Sometimes writing is like pulling out teeth. Ugh.

I've spent the past 2 hours getting a total of 90 words. 90! That's 6 lines. Absolutely pathetic - and now I shall procrastinate by writing a list of 10 things that make me happy today as suggested by rabiagale - and no, writing will not be one of them:

1. Biology drama. I have ants farming aphis on my chili plant in the green house. Since it's a ladybird year and ladybirds are notorious aphis eaters, I thought I'd transfer some onto my chili plant - and it worked. Ladybirds could not believe their luck and started gobbling aphis - right until ants discovered the predators among their livestock and attacked the poor ladybirds, who then promptly retreated

2. I trimmed the blackberry bush, weeded and feel very accomplished

3. Did laundry

4. Lia who came to us as a puppy with extreme food aggression is quietly gnawing her rawhide bone with Orlando snoozing and cuddling right next to us

5. The phone hasn't rung a single time

6. Twinning's Earl Grey and chocolate chip cookies

7. The drain from the kitchen running under our basement floor into our sewage system appears to no longer be blocked after the very stinky and disgusting mucking out I had to do the other evening

8. It's Sunday and Lia let me sleep until 11:00

9. I have a gorgeous, sexy, loving, kind, funny, intelligent gentleman husband

10. I feel good...nana nana na na na, I knew that I would now...
