  1. Oura’s sleep insights are really helpful, actually.
  2. Air conditioner! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, so glad for this purchase.
  3. I think Lisa has been able to get some promotional FFXIV stuff from the bubble tea place that’s doing a collaboration, which should be neat.

  1. The easel has landed! (upteenth anniversary of the Moon landing today, and I finished the construction of my home-made easel, so it was hard to resist the pun)
  2. Thought we’d lost one of the cats, but they appeared safely out of a flower bed after 30 minutes of increasingly frantic searching, with a puzzled expression as if to say “what are you all rushing about for???”
  3. If I pay enough attention, my chess isn’t so bad

  1. I managed to have what Oura characterised as a restorative day yesterday (for the first time!), despite a walk and packing it quite full with work and studying. Needless to say, I’m trying organising my day in the same way again.
  2. Lisa has grudgingly admitted that we both do feel better for the amount/timing of sleep we’re getting as prompted by the Oura ring. :laughing:
  3. Have remained pretty chill about something that I would at one point have found terribly upsetting. Hurrah!

  1. Husband’s work trip flight went as planned despite so many other flights being delayed.
  2. Silver lining gratitude: the basement carpet is still damp from flooding last week. Because of this, my husband finally agreed with me to get rid of it. (I’ve never cared for it.)
  3. A good friend and I are doing a duet in an upcoming community theater project. Her Facebook memories popped up a video of a choreography we did together 15 years ago, and absolutely loved, that would be perfect for this project. I was skeptical of my ability to re-learn it, but my skepticism was misplaced (at least so far, still have to get the last sequence back in my muscle memory.)

  • i’m grateful that a work phone call turned out super well. (i didn’t expect it to go badly, it was just one of these unexpected phone calls that i hate, so it’s always extra nice when they turn out okay.)

  1. I went way over my limit for buying new books, and that’s okay. A little budget reshuffle (including $10 for paying for the derailment once I update my catalogue) and it’s fiiine. And I had fun.
  2. Maybe a fun birthday idea.
  3. A rest day.
