaos. I don't have to listen to the conversations in the offices next to mine (thin walls and loud people). I also don't have to hear the white noise of the office.
William Shakespeare's Star Wars. This is a thing. It is an amazing thing. I just got the audiobook. It has a full cast. It is the best thing.
Hugs from my Emi. She can be SUCH a pill and so freaking difficult and then super sweet. She's a kid, I get it, these things happen.
Hugs from my Ox. He goes from being a TOTAL trouble maker to a snugglebug in about three seconds. He's constantly testing boundaries and trying to see what he can get away with.
Post-Modern Jukebox. They exist. This makes the world better.
Having time this afternoon to just do work. I doubt it'll remain "free" for long, but it's nice to not be on a call or getting yelled at about something.
Coming home to hot food. This is especially wonderful after a long day and a snowy drive home.
The cafeteria at work. I'm continually amazed by the quality of the food and the wonderfully subsidized price.
I have an appointment on Saturday to get my peacock colored. Yay pain and beauty! Woo!
Tea
Friends
Coworkers who understand my sense of humor and who don't judge me for being a huge nerd and having an extensive list of odd hobbies. And who let me go from talking about pen and paper RPGs to complaining about NFL playcalling in the same breath (WHAT THE HELL, SEAHAWKS?!?! GIVE THE FREAKING BALL TO LYNCH. NONE OF THIS FANCY CRAP).
Having a team lead who wants to work with me to make my workload more of what I want to do and love doing and less of the soul-killing. And who listens. And pushes me. And is generally awesome.
Having our free dance time in class be to a string quartet playing Metallica. It felt good.

Wow. That was way more good things than I thought I could come up with today. I still kind of hate the world and want to get off, but there are good things.
