A few things on my A+ list this week:
1. Working and feeling productive. I realized yesterday in about hour five of training that I have been in a professional rut for quite some time. There is so much to learn with this new job, so many new opportunities. I slept hard last night after a day of great work. There is such satisfaction in feeling like you can be a part of progress.
2. BandAids. New shoes for a new walk? Dumb move. BandAids that stay put and provide comfort? A+.
3. Mika. Have you heard this guy? I am really enjoying his voice and oddly creative lyrics.
4. Friends who volunteer to help me once again fix Ruby. I broke a spoke hauling her home from spinning. JT is going to help fix her without me spending yet another paycheck at Landis.
5. Cottage cheese and ice cold blueberries.
6. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Need something new to read? I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a slow read because there is so much information to absorb. It’s about a Hmong refugee family newly arrived to the US with their infant daughter who has epilepsy. The next 200 pages are a fascinating anthropological study of the American medical system and and the Hmong culture.
7. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s outfits on Ghost Whisperer. Why can’t I run around in pretty lingerie at work ? And while we’re at it, why can’t I have those eyelashes? She is so pretty and her attire is so odd. Watching this show is pure fashion mind candy.
8. My brother. You would not believe the kind message the boy managed to leave me yesterday. I am so blessed to have such a thoughtful sibling and I am embarrassed how many years we spent fighting. He is becoming an incredible adult and I couldn’t be more proud he is my family.
9. Making serious progress on the book editing. My goal is to resend my manuscript to a dozen literary agents and publishing companies by the end of the month.
10. Air conditioning.
Hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start!
