The aha moment this morning when I determined the reason for yesterday’s weird nap…sometimes I get sick. Didn’t occur to me at the time. Hahaha!
Cozy day with blankets, cats, and books.
Lots and lots of sleep. 🙂

Appreciations 4.29
The sound of the rain on the roof. Makes everything feel so cozy inside, just right for drinking a nice cup of coffee and working, and later, a drinking a nice cup of tea and working, and even later, drinking another cup of tea and snuggling up with a purring feline. 😉
Alison’s “let’s get a photo” mantra. I never think to do that — and thanks to Alison, we always get some great shots of our outings. Thank you, my sweet friend! ❤
Standing in the freshly cleaned kitchen, turning out the lights, and looking out at the stained glass windows of the church through the dark branches of the trees. Beautiful.
Appreciations 4.7
Still having fun today remembering last night’s visit with Pam! We had so much fun talking about songs and words and books and ways to continue on a path of growing and learning. 😉
These words: Ensorcelled, insouciant, inexorable, encharm, penchant, loquacious, obsequious, saucy.
Luna and her joyful “playing” with Ruby the other day. 😉
Making more progress on the decluttering/downsizing… a whole bag of papers for the recycling bin today!
The fun of listening to Winnie the Pooh while I worked today. Still one of my favorite books!
My mom’s AMAZING zucchini cake… and the fact that she made a gluten-free batch for us. Yum!!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 362
Toby, who is loving the makeshift nest that appears each day when I move all the stuff out of my room in order to paint. 😉
Another lovely, rainy day. It’s fun to have a change from all the hot sunny weather we’ve been having.
Sweet friends saying hi and checking in – just when I need it!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 358
1st coat of color on both room #2 AND room #3…. Getting close to the finish line on this round of home improvement projects!
Joking with the hygienist Hai during my appointment today. I love that dental appointments can be fun. 🙂
Getting to spend a little time with my folks today. Dad is getting a little better every day!
Sweet and funny messages that come at just the right time. ❤
Luna, for moving to sit right on the corner. Twice! And Cina, for both noticing this habit and encouraging Luna to continue the practice.
Appreciations Year Three: Day 347
Toby, making the most of my recently unpacked bag. At least someone is getting some use out of it this weekend! 😛
Quick little side-job today: painting the baseboard trim in the upstairs bathroom… it’s only been waiting for paint for two years…
Little projects that are satisfying and distracting.
Listening to Cina & Katie reading Nimona out loud. So much cuteness!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 340
The amazing (if somewhat terrifying) Luna. Bwahahaha! Thanks for the photo, Cina!
More progress on the room – 2nd coat on walls and trim! I was gonna post pics, but guess what? It looks exactly the same as yesterday. Hahaha! 😉
Painting with Mckenzie – we make a good team. Just when I’m getting sick of painting trim, he’s ready to stop rolling the walls, so we just switch jobs. Perfect!
Movie at the Riverview with Katie & Cina and the Delaneys. Spending time with these beautiful people fills my heart right up. ❤
The most awesome Lemonade and Rock stand we passed on the way home. We didn’t stop, but have it on good authority that the lemonade was refreshing and cool. 😀
Dinner with Laura and the Toms and Katie and Cina. I’m so excited that Jeff & Laura are moving back to MN. Fun!!
Miraculously fast errands after painting tonight… still got home before 11. All the green lights on Lyndale!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 317
What? Another beautiful day with sunny skies and perfect temperatures? Mmhmm. Yes. Just the thing for a nice walk to the coffee shop with Katie! Oh, and pretty flowers along the way, that’s a bonus. 🙂
Weirdo Toby, putting himself in some kind of kitty time out between the shower curtains. Hahahaha!
A day with so many hours there was plenty of time for everything: work, socializing, household tasks (and miraculously smooth and fast errands – three stops and back home in under and hour!!) Awesome!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 201
Having practiced changing my thoughts enough that I can usually catch an anxious/crabby/out-of-sorts day at the start and find a happier thoughts before the grumpies take hold. Yay!
Timing and plans and things all working out in the best possible way.
Lunakitty’s interesting new vocabulary. Funny new sounds!
Appreciations Year Three: Day 180 – the geek edition (as if there’s only one of these!)
This cat purr noise generator site. Seriously, so much fun — and surprisingly calming to run in the background during the work day.
The thrill of adding new code to the JavaScript file using the Chrome Dev Ed and committing the changes and pushing them to my GitHub repo so Dave can see them. ALL ON MY OWN. See me learning fancy new stuff?! Fancy new IMPORTANT stuff. How else would I come up with the idea for a story about a “remarkably unremarkable scullery maid who must tame the fierce dragon Kolwandon to liberate Prince Darling”? 😛
Pretty snow – light and fluffy and not so much that it causes problems. 🙂
