Only one thing to be grateful for today

summerlady this morning. I didin't feel much like being grateful when I got up. I - again - have been up since 4:00 and I keep thinking it feels like there's a tomato in my brain (a tornado, really, but that's just the way my brains working this morning.)
However, on my way to work this morning, whilst slowing for a yellow light, a boom truck behind me - a mother flicker of a boom truck, either assumed I was going to run the yellow or he wasn't paying attention. The 30 foot black skid marks punctuate the fact that he stopped no more than a mere one inch from the back of my wee little Mazda. If being rear-ended by a monster boom truck wouldn't have hurt enough, being broadsided by cross traffic wouldn't have hepled the situation, I'm sure.
But he didn't hit me. So I'm grateful.
And I think I will spend the rest of the day under my desk.

If you're not, go put on another pot of coffee and tell me what's in the news today. Did you hear about the star that they found that they figure is something like a gajillion caret diamond?
