Three good things for today: 4/23/2025
1. Water turned on and the sprinklers are now up and running.
2. Fresh strawberries. 
3. Made spaghetti and a big batch of home-made tomato-meat sauce. That's diner for the next several days.

It has been a while for me…
1. Only 5 more days of this long term occasional position and then I will “re-retire”.
2. Glorious day for a walk with my oldest daughter and our fur-baby.
3. Pedicure day! My toes are ready for spring now!

My mom is back at the hospital again and my Dad isn’t very good at this so… I’m feeling a load of distress. But…
- I was able to get caught up at work somewhat.
- I’m making some progress with weight loss.
- the shorts I bought unseen came and they are perfect.
Now, if my parents can sort themselves…
I started listening to A People's History of Computing in the United States and it's very interesting
The PallasCat hashtag is great; I suggest you follow it
The apple (?) tree blossoms are very close to flowering
Today's good things included:
- running: with perfect temperature and humidity, it felt easy, and I think that was the fastest run since K3
- productivity: it's coming back, so I must have recharged indeed
- seal colony cuddles: tired kids piled on me, and it was warm and cozy for like five minutes before they started shoving and wrestling for the best place

Practiced both timing and public speaking last night. At a school board meeting, but it's a transferrable skill. Wrote an inside joke that got the laugh.
Got wheels back under my feet, several months after strain injury. Hopefully I can temper myself with patience and have no repeats that caused the hold up.
We're sleeping in later these days, it's nice.

ambivalent thing: I dreamed of an asparagus monster. I love asparagus, and no one prepared me for this.
Today:
- I made it home from my walk before the rain got heavy
- I watched some of the new series of Time Team and really enjoyed that
- I washed the tea towels I’ve been collecting from op shops, ready to start making another bedcover/throw

- Voted 
- Scanned every page of my irreplaceable field guide with its 40 years of birding observations around #Australia
- Made plum jam before the end of the plum season

1) Spouse had a conversation that translated to “can you get me something small & new” with a gallery owner on Saturday and just knocked it out of the park. (She is not on this platform - so I get no benefit from singing her praises here. Not that I would pass up a chance if she were!)
2) A job application I thought got silently rejected weeks ago just turned into a first interview. 
3) No one wanted to go shopping, but cobbled an edible dinner from odds & ends!
- managed to cheat myself out of having to go to the office in person this week, I guess
- I won't tell you
- managed two walks with my imaginary dog #Wuffi and met a cousin on one of them, with whom I had a short talk

Three good things for today: 4/22/2025
1, 2, & 3. Chilling on the patio, listening to the birds, and sipping a glass of wine.
Today's good things included:
- a long walk: time alone, time to observe, time to think, time to recharge
- helpful strangers: who looked up heresies for me and tried to point me to a more orthodox understanding of the Trinity
- writing: I finished a thing! And I have ideas for the next thing!

Catching up
1. Made & froze quarts of (fabulous) bolognese sauce for future pasta delights. Took time & effort but it’s so much better than the expensive frozen dinners!
2. Relieved & happy to see all four squirrels show up for peanuts today — a hawk raided my garden yesterday & I was afraid it had kidnapped one.
3. Vagabond son & DIL will be here tomorrow for a week’s stay. 
4. Bonus: More roses brightening my days outside.
Went for a seawall walk with a very sweet friend two days in a row. Found a guerilla community garden in a foreclosed lot. Enjoyed breathing.
