1. Things are slower at work these days, so I am taking some days off to de-stress and get some things done at home. I was off last Friday, and I’ll be off a couple of days next week, and getting extra days to hang out at home and relax and read and throw mouse toys around for the cat is wonderful! Getting to take some extra days off from work helps me remember how lucky I am to have a job these days.
2. Every day seems to bring lots of flyers for political candidates to our mailbox. Don’t get me wrong—I don’t want them. But I am happy to see that printers and the USPS are getting so much business in a year when they need that so badly.
3. My bf is making a big pan of pasta tonight, which is wonderful. It means we eat well tonight and once or twice again later in the week. Plus, he’s an excellent pasta chef, so I am looking forward to tonight’s Sausage-Spinach Pasta Bake.
4. I’m going four this week, to brag again about our awesome cat. DonDon loves to nap in the sunshine, play with his toy mouses, chase ping pong balls around, and cuddle. He brings us so much joy and love, and I am always thankful for him. Even when he tries to steal one of my tacos.
