Sooner: year one

Benrick's specific direction was to assess my blessing's scientifically, so that involved another Benrick quiz.  For each listed blessing there was a score to go along with it.  Once I'd tallied my score I found out my level of blessing.  I reproduce the quiz for you here so you can play along.  The first number are the points for having that blessing, the second is my total.
 
Are you alive?  10/10
Are you in good health?  9/9
Do you have a partner?  7/0
Do you have regular sex? 6/0
Do you have children?  3 per child/0
Do you have a roof over your head? 5/5
Can you feed yourself and your family?  5/5
Do you have a steady job? 3/3
Are you free from racial or sexual discrimination?  5/5

Sooner's Total = 50. 
 
According to Benrick if you score more than 40 points you are luckier than 90% of the human race.  I'm scientifically very blessed.
 
Today I will write a letter to a local newspaper.
