Lovely walk to the school (well, most of the way on my part, but I got to sit in a pretty wooded area while I waited for them) with my husband and son!

  1. I’m fairly solidly into the next 100-range in my chess ranking (although I still vary a lot on puzzles, which isn’t so great)

  2. The waiting list for speech therapy moved faster than expected and my son has appointments on the books.
  3. The new side table I bought to put beside my desk is the perfect size to hold my sometimes used stuff without crowding the room.

  1. The improvements/tweaks Dad made to my bike really do help! Now the magnet to hold it together when folded properly engages and doesn’t slip so easily, for instance.
  2. Was able to use my store credit from Bookloop to pre-order a book I’m interested in (The Bookshop, The Draper, The Candlestick Maker: A History of the High Street by Annie Gray).
  3. An evening off raiding.

  1. Lisa’s getting me a treat when shopping today.
  2. Finally started watching the Heaven Official’s Blessing donghua with Lisa. The subtitles are hilariously bad (Ling Wen keeps being referred to as “Wingman”, Mount Yujun as “Mount Eugene”, and I can’t remember the others but it’s just… bad), but that’s fine. We’re watching the dub anyway.
  3. Finding a helpful video for pronouncing all the names in Heaven Official’s Blessing. Some I’ve been getting right (Hua Cheng, for instance), but others are a bit more tricky.

Just thought of a small silver lining from chemo: my shower drain hasn’t slowed down in like a year :joy:

  1. Library has more holds waiting for me. :joy:
  2. Recklessly saying “sometimes my Beeminder goal isn’t the most important” and planning to derail in order to start reading a bunch of books at once, just for fun. Sometimes I get too stuck in my head to do this kind of thing, but friends encouraged me to, and… yep, I’m really enjoying my impulsive reading. (Primarily Sorcery & Cecilia, by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, right now.)
  3. Having the disposable income to just… try new games, if I want to.
