I haven’t been too super positive online lately but my life is good so here I go, a Good Things post

  • interviews and photoshoots
  • delicious stories like The Night Circus and The Dream Thieves
  • new friends whose loyalties already run deep
  • an ever-deepening relationship
  • the freedom to be affectionate
  • small, manageable goals, reached much more often
  • solving problems on whiteboards
  • inspiration to write about myself
  • so many new ideas populating my brain
  • physical health and improved mental health

okay we’ve completely changed up the bedroom, found a magnificent rustic end table for $10, purged the coat closet, made two meals (I crafted tuna+candied bacon+spring greens sandwiches earlier, Jake just made baked mac’n’cheese and I went with my classic teriyaki chicken tenderloins) – I finished the other half of The Night Circus and have made some progress on RLS… yes, yes, good weekend

last night we were surprised by a group of our Spanish exchange student neighbors dropping in. to watch “a film.” they liked our theater and I think we’ve made friends for the next month. and potentially places to stay in Spain 😀

I wrote 684 words tonight! for myself! for fun! Jake pep-talked the fuck out of me on the way home ;’D
