Good Things

Just a list today.

  • Dinner: air fryer chicken with spicy italian seasoning, roasted cauliflower with sriracha barbecue sauce, garlic aioli, and green goddess to dip.
  • Bingo: I forgot how much I love bingo? Honestly I had three cards going at once and didn’t win any of the rounds. Reminds me of the first time I saw *real* bingo in France when I was a teenager. Mostly older ladies with a stack of cards and real prizes.
  • Do The Thing* Hour: with regulars!
  • Movement: a run out in the cold listening to WBUR, a mid-length walk with Bertram in his little plaid hoodie. A late night Power Yoga class with Chelle.

Other good things:

  • Candles from Trader Joe’s – the big unscented stack candles, in Weck jars, to improve mood.
  • Heated blankets.
  • Hydration. (Aspirational, I’m about to go do that.)
  • More Midsomer Murders. I’m consistent. I’m really enjoying the upgraded Apple TV after a decade with my old one.
  • Canceled meetings: reclaiming the time to do NOTHING.

Good Things:

  • Lunch: crispy lettuce salad with tomatoes, cucumber, sardines, and the last of the Ayacote Amarillos.
  • Dinner: fish sticks, cauliflower rice, and cottage cheese. With sriracha bbq. Roll with it.
  • Snacks of note: another Stone and Skillet muffin with truffle brie. TJs peppermint cookie mix thinned and cooked like pancake.

Also: a 3 mile run in the cold that was surprisingly enjoyable with gloves and a warm hat and WBUR – even didn’t mind the pledge drive. And my regular Tuesday night Yin with Yasemene.

Midsomer Murders. I’m on season 20. It’s chock full of soothing campy murders. Perfect for background relaxation on a windy cold day.

Running a mile in a blizzard. It was remarkably warmer than I had expected, minus the several inches of cold slush puddles.

Decompress and Rest with Jess on Ompractice tonight. Her classes are always lovely, and I try to live vicariously as she teaches from Hawaii.

Rest, relaxing, FaceTiming the fam after dinner.

Tomorrow: meal planning, vacuuming, cleaning snow off the car, and a Trader Joe’s run. Wild plans!
