  3. …and also by my in-game friends who gave me lots of in-game gifts and played basically anything I wanted all afternoon.

  1. Lazy morning reading one of my new books.
  2. Disposable income to buy silly things for my friends.
  3. Neither the electrician nor our landlord’s agent replied to us in time so too bad, so sad, we deny them access to the property today because we’re busy.

  1. Lazy morning in bed finishing two books.
  2. Successfully reduced my anxiety medication dose by a third, with a minimum of withdrawal effects.
  3. Lisa and I formed a moth-removal coalition when they invaded my office for some reason. I caught them under glasses, Lisa releasing them outside. I don’t mind the catching part, but the risk of them flying back in my face when trying to release them… ugh.

  1. This news story about how planting many native Wattle trees in a farm has improved its output as well as making a haven for native animals.
  2. Wattles have the most beautiful scent in their flowers.
  3. I’ve been sleeping better than usual lately.

  1. Exam results were out nice and early in the day.
  2. I did okay in said exams.
  3. In my reread of K.J. Charles’ books in publication order, I just got to The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal, and read it in no time. I don’t know why I’m so fond of it, but I really am.

  1. Todournament by @alltom is great for helping me get over procrastination and overwhelm when I’m tired.
  2. A question from a coworker made me realise that some code I had written was needlessly complicated, so now one of my scripts is nicer and easier to use.
  3. An outage that I discovered in one of our servers turned out to be from a coworker patching and rebooting it without telling us, rather than a disastrous breakage.

  1. Playing Heaven’s Vault with Lisa. (Thanks for the rec, @adamwolf!)
  2. My dad once made me a set of library steps that also fold into a chair, and that’s been coming in very handy so Lisa can sit in my office too.
  3. It’s been a pretty good week off.

  1. Jeremy made pikelets.
  2. Today we made a huge dent in the pile of wood waiting to be chipped.
  3. This article debunking the myth that uncooked rice can make birds “explode”. I have some rice with weevils so I can feed it to the scrub turkeys.

  1. Got Lisa a copy of Bear and Breakfast and they’re enjoying it too.
  2. Figured out how someone got infected with something. (Suffice it to say that you can get certain diseases you wouldn’t automatically think of through hospital procedures. We’re not 100% sure that was it, of course, but their doctor and a qualified epidemiologist agree that it’s likely. I feel smart!)
  3. Watching Biscuit run around boldly while we were making the bed last night. She was so curious and cute!
