OK, now I’m going to write down the good things that have happened today, and hopefully it’ll balance out.

1.  I had a pretty impressive (and well-deserved) coffee this morning. 

2.  The colectivo I broke off all my nails to climb into happened to be going to my exact destination, no need to change taxis in Urubamba.

3.  Cute baby on the ill-fated bus to Chinchero.

4.  I managed to have an entire conversation in Spanish without sounding like an idiot, and I only had to use sign language once.  It was a pretty technical term, too!

5.  I started reading another really great book.

6.  In my afternoon of online security drama, I discovered that only my google and facebook accounts have been breached.  I was able to change the passwords on all my other sensitive accounts.  With the help of my trusty blog commenters, I’ve also been able to piece together the exact nature of what went wrong, and honestly it could have been a lot worse. 

7.  Thanks to mint.com, I was reassured that the hackers do not have access to my money.  I can continue to keep an eye on this, and I’ll have a perfect record of transactions if anything goes awry in the next 24 hours.  Mint.com is the best financial site EVER.  You should totes sign up with them.

8.  Not only did I successfully buy nail clippers without sounding like an asshole, they only cost $0.60. 

9.  I fucking LOVE Ollantaytambo.  It’s a great place to spend 3 aimless days.

10.  The people at my Ollantaytambo hostel remembered me and have been super nice.  Probably because most people (including me, last week) only come here because it’s a good stepping stone to Machu Picchu.  Return visitors get mucho amor.

11.  Have I told y’all how beautiful the Sacred Valley is? 

12.  I haven’t been robbed in real life.  Just digitally.  And only data was stolen.  I need to keep telling myself this — I feel violated due to how much I rely on my google account for basic aspects of everyday life.  But it’s just information.  It’s just information.  It’s just information.

13.  There.  My day was at least as good as it was bad, and the bad stuff is mostly whining complainy-pants bullshit.
