1: outer wilds! thank you, @Scoll@mastodon.social ^◡^ a new source of dopamine, always welcome 2: pup-pup is already showing signs of feeling better, which is a huuuge relief for my anxious doggy-mama heart (he is pictured below with his funny lying-down-ears) 3: lentil soup, made by my good friend, given to me because she had too many leftovers; it was very, very yummy #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings@3goodthings@fedigroups.social#dogsofmastodon #dogs

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

1. Today was hubby's last workday. He is joining me in retirement.

2. I took a bunch of craft supplies to the reuse center and household goodies to the charity shop. It's so good to pass along what has become clutter.

3. A flat-pack file cabinet has arrived. I thought that I could avoid having one, but had to acknowledge that it is needed. I will put it together tomorrow.

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings

1. Laundry freshly cleaned, dried, and neatly folded.

2. Rain, again.

3. Enough steps get out of breath.

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1) Had a PT session that went so well I can ditch the walker 2) No fatalities in the NOLA river boat accident 3) I'm retired from IT and only have to deal with tech if and when I want to

Hey, Good news I was not arrested today for anything ! ... Push this for 2 more good things: I'm not dead. I matter to at least 1. Goodnight. #ThreeGoodThings#SAD #FreeTheSun

#threegoodthings

• first time ever at a choir rehearsal 😱
• made a little progress on my master thesis (it's going forward step by step)
• talked to a friend I haven't talked with in YEARS

And as a bonus:

• used some breaks in between working on my thesis to put some bulbs into the pots on my balcony so they will hopefully bloom in spring, and found some treasures burried by the squirrels, and got some sunshine in 🌄

1. Wrote peek-a-boo, a little helper to help me undisable my SUPER SECURE disabled laptop camera quickly for video meetings.

2. I have a bed now.

3. Also totally unaffected (productivity-wise, I dumped them in 2009 when they dumped me on maternity leave) but howling with laughter over the Microsoft thing because karma seems to have a sense of humor.

#ThreeGoodThings (1) #JenPsaki got herself quite a scoop (2) Snow in New England (yes, this time of year I approve -- it will get tiresome later, I agree) (3) #YouCanSeeEverything was actually a great doc -- the honors it is getting are deserved.

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

1. Another 1000 words written
2. Clean sheets on the bed
3. Totally unaffected by the MS outage

Three things I am grateful for this morning:

1. I am grateful I am getting better at speaking up when something just doesn't feel right.

2. I am grateful that I am getting into the habit of speaking kindly to myself first thing in the morning.

3. I am grateful to be seeing people ask for help and receive that help from their community. It shows me that I too can do that and that I am deserving of getting that need met.

#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings 1) Gorgeous sunset out my office window this evening. 2) Rain tomorrow! (We really need it. Just hope we don’t get too much all at once!) 3) Schadenfreude can be quite delicious, and it’s possible a little twinge of guilt over feeling good about another’s suffering - ingrained by a Catholic upbringing - might actually enhance the experience. You feel a little bad, remember that they earned it and just screw ‘em, and then get to savor their pain all over again.👌

1. i got to hang out with the cutest baby in the whole wide world tonight and i might get to hang out with him again tomorrow.

2. it was a rainy day, one of my favorite kinds.

3. hot water & electricity. gifts.

1. My face is feeling and looking way better.

2. I've decided to post in a local group about my yoga and mindfulness studio, offering mindful decluttering sessions for people overwhelmed by clutter. www.seadriftstudio.com It's taken me a long time to work up the nerve!

3. We brought a bunch of furniture over from storage, which means there's less stuff in storage, and I can put things away finally. I'm a happy bunny. Sore, but happy.

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings

1. Being unemployed, which allowed completely revamping the next week's plans twice in 4 hours, including changing reservations.

2. A beautiful wool sweater on a cool foggy morning.

3. Vanilla yogurt.

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

2. Gathered some things to take to donation locations tomorrow.
