Yes, I know today is Thanksgiving. I’m a contrary person. Today I thought about three things I am unthankful for, because I have been a bitter, bitter girl lately.

1. People asking me when we are going to start having children: This is a tough one for me. I won’t go into great detail, but I never wanted kids and my husband does. You’d think we’d have worked that out before marriage but there you go. His mother is the kind of person who thinks not wanting kids is a mental health issue. Holidays are not pretty.

2. Reorgs: As I posted previously, reorgs suck. That is all I have to say on the subject.

3. All the unfinished home improvement projects: I’m like the anti-Ozymandius. I look on our lack of works, ye mighty, and despair.

And then, you know what? I started thinking about ways to fix these things. I came to no conclusions (yet–except that we need a contractor, a raise, and some duct tape, but not necessarily in that order) but sometimes, it’s good to think of things from the opposite perspective.

And for the record: I am grateful to have family that cares enough to ask about my life. I am grateful to have a job that doesn’t make me want to throw up every morning (Ive had that in the past, oh boy howdy) and I’m grateful I own my own home finally.

So what are you ungrateful for? And, more importantly, when are you going to get off your duff and start fixing it?
