Grateful our Californian friends are getting rain but praying for their continued safety.
Grateful Aly is getting some treatment. Fingers crossed that it takes hold and provides relief soon.
Grateful to see a work colleague Wednesday night. It was cold but so wonderful to see her. Was also a sad reminder how awful things are there and how much she needs to get out (but is a single mom and can’t find a different job).
Grateful, so grateful for this job. I’m living the life I imagined people were probably living in COVID working from home. I can just tune in to trainings and just listen. Yesterday I even did a bit of yoga while watching a seminar. I can cook here and there and not let food go to waste (not wasting and finding creative ways to use things—especially food—is one of the things that, as it turns out, brings me some of the greatest joy). And I think I’m probably saving a lot of money on food. Which is great with the whole pay cut thing.
Grateful to have made delicious “homemade” pizzas last night (used pre-made crust and not from scratch sauce so not really homemade) and discover what a wonderful vehicle pizzas are for using up bits of things you need to use up. Made one half with meatballs, red onion and sun dried tomato. And one half with leftover ham some Swiss/parm cheese I had grated too much of for French onion soup, and candied jalapeños.
Grateful to have leftovers to eat.
Grateful for all of you.

Hi Owen!

Grateful to Anne E. for helping me to a way forward when I was about to give up.

Mags, I hope my son is liking my inspirational texts too. I think he does. I catch him reading them. He will pretend he’s doing something else and smirk at me 😊
