3 Positive Things Part 7

[gooblax]

1. Got a decent amount of sleep last night to make up for the rubbish 3hrs sleep the night before.
2. Went for a bike ride and it was only drizzling rather than raining so I didn't get wet and there wasn't too much splash-up from the road.
3. I don't have to do laundry this weekend and deal with taking it in/out depending on the rainy weather since I'm at home next week.
BONUS: My phone needs to charge so I've put it in a really inconvenient spot so that it's not easy to check for replies. When I get back from the shops I might leave it in the garage.

1. Freshly made sushi rolls (vegetarian) from the grocery store. Tasted as good as a restuarant.

2. Dentist was very nice and friendly, like last time.

3. Found a new, classical music radio station.

BONUS: Husband's shoulder has full range of motion now from only a few sessions of physical therapy, and he still has more sessions to go. He didn't have full range since a car accident decades ago.

1. The weather report I read was completely wrong so there's no rain today and I got my laundry dry without incident.
2. Had sliced baguette with tomato and camembert for brunch.
3. If counselor #2 next week goes well, and if I continue with him and can figure out the 1hr15min trip to go in person (1st session is video because the travel seems a pain for a 1st session) there's a hobby shop on the way that I could go to.

1. Got to have a shower at work after cycling! First one at work since the COVID shutdowns.
2. Didn't forget to bring anything for the shower / work clothes.
3. Had a chat with some people to start the day.

1. Got to have a shower at work after cycling! First one at work since the COVID shutdowns.

I would skip the shower to keep people 6+ feet away from me

1. Found out (accidentally) our "new" minivan has remote start.

2. Had an extra A/C window unit for our friend whose central A/C went down.

3. Second heat wave is basically over.

 

[Daniel E.]

BONUS: Did not have to evacuate since the wildfire in our town is now out. Power is back on. Elderly neighbor was grateful we checked on her. Air support was impressive, like a movie, including slurry from the air (many streets down).

1. Feeling pretty stressed and anxious but trying to remind myself that things are going to be ok and no one's going to hate me if my work isn't perfect.
2. I'm going to get myself a milo and put my headphones on because everyone's on the phone and being loud.
3. I was correct in my assessment that I wouldn't be overly invested in receiving an acknowledgment of the attempted supportive email I sent to my therapist. It was important for me to judge that one correctly so I'm glad I made the right call.

1. I don't have to ride my bike in the rain.
2. Although I didn't bring an umbrella (had incorrectly assumed it was in my backpack), I do have a raincoat and backpack cover. So just my jeans, shoes and socks will get wet.
3. The idea of just quitting therapy altogether isn't completely unappealing.

BONUS: Got a free personal trainer (elderly neighbor needed yardwork done).

 

[gooblax]

1. Sent an email and made a mistake but feel OK about it. Pleasantly surprised.
2. Called to confirm something for a different email that someone didn't reply to.
3. The work from office vs work from home stuff is a mess thanks to people who think they're too important to follow the rules, and at the moment I'm piggybacking off that mess to do what I prefer until I'm instructed otherwise.

Bonus: got my door closer installed, and only sustained a minor injury (caused by not wanting to uninstall it to tighten the loose closer arm).

1. Mini bags of microwave popcorn.

2. Found places to adjunct/teach for side money next year.

3. Learning a lot while ordering replacement car parts -- including parts I never knew existed before

1. Won my first magpie staredown of the 2020 swooping preseason.
2. Might be going out for lunch today if I get up the nerve to ask someone for a ride there and back.
3. Had a pretty good day yesterday.

BONUS: My sister-in-law is giving us her old, huge 63" TV since she is upgrading TVs.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I cannot even imagine what a tv that big must be like to watch.

 

[gooblax]

I can only imagine watching an actual TV.

I guess then you get your magpie forecasts on your phone

Probably more accurate than the TV news...
