Good Things Friday (21)

Good Things Friday (1)

This is my weekly list of things that were good this week, even if they weren’t all unadulteratedly good things. Please do share your good things in the comments!

1. Friday. Despite being on Day 6 of excruciating pain, I kept my promise to drop JB off at school and pick zir up.

2. Saturday. A dear friend of over 20 years came for dinner. So good to see old friends.

3. Saturday. We started a new session of swim lessons at the Y this month and while JB initially balked at joining the lesson, a combination of forcing zir to come with me and supportive hugging got

4. Sunday. Everyone got to sleep in until almost 8! Whooo! JB even asked permission the night before to sleep late which was, to me, a guarantee of a 6 am wake up, but no, we all got to lay in until a leisurely 7:43 am.

5. Monday. It finally occurred to me that I don’t have to JUST suck it up and ride out the pain waves, I could contact my massage therapist for an extra session to break the cycle. Unfortunately she was sick but at least it occurred to me this time! I usually just suffer and force myself to keep going.

6. Monday. My Primary.com summer sale order arrived early and everything was surprisingly great! I expected to be disappointed in at least one or two items, this is normal with any new retailer, but my order was all good.  The colors are as vibrant as advertised and the quality feels solid. Their summer moving sale is still through the weekend, so if you use this referral code to get 25% off and free shipping on top of their summer prices, the prices are excellent! The referral discount is better than their first time buyer discount (15% 0r 20%). I only got the 20% off because I don’t know any other Primary.com buyers and I was happy with the total price paid.

7. Tuesday. Day 11 of excruciating pain was not quite so excruciating! I had other pain problems BUT they were different and practically tolerable. There’s a chance of recovering before the 4th and not spending it curled up on the couch breathing shallowly after all!

8. Wednesday. The day before a holiday or weekend is always tough for me – I get a combination of senioritis and the driving need to clear ALL the work from my plate before I’m off. A mid week holiday like this year’s Independence Day just doubles up on that! But since I kept forgetting that it was the day before a holiday, I just worked like usual and avoided most of the pent up anxiety. Win?

9. Thursday. I still had to work today which was a bummer but really enjoyed the relative quiet where I didn’t have to answer anyone’s questions and could just do my thing. Bonus, I was still able to take some of the day off to go to the park with everyone, have lunch, and rest up a bit. This is the most relaxation I’ve had in a while.

:: How was your week?

  1. Well, one good thing is that, after being stood up by a guy from Tinder, I was able to get back on Tinder and secure a replacement date. We ended up having a really good time, so that was one good thing.

    Had another good date on Wednesday with a different guy. So things are going well on that front. Granted, I have more dates in front of me that could go horribly, but if so I figure I’ll get a good blog post out of it. So still a good thing.

  2. One good thing that happened this week – our drive from the Oregon coast back home was as easy as possible. Minimal traffic, kids got along, & we made good time!

    My husband was out of town from the 3rd through late on the 7th, so I knew it was going to be a long weekend of solo 3-year-old parenting. My three goals were:

    1. Get decent sleep every night.
    2. Keep a lid on the house. I took the last 2 hours of daycare on Wednesday to clean so that I started in a good place.
    3. Keep my daughter reasonably entertained and happy.

    I wasn’t very happy about him taking the trip, but I felt pretty good about how things went while he was gone. It was work, but my daughter and I had good conversations, read books, played, and spent a lot of time at the rec center and the library. And sleeping and maintaining the house status went well, too.
