Good Things

I’ve reached the part of my evening where I’m assessing when is too early to go to bed on a weekend. Which is to say, it’s probably never too early to go to bed. But dropping a note of just a few good things, today:

  • Dinner from Super Fusion 2.
  • This dog and this blanket.
  • Squash soup with stirred in Rancho Gordo Domingo rojos.
  • Friend Zooms.
  • The Mandalorian.
  • Queen’s Gambit.
  • Leigh Bardugo books.
  • My family making their (first) Turkey of the week. “It’s just six pounds!” (Me, giving them all a side-eye.)
  • Anticipation and savoring of Ore-nells delivery (the holiday itself will be zoomed.)
  • BEAN CLUB DELIVERY.
  • Puppy snuggles.

Enjoying fall leaves and the temperate weather, we walked three miles and change this afternoon and it was lovely.

Here’s to recharging and rest.

:: Self reminder: It’s okay that GOOD THINGS are really just a collection of small good things, sort of on repeat, because we’re living in a pandemic, and frankly recurring simple joys are important at all times of life.

:: I *love* a good pun. There’s nothing I love more than rolling in with a timely pun. I’d say 1/3 of my twitter replies are puns and I’m happy with that.

:: Bertram’s backyard play date with Sawyer, his bestie.

:: Squash soup for lunch. For dinner I wanted the flavors of Mississippi Roast without the time commitment, so I bathed a piece of beef in Trader Joe’s Green Goddess dip, and a half jar of pepperonici, covered with foil, and cooked in my convection toaster for a few hours. Delicious.

:: Book club. We’re reading “Who not How” (affiliate link).

Important question: Charcuterie Chalets. Heaven or Horror?

Touch your nose…. and stretch!

Today:

  • Reconnecting with a friend I hadn’t talked to in years, and finding ourselves in parallel tracks. Always fun to see how groups of people who went through some formative time together share traits even though they have been apart.
  • I worked through lunch. I try not to do that! I snacked on almonds and ended up having a very late snack of Joseph’s lavash stuffed with fromage pavé, which was a good consolation.
  • MOVE: In the evening: a cold walk, a short run, and then Yang to Yin class with Niki. I try not to stack like that but I had a lot to get through today!
  • Dinner was a new Trader Joe’s Korean-ish rice dish from the freezer aisle because I couldn’t be bothered to do any more than reheat.
  • Trivia! The highlight of my Thursday!
  • Flowers: some mums I have to put in a container before going to sleep tonight!
