things that keep me going

Chocolate, phone calls with my 6 month old niece, and the vague promise that I might get to sleep in at least one day this weekend.

[Postscript - also, eyecream! Can't live without eyecream! Or lunesta! Thank the gods for lunesta!]

[Post-postscript - attention from a particular cute man also totally helps. I think this might be a less embarrassing way to state this. Ahem...]
