H is for Happiness. The happiness of a dear friend, her new husband,
and her two best friends, getting married in Vegas! By Elvis! In fabulous
outfits! Congrats again, kids! Happiness=health. A certain bunny's sexy
new blood cells and you better believe we're fuckin' happy about it! Although,
for the record, the words "blood in urine" sound just a little less dire
when coupled in the same sentence with "magna-doodle". I'm just sayin'.
Love ya, bunny, keep on keepin on! Happiness comes from an anonymous note
saying you're special, or a fan letter from Japan saying hey, I like your
writing. Happiness is not having a period. Ever ever again. I'm not using
the plumbing, why can't they just rip it out? Happy to have taken a week
off. Not so happy that nothing seems resolved at casa del homos. I should
mention for the record that happiness is two kinds of ice cream, finding
your skate key and tying your shoe (If you're not a Charlie Brown fan,
you won't get that). Happiness is that feeling you get when you repot a
plant and it doesn't immediately die. When you post a chapter of a story
knowing the next one's almost done. Happiness is knowing I don't have to
be on the phones this Monday, and that in another week we'll be training
and working morning shifts again. Happiness can be found in a painting,
an invitation, a silly quiz, a remembered quote or sharing favorite movies
and songs. Still, happiness costs, and I know I'll be much happier on payday.
