Gratitude journaling together

  1. New webcam works well to let me do Focusmate without having to sit weird so my laptop webcam can see.
  2. Medical thing for someone else is not as big a deal as it might’ve been.
  3. Feeling pretty certain my parents will help loads with something upcoming. I’m really lucky.

  1. I felt really sick last night but I think I’m okay now, and I managed to sleep okay.
  2. Feeling determined to finish a whole bunch of books in the next three days for my reading challenge. It’s nice to feel enthused and not just tired about this kind of thing (though if that changes, I’ll abandon the idea without hesitation; reading is meant to be fun).
  3. Due to disconnections my raid group couldn’t get through the raids we needed to reclear last night, but one member already went back and tried again and got the clear so we can get into the next one at least.

  1. Finally today my dad is able to come over and clean the shower. I can’t wait, honestly, it’s got so icky, and my left-handed scrubbing has been completely ineffective.
  2. Being bloody-minded and making half a dozen Beeminder goals to try to complete my BookSpinBingo card for this month. I look so far off right now, but I think I’m gonna make it!
  3. It’s my half-day!

  1. Plans for today are mostly reading, reading, and more reading, and Lisa’s supportive of that, wooo.
  2. The shower is so clean now!
  3. My new light-blocking sleep mask seems to be helping me stay asleep a bit longer in the morning.

  1. I managed to finish my BookSpinBingo card, in part thanks to Beeminder. I read so much, I loved it.
  2. We have a fortnightly reminder in Tody for “Uhoh, surprise inspection! What needs tidying?” to make us focus on small tidying tasks that don’t necessarily get covered by the other tasks. This way we hope to keep things pretty tidy and organised. So far it seems to be working? Today was the reminder and there really wasn’t much we needed to do.
  3. My wrist feels pretty okay today? It couldn’t take my weight, but it doesn’t hurt!

  1. Local thrift store sale rack had a ton of cute t-shirts that are just a smidge too big on my daughter now, but will probably fit her soon. Son also found some shorts that fit him.
  2. Picked up some workout DVDs while I was at the thrift store. The one I tried first was a pilates video that is exactly the type of workout I enjoy, where you get in a specific pose and try to maintain it while moving a single part of your body a few inches by activating muscles you don’t normally think about. Something about this just tickles my brain.
  3. Husband is able to take the afternoon off work to take the kids to the dentist because I was getting medical appointment overload.

  1. A little gift I sent a friend was well received.
  2. A little gift I sent another friend was also well received.
  3. Relatedly, I am having a lot of fun with a little game called Sticky Business where you design and sell stickers, unlocking little stories from the people who buy from your shop. Here is my favourite so far:

  1. Apparently my sleep has been really good lately, according to Oura. I usually feel pretty okay regardless of how well it thinks I’ve slept, but it does look like some of my metrics have improved a bit, which is nice.
  2. Realised that I can get the London Review of Books via RSS feed and read it on my PC if I want to, rather than in the magazine format. I’ll probably still flip through the magazine (via my library on Libby) to check I didn’t miss anything.
  3. Lots of plans for reading and gaming today.

  1. The world junior figure skating championships were fantastic! I apologize right now if there is somehow a figure skating fan here who I’m going to spoil it for: Holy !@#$, Shimada Mao ends her junior career undefeated with a final, nail-biting championship despite being sick. What a legend.
  2. Got some work done today as well, not much but I think I did what I needed to do, so I’m feeling a bit less stressed about things.
  3. Dinner today was delicious!

  1. Mum will take me to the dentist appointment tomorrow (and hold my hand and monitor me for flashbacks while the work is being done).
  2. Simone will cover the afternoon so I don’t have to go back to work afterwards.
  3. I think… maybe… things might really be improving a bit with my wrist.

  1. Son’s 504 meeting went well. Accommodations we requested were all approved by the high school and he will be able to use them for freshman year.
  2. Been enjoying the Captain of Industry early access.
  3. Daughter’s reading skills are getting so much better thanks to speech therapy. She gets so frustrated during the sessions, but they really are paying off.

  1. I do have the ready money to handle it when my dentist unexpectedly doubles the price of a procedure.
  2. A thing happened for a friend which is sad and difficult for her but needed to happen, so while I feel for her, I’m also glad.
  3. Having a set lunch hour is proving good for getting reading done, both magazines and books.

  1. I think my new fillings might be settling down a bit? Maybe I won’t need to go and get them adjusted! This might be wishful thinking, but at least it suggests the problem is minor.
  2. Another lazy day planned.
  3. Generally being enthused about reading and gaming; it’s nice to see that coming back, when I look back at how little I gamed last year other than Final Fantasy. Having time again post-degree is lovely.
