I had an optometrist appointment this morning. The weather was so nice I walked there and back. (Didn't twist my ankle this year!) It was a pleasant way to start the day. Here's what else was good in my week:

I've decided not to add anything new to my work plate for the rest of the year. I will focus on stuff that needs to be resolved now that the semester is ending. It feels good to set that mental boundary for myself. Here's what else made me happy this week:
It boggles my mind that it is December already. We've been slowly decorating our home for the holidays all week. It's been fun watching the kiddo get more excited each day. This year, we're trying a countdown calendar. It's one we get to fill and we've got lots of goodies on hand. Here's what else was good this week:
I love that our HVAC units are Wi-Fi connected. Today, while in a Zoom meeting, I was able to adjust the temperature without leaving my seat. Plus, this means we can reset temperatures when we're away. Such a little thing but it makes life so much easier. Here's what else was good this week:
Kiddo's daycare is closed for Veteran's Day. Luckily, so is my office. I'm always grateful that my holiday schedule generally aligns with hers. Here's what else was good this week:
Kiddo's daycare is closed for professional development today. I'm grateful that work from home flexibility means I don't have use any leave. I'm also grateful that I don't mind hearing the Fancy Nancy theme song over and over and over again. Here's what else was good this week:
My brother is coming in to town tomorrow. It will be the first time I've seen him since Christmas. I'm very excited about it. I think the kiddo is even more excited. She seems to prefer her uncle over everyone else. Here's what else made me happy this week:
Kiddo's daycare is closed today for parent-teacher conferences. I took the day off to handle that BUT our daycare managed to schedule an almost full day art camp at a local studio. Instead of going to the office, I kept my day off to run errands and tackle a few small home chores. It feels really good to get these things done. Here's what else made me smile this week:
Our neighborhood list-serv has been all flustered sharing how hard it's been to get the new COVID vaccine. People are complaining about abruptly cancelled appointments, no availability, long lines, cost, and confusion. I scheduled my appointment for a COVID and flu shot two weeks ago. I've been nervous ever since. Today, I waltzed into the store, checked-in on my phone, went to the pharmacy, waited about 8 minutes, and got my arm jabs. Easy-peasy. I'm happy that didn't encounter any issues. CVS even sent me some decent coupons afterwards. Here's what else made me happy this week:
I'm working my way through the back episodes of Radio Atlantic. It's rather interesting to hear the recordings from the start of the pandemic. It's like a time warp to hear the fuzzy audio, zoom glitches, and rehear the news from those days. These episodes have helped me get through some necessary but tedious projects this week. Here's what made me smile this week:
