Good: Playing Counter Strike Source for an hour and a half with Clay

Not Good: Having a sinus migraine that makes you dizzy and nauseous.

Not Good: Spilling milk for the second time in two days¹.

Good: Meredith’s immediate counsel (see below).

1) Yesterday, I decided not to buy lunch at my favorite Mexican
restaurant and bought groceries instead. You know, trying to save money
and all. When I got home, I fixed myself some tortilla soup, opened my
new bag of shredded cheese, set my yogurt and granola containers nearby
in anticipation of desert, and turned on some Colbert Report. I poured
myself a nice big class of milk to go with. After my first drink, I set
the glass down on the coaster. I only got half of it on the coaster, so
the glass tipped over, pouring milk into my soup, my new bag of cheese,
all over my new box of granola, all over the coffee table and onto our
recently cleaned carpet. It was awesome.
This evening, I was fixing myself a cafe mocha. As I went to heat up
the milk in the microwave before steaming it, I clipped the bottom of
the microwave with the bottom of the cup. Milk went everywhere, inside
the microwave and cascaded on to the stovetop that I had cleaned that
afternoon. I rarely lose it, but it was so damn frustrating to spill
milk over everything that I had just finished cleaning or getting ready
two days in a row. Meredith just gave me a grin and said, “Honey, don’t
cry over spilled milk.” It was hilarious.
