2/5
i'm thankful that though my first flight was delayed, my second flight was delayed too, so i didn't miss it. i'm thankful for how what seems like bad luck at one time can seem like good luck later.
i'm thankful for shrimp and grits, which i have had 3 times this week. i'm thankful for pinkberry, which is the best airport snack (indulgent yet not bacchanalian). i'm thankful for moscow mules.
i'm thankful for telestrations, which is my new favorite game. i'm thankful that j also brought his collection of artisanal chocolate and served as sommelier. i'm thankful for usb battery chargers and fake light switches.
i'm thankful that during the halftime show, we muted the sound and e played the song "britney's silver can" over it, the chorus of which, repeated a million times over several minutes, is "justin timberlake." i'm thankful for bricolage.
i'm thankful for my hotel room, which faced the ocean and was the site of many nice moments with dear friends. i'm thankful for beer and candy and tim tams. i'm thankful for "any non-pretzel snack," which was how h described what she was looking for.
i'm thankful for a, who gave me a loving lecture in the airport shuttle on why we should get a dog. i'm thankful to have learned about shoulder seasons. i'm thankful that i gave someone a coat she forgot and then before i left, someone this morning gave me my hoodie that i forgot.
i'm thankful that as i was waiting to leave, the sound system outside of the hotel was playing this slice of melancholy yacht rock. i'm thankful to go home, but i'm thankful i got to be here.
