1. I have my studies all planned out and should be able to hit my targets. Thanks, Beeminder.
2. I managed a little time playing Harvestella last night, even though it was a busy evening.
3. I slept in this morning, accidentally. It messes with my workday a bit, but it seems I needed it, so I’m glad.

1. Got my hair cut. Oof, that feels better!
2. Went for a walk while I was waiting for my ride home.
3. My tiny ereader is very handy for reading while walking, provided there’s few people around to bump into. I read 50 pages while on my perambulations!

</div>

1. My parents let me come over to work at their house to avoid the electrician. (I mean, my wife’s at home for the electrician, I just mean avoiding the disruption of it.)
2. That means I’m spending the morning working while taking occasional breaks to watch the birds in my parents’ garden. The garden is always beautiful, and my dad has taken great pains to make it friendly to birds, and is friends with some of the blackbirds in particular. (They like him because he throws them sultanas. He didn’t intend to tame them, but now they boss him around for more sultanas.)
3. My FFXIV group have finally beaten the Eleventh Circle of Pandaemonium (Savage). It’s taken us a while to catch up to other groups, but given we had no experience at the start of the tier, I’m pleased with our progress.

- self-gratitude: **i’m grateful i managed to be punctual at work today,** at 7 a.m., no less! luckily this isn’t necessary every day.
- **i’m grateful i remembered to go buy some felt after work today.**
- **i’m grateful uni is only biweekly.** not that i don’t enjoy it (i enjoy it very much), but with how much homework we get it’s good to have longer breaks to be able to chill / think more about stuff.

1. Yoghurt.
2. I’ve bought some gardening equipment and am excited for it to arrive (high-quality elbow-length gloves, a compost aerator, and shears).
3. SGQ: Some notes I wrote for myself were useful for a co-worker and were neat enough to give without changes.

- **i’m grateful going through all of today’s emails didn’t take too long.**
- **i’m grateful my duolingo subscription hasn’t run out yet.** fingers crossed i’ll be able to endure the free plan for the next half year at least, but we’ll see! if not, i should get by easily with the myriads of other resources at my disposal.

- **i’m very grateful that i ran into some friends today.** we didn’t have time to chat long, but it was so good to see them again and now there’s more concrete-ish plans to meet up toward the turn of the month. 💜
- **i’m grateful i got praised for my work today.** this was something i’d done weeks ago, but apprently i did it super well 🥰 which makes me even happier since it’s the kind of work i enjoy most.
- self-gratitude: **i’m grateful i’ve not managed to derail recently,** despite usually edge-skating on a bunch of goals each day 😬

1. Got slightly better sleep last night, by the power of giving Lisa some of just about every kind of painkiller. Less tossing and turning due to pain = better sleep for both of us.
2. We do have the disposal income for the easy meals/takeout meals we’ve had to get because Lisa’s not well enough to cook (and I am already doing a lot of stuff and can’t spend lots of time cooking). It’s not great, but we’re managing.
3. Enjoyed reading Emma Southon’s _The History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women_.

- self-gratitude: **i’m grateful that i managed to dismiss almost all beemos today before leaving the house around noon.** skritter was down at the time, so i couldn’t do that, but i’d rather do skritter practice at night than tidying. `:)`
- **i’m grateful that i found a great book for my homework.** i had had another one in mind, but i realised that wouldn’t have worked too well, so i’m really glad i found this one again! it’s so pretty! `:)` it even notes the paper it’s printed on in the imprint, which is great!
- **i’m grateful that i found something today i’d completely forgotten i had.**

1. Bananas.
2. [Ancient Life as Old as the Universe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOiGEI9pQBs) was fascinating. It speculates that life could have arisen in the very early universe, when the entire universe was at the right temperature for water to be liquid.
3. SQG: Last week two companies that I needed to report problems to thanked me for being kind.
