Just Good Things: November 1, 2024

This year, on top of the usual candy selection, our kiddo came home from trick-or-treating with stickers, pencils, a popcorn snack bag, a hostess cupcake, and a banana dressed like a mummy. It was the most diverse bag of treats. The only one I, as a mom, side-eyed was the GIANT pixie stick.

Here's what else made me smile this week:

• Kiddo running the entire walk home (and then greeting her dad with a jump hug)
• Mild weather on Halloween
• Getting compliments on the candy we picked to hand out at the reference desk
• No traffic when I had to dash home for a forgotten item
• Arriving at work early
• Scrolling through social media for some positive vibe videos
• Catching up with some daycare parents
• Kiddo spotted an owl flying between the trees
• Being able to "magic resize" some graphic design elements
