Good Things Friday (28)

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. With all the new subscription services coming along, the convenience of streaming isn’t the bargain it used to be. We plan to lean much more heavily on the library for movies and shows rather than falling for the pricey new subscription services. We’ll still always be behind the times and we’ll have to plan head sometimes to borrow DVDs but we’re used to that. Three cheers for the library!

2. Maggie‘s helping me learn new skills! I’m grateful for good friends who teach and share me the gift of knowledge.

3. We hosted Uncle Professor this week briefly and everyone enjoyed his company as usual. The dogs and JB monopolized him, he’s a favorite. The visit was short, as is usual, and Seamus was in denial. He kept looking for Uncle for days after.

4. I’m grateful for fans that work wonderfully: the range hood, our bathroom fans, our little fans when the heat heats up.

5. Thank goodness for little manual coffee drip setups. When the fancy electronic appliance craps out, we don’t have to rush and buy a new one because we can still brew single servings manually.

6. My massage therapist is wonderful and worth double her weight in gold. I always feel better (albeit temporarily) after an appointment with her. I needed to change my appointment date and time this week and she was able to accommodate with a last minute opening. Whew. She helped with all my aches, pains, and weird feelings that keep me up at night.

  1. Yay for amazing massage therapists! I’ve been visiting my therapist for over a decade. I will cry when she retires in a few years. Good therapists are worth the price and so hard to find!

      Yes, so true! Her prices are going up again this year and we’re crossing ALL THE THINGS that she will be able to find a new place to lease that is cheaper in the next two years. But she’s so good I don’t want to change therapists.

    Going the library route is a very good choice. We do it most of the time whenever we have a movie/show we want to watch and automatically see if the library has it.
    We have been maximizing our use of the museum/zoo(CuriOdyssey in San Mateo) lately since we got free passes for our sister-in-law. The passes are good until the end of the October and we have been going every Saturday for the past three weeks now. Mainly because TwC wants to go and check the zoo portion of it. We will probably comeback a lot more before those passes expire.

      Libraries offer so much more now than they did when we were kids! We’ve been considering the CuriOdyssey passes since they have reciprocal rights at other museums. Have you found it to be worth it?

      • Kris says:

        Yeah I believe so. CuriOdyssey has a lot of offer for kids. With their zoo, kid-friendly science exhibits and programs it’s worth the cost. Their exhibits lets the kids learn and have fun at the same time
