Sunday: It was a gorgeous day outside! We did some yard work and filled up the herb planters with soil for spring. It's happening! Monday: I practiced yoga and it honestly felt good. Tuesday: I get to have a job that lets me puzzle out stuff like this: It's a piece of a Crystal Report I'm writing. I didn't need the final if/then statement. And I ended up rewriting the whole thing anyway to include another arithmetic operation. I LOVE THIS STUFF. Wednesday: Dinner with Mom, as we've ...

Sunday: Dinner with one of my oldest friends from Middle School. No matter how many years go by, we always pick right up like there was never an interruption. Monday: I applied to give a talk to a tiny conference I attend each December. I gave one in 2017 with a coworker. This time it'll be me, on my own. When the call for applications came out, I wasn't going to do it, but that (now-former) coworker poked me that I should. And then an outline slowly gained shape in my head.... via GIPHYI ...

Sunday: A lovely family gathering for Nephew B's first birthday! Monday: Um. Um. It's been a day. How about that Entenmann's cake that I drowned my bad day in? Gotta love a good Entenmann's cake.

A is great at imaginative play. B is a great smiler. Thursday: It was 70 degrees! I walked to the ...

Sunday: I'm glad I live in a heated home because it's never going to get warm again, is it? Monday: Work from home day on another day with a wintry commute! Tuesday: My half birthday. I'm still here and still healthy. Wednesday: Going to be vague here, but I identified something that has been causing me anxiety lately. Knowing what that issue is makes me feel better. (Grammarly hates that sentence, but has no good suggestions for it.) I hate the weird handwavy feeling of being ...

Sunday: I baked banana bread. It's really tasty! Monday: TNP handed out the Summer Friday information at work. Spring is just around the corner! Tuesday: I, uh. Breathing. I'm grateful that I can breathe. (one of those days you have to search for a bit of good) Wednesday: I am married to a good man with a good heart who does good things that I can't share here because they involve other peoples' kids. Thursday: I went to a happy hour after work for a coworker who's moving on to ...

Sunday: I try a new bread recipe for the second time. It comes out of the oven with the perfect color. It crackles as it cools and makes the best toast I have ever tasted. Monday: Mom's dog, Chip, has X-Rays at the vet to see how enlarged his heart is and if it's the cause of a cough he's developed. Turns out, it's not that enlarged after all! He's given anti-inflammatories for the cough. Chip is 13 now. Tuesday: WM has been coaching one of his students for an interview with Dartmouth. ...
