Positivity meme (day 5/7)
It's been a very low-key and unfocused day--not a bad one, but uneventful to the point that I feel kind of dazed thinking back on it.
Today I'm thankful for:
1) The fact that there weren't very many ants in the kitchen throughout the day, if ants there had to be. (We'll get more traps in there soon.) This is a grim thankfulness, but sincere. I don't do well with creepy-crawly things in my space.
1b) The fact that the shared common yard space has been re-sodded after a bunch of work being done out there. With any luck, future ants will feel no need to invade our house to get away from the upheaval.
2) Snuggles with Jinksy while I slept in.
2b) Kitten photos! Which I note because it lets me link to the post I made today over at
jinksyandthebrain.
3) Getting nearly 1000 words written late last night (hence how late I slept in).
Project Wear All the BPAL Weenies!, day 4: Bite Me (2009), "Croquembouche with almond silk and a drizzle of caramel". I put it on last night an hour or two before bed. It didn't make much impression beyond "vaguely sweet", and now my impression is even fuzzier, so we'll file it under "unmemorable on my skin". On the one hand, I'm a bit sad that I didn't get the almond/caramel notes a lot of people on the forum seem to have; OTOH, at least my skin didn't amp it up into a wall of booze, since I don't like alcoholic smells much.
