Proud to be an American (well, thankful for bathrooms, anyway)

I have not had a good week. And this morning, when it was pouring rain and I was trying to get to a conference about an hour away, I was sooo sick. (When it got to be that I was stopping every 2 miles to use a bathroom, I decided that I would not be making it to work today.) Anyhow, as miserable as I was, it reminded me that I am thankful for plentiful public bathrooms in this country! A lot of countries don't have that. Also, if you really look like you're going to vomit at any moment, pretty much every establishment will take you to their bathroom without delay. How nice of them.
