That definitely counts as one of my three positive things for today 
- Thread starter gooblax
- Start date
1. Enjoyed Nesquik mixed with milk and matcha tea powder in a blender.
2. Sister-in-law visited to see the baby (before the baby leaves on Saturday).
3. A Subway in Phoenix was better than most.
BONUS: My largest dachshund is super sweet to the baby.

1. My therapy session yesterday was tough but went pretty well. (I won't be able to stop myself from elaborating in the other thread later.)
2. It's Friday, even though there's no waffles or bacon and egg sandwiches.
3. Placeholder... It's still early in the day so I'll come back to this.

From yesterday:
3. My wayward potplant palm tree survived outside the whole week without blowing over in the wind, and is still only about half dead.
For today:
1. Finished restringing my guitar, doing only 2 strings at a time every couple of days because I wanted to avoid the pain of not being able to do some sort of reasonable relative tuning. Of course now it sounds like a creepy funhouse but the strings will settle eventually.
2. Banana smoothie for breakfast. Edit: Small banana smoothie - I didn't realise I didn't have much milk left! Lucky I discovered this before going grocery shopping for #3
3. I'm having trouble deciding what I want to make for dinner tonight, which is positive because it highlights my privilege of choice.

1. Have a free AARP membership from my husband.
2. Sprite now has a zero-sugar ginger flavor that is subtle but good.
3. Going to Phoenix tomorrow, which means no cabin fever for a while.

1. Kept my phone in a different room for the past 2 nights to reduce temptation to use it when I wake up during the night.
2. Saw my current gecko (Alex) hunting a spider this morning.
3. Cycled to work (and downed 800mL of water when I got to the locker room :lol.

Nooooo I forgot my jumper today and the office is always so cold.
Will have to turn it into a bonus:
Reason to stand around outside for breaks away from my desk and the cold aircon.

1. Learned a lot online about car insurance in the last 24 hours while changing car insurance companies.
2. Got twice the liability coverage for the same price with a better-rated company (Amica), which was recommended by a relative and has 24/7 customer service.
3. Felt vindicated when I called my old car insurance company to cancel. (After waiting on hold was told to call back in the afternoon since their computers were down.)

1. Swapping back to my achievable task rather than the one that seems like trying to do a Masters thesis.
2. Trying to avoid getting caught up in the usual "quit therapy" thoughts.
3. Remembered my jumper today.

BONUS: Elated! After 20+ back-to-back paper jams, finally got my HP inkjet printer to print again. Was about to pull the plug until it started printing on its own.

I probably would have destroyed the printer Office Space style before getting anywhere near 20 times.
1. I already restocked toilet paper a couple of weeks ago so I'm not affected by the current coronavirus toilet paper hoarding madness that has gripped Australia this week. Yes, I'm just as confused as you are about why toilet paper of all things.
2. So far so good for riding my bike home today. Rained overnight and a bit this morning but shouldn't have made a giant puddle on the route.
3. I'll add another plus for noise cancelling headphones. It's so distracting here but they help.

I restocked on ginger Sprite just in case
(The regular ginger with sugar tastes better since the artificial sweetner doesn't cover the ginger taste.)

But how many orifices can you use ginger sprite with? Toilet paper can service them all!

1. Found a useful sentence in a document at work that I'd previously looked at (I think) but didn't realise had the sentence.
2. Did number 1 while drafting an email to ask someone for the information from that sentence, and if they had the document. So I didn't send the email and found the info I was going to ask for anyway.
3. Having an early lunch because everyone's having work conversations, as usual.

1. Feeling mentally weird and self sabotaging this morning but I have a drink of milo to help.
2. My uncle found some toilet paper for my parents who were running out (uncle is retired so he could go on a search yesterday for them).
3. Learning about the 'only in it for myself' mentality. I guess I was naive in not realising how pervasive and destructive it is.

1. Chickens like the "flock block" I got them of supplemental feed to peck on when they are bored.
2. Still enjoying electronic/ambient music by Tycho.
3. Enjoyed a two-course meal at a newly renovated McDonalds. (Ordered the first course at the kiosk, and the second one on my phone. When you order on the kiosk, they bring the order to your table when it is ready.)
