Looking for my place on earth

I was sitting in the sun at work a few days ago - cuz everyone knows admins do squat - yeah, and a spider crawled across my fucking lap. I didn't scream, I didn't freak, no lie; I calmly brushed the spider off my lap and then watched, detached, as it crawled away, likely in search of a fat, juicy fly which it reasoned it would not find in my lap. Kudos to it for looking.

Where've I been? Plucking wings off angels at $170 an hour :) Yes I know, it's an expensive past-time and one I'm not entirely sure God would approve of, Him being in charge of the angels and wot.

But there you have it. I'm reading Toltec philosophy and learning about what's my bizness and what's not, and in the end, I think I'm just as screwed up as ever, but my hair looks absolutely fabulous in the process.

So here's my question, and I've already asked monkeyboy - on a scale of 1 to 10, one being a skosh above not at all and 10 being 100% completely satisfied, how satisfied are you with your life situation? That's everything, the whole kit and kaboodle - work, love, living situation...relationships, health, finances.

He says 7, I'm a 9.9. I've got a great job, the best I've ever had, I love my friends, I love my SO, I have the most wonderful daughters in the world. I have one outstanding issue that I wish with all my heart could be better; otherwise, I'd be a perfect 10.

So, the real question, the one I can't put on a definable scale, a scale meant to give me handles, is this - is it better to be 3 full points away from heaven or just a skosh?
