Gratitude on the go! 6-22-13

Today I am grateful for:
-not having anywhere to be until the evening.
-this tree falling into the street and not on anyone's house:

Our neighbor's tree.
The storm did it last night.
So grateful it feel out into the street and no one was hurt. 

-my bike. I biked to uptown to go try to find some power. It was still pretty much dark everywhere in my neighborhood. A lot of people had the same idea.
-Someone telling me there was an open outlet behind a photo booth in Calhoun Square. I took advantage of that to juice up.
-Wallgreens being open. I bought some extra power strips and brought it to the coffee shop that had power as well as Calhoun Square. No one should be denied access to charge up where there's power.
-The really nice service people at Brugger's Bagels. They brought a smile to my face on a rather gloomy day.
-padre letting me borrow his car.
-taking a little nap. Although the porch was nice, I really didn't sleep for that long out there. It was more of a half sleep.
-Amanda letting come over for the afternoon to relax and charge my phone. Still with no power at my place. I told her about my car and how I was sad. Again, I felt heard and that she understood how I felt. We watched an episode of medium and an Awful movie called Highway. Woof. However, she also said I could come over later in the night to stay at her place if my power didn't go back on. Spoiler alert, it doesn't.
-Zarah checking in on me to see how everything was going.
-A fun show and a incredible set. It was secrets of the city and so we had a special set in the ETC. It was packed. Standing room only. Not only that, it was free so a lot of people who had never even heard of the workshop came to the set. And it was a kick ass set. Super fun short form. Really great montage. Lots of different characters and some sweet call backs.
-Amanda not getting hurt when a semi truck tried to run her off the road.
-Amanda letting me come over and spend the night. Although, haha, about a half hour after I got there the power went out. I must be jinxing the city. We just went outside and laughed because at that point what else can you do?
-Ruth offering to both Amanda and I stay at the place that she's housesitting. It was glorious. AC, air mattress and a ton of laughter. Again, because what else could you do.
-laughter. It really is a stress releaser.
-Swearing. Swearing is a stress releaser too. :)
-the basics
-as always, my friends. And lets be honest, I have some pretty incredible friends if tonight is any indication.
