1.  My new weekend ritual hot chocolate and bread for breakfast.  The rest of the week, I try to be good with fortified cereal, etc.  But Saturday is for splurging, and my splurge is on cocoa and white flour.  Yum.  Made it easier to get up this morning, too, knowing this was waiting for me.

2.  Awakening to a whippet nose buried in your ear.  It’s not exactly comfortable, and the whistling/wheezing because she’s got her nostrils jammed into the skin of my neck isn’t exactly conducive to sleeping, but it’s adorable, and it’s so very Nellie, and it was a lovely way to wake up, all things considered.

3.  The Princess wasn’t at work yesterday.  Which made everything easier.

4.  Spotting is still *knock wood* gone.  Wow.

5.  A day of writing and laundry and possibly calling up the laboratory where all my bloodwork gets done and trying to straighten out the insanity that resulted from my RE accidentally listing the wrong insurance company on my paperwork during last summer’s horribleness.  This won’t actually be much fun, but if I actually get it sorted out, it will at least provide me with some relief from the 5am stress-fest, since this is what my head chose to obsess about this morning.  Yawn.  Then again, I might just take a nap.
