My son, who is five, is devouring books and excelling at math. All that time we spent together is paying off.
I’m about to self-publish my first book.
I’m going to start working with a very promising new client.
It’s going to be my 10 year anniversary this summer. Might not sound like a win, but my father has been married 5 times, so I consider it a win that I learned as much from a bad example as a good one.
I broke some stuff yesterday. Trees, ceramics, a big rock. It was fun.
The MRSA infection I’ve been dealing with seems to be on track to heal.
What?! That’s amazing! Reading AND math? Maybe then he can can come teach me. I need all the help I can get. Ya’ll are fantastic parents!
WHAT?!!?!? I’m so excited for you! What genre? How did I not know this? More info!
Awesome to hear this! Hope it’s a good one!
Oh, that for sure sounds like a win! Any celebration plans? I regret not making a big deal out of our 10 year anniversary. We haven’t learned how to properly celebrate things. So I hope you two go all out.
One of my new year’s resolutions was to stop complaining about weather, and so far I think I haven’t indulged in it. If so, it’s been a rare occurrence.
This was a big problem when walking our dogs every day. I couldn’t control my thoughts or the dread of going out in the (sometimes) pitch black, icy mornings for 40 minutes with dogs who meander and sniff everything instead of walking forward with purpose.
So, in case this becomes a problem again, note to self on hating cold weather:
Have hand warmers or “hot hands” packets ready. Frozen fingers hurt.
Think of cold weather as training. Lean into the discomfort (barring potential hypothermia or frostbite).
Shovel snow or take a hot shower before walking in the cold. Do something that will raise body temperature first.
Definitely a small win, but I feel weirdly accomplished. After relying on dedicated rice steamers for years (and their possibly not-good-for-you nonstick coatings), I learned to make it with the classic method.
I appreciate this win for multiple reasons. Your stovetop rice is killer! Also, we get to avoid the suspicious inner lining of the rice cookers that seems to scrape off over time.
Yay!
