#3goodthings

3 good things and the day isn't even over yet:

• Beauty and the Beast on harp is really coming along
• Finished a difficult scene in my Harper story (which I'm writing in 2 languages at once)
• Problem in right shoulder is on the way out fast (exercises and Tai Chi)

#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

Here's a #3GoodThings for yesterday:

1. I did my regular bike maintenance. Every hundred miles, I take off the freewheel and pedals so they don't get too tight, and then I clean and re-lubricate the chain/derailleurs. With winter on the way, it might be a while before the next round.

2. I did my very first shrink-wrap! This will help me to sell my #FirstClassFiction postcards in bookstores.

3. My end-of-year postcard anthology is coming along.

#3GoodThings EOW Edition

1. Relatively low-effort work day
2. Wife noticed we'd been charged twice for a vet visit last week, but the receptionist I talked to was courteous, apologetic, and issued a refund almost immediately; I was genuinely surprised how quick and hassle-free the conversation was
3. Payday

#3GoodThings today.

1. Making it down to school to see the display kiddo's class was putting on 🏫
2. My new Christmas decoration (a giant lantern) arrived in one piece and I like it very much 🕯️
3. Being more well than yesterday 📈

#3GoodThings

1. Young dog sat politely and watched neighbor dog go by on our walk this morning!
2. I can wear whatever the hell I want, pretty much any day, and nobody cares.
3. Yuletide fic is off to a good start.

#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings 1) Home again, with my own bed and my own food. 2) Lap time with the tortie girl cat. 3) Watching old seasons of The Diplomat with spouse & kiddo on the couch over dinner with the cats. (So the premise of the show is ridiculous and the plot is over the top, but the actors are fun to watch and it hit the spot.)

#3GoodThings #Today

1. Played some Coral Island

2. Did some prep for the soup luck on Saturday

3. Overall just feeling a little bit more like myself again

Three good things from today - 2026/11/05 1) Got lots of work done for the organization I volunteer with. They are awesome people. 2) Went to the Chinese supermarket and got loads of goodies. Their croissant is the best. 3) Watching All Creatures Great and Small puts me in my happy place. #3goodthings

#3goodthings

1. Have been feeling extra creative, brainstorming a lot of ideas for new art pieces.

2. IKEA meatballs and mashes potatoes for dinner.

3. Computer upgrade to Fedora 45 went off without a hitch.

Three things that I am grateful for today: 🍂 ... it finally rained here today after more than two weeks of dry dry weather. Grateful for every drop. 🍂 ... a friend offered to take #SunshineSadie for the weekend. Such a kind offer! But I decided that it takes more energy for me to cook and clean for myself right now then it does to take a slow, gentle walk with Sadie. I think I'd be very lonely without her while I'm recovering. 🍂 ... air conditioning. Yes, I know it's November in New England but it is so warm out - it's still 65° at 11pm in the air outside is still and heavy. #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #gratitude

1. Potstickers.

2. An e-book on hold came available through a skip-the-line offer. I had just finished a book and so I grabbed it.

3. Made progress on organizing and setting aside things to donate.

#3goodthings #threegoodthings

1. Managed to finally send over a progress report for my master degree that I had been working on for over 3 weeks. And not at the last minute! Feel pretty good about it too.
2. Right after hitting send caught up with a dear friend after several failed attempts.
3. The news have not been absolutely sucky lately.

Sis and I met with the broker who will provide the market valuation on Mom's house, and eventually, sale of the house. I think he'll do a great job, a gem. Still under the weather (I masked for our meeting, but I always mask). The tools of treatment are at hand, helpful. I'm thankful we have access to them. And feeling puny in no way dampens my joy over our blue tsunami. My Gloria Gaynor moment: "I Will Survive!" 🌞 Received an important piece of mail we've been waiting for. #3GoodThings

#3GoodThings Two years ago we were wishing to perform at a festival in Khao Yai, Thailand. Three weeks ago a festival organizer met us and we jammed. My husband has a way of bringing out the best in musicians and this promoter LOVED playing with us and offered us a second stage at this sold out festival. No formal audition, no waiting and just hoping for acceptance, just a straight up invitation and bending over backwards to build us a stage and bring in a tower of PA’s and monitors. Found the home to bake from and the little green truck to zip around in!!! Receiving so much kindness and care from all yall. after finding out little home to bake home from we whipped up 7 batches of cookies, five varieties, for the festival we are performing at. Feels so good to be back to baking. I’ve been dreaming of a giant cookie to serve at festivals and we finally got to make over one hundred to share with our music—the ultimate merch. #dreamscometrue #threegoodthings #gratitude

#3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1) Had a phone call with a pre-op admin to get ready for my knee replacement on Monday 2) Met with another admin on more details about the surgery and found out I still needed 2 more pre-op tests done 3) Went to the Outpatient Lab and got the 2 tests done. Good part was no blood draws this time. Bonus) Picked up all my post-op Rx's and medications

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings 1.) I work with good people 2.) My partner is very cool 3.) Sunset - look the days are getting short, I'm probably including both sunrise and sunset one day soon.

#3GoodThings @3goodthings@a.gup.pe ✅Went through the straggling bits of my to do list and called things done that are never likely to get done any better than how they are now. 🧀 Huge cheese toastie in a coffee shop that pretty much counted as two meals in one. 🚲 My bike battery's intermittent and seemingly undiagnosable problem went away again.

#3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

• good food all day, starting with porridge for breakfast and using leftovers for other meals

• a short walk in the afternoon, before sunset. Even being a bit cold and achy didn't spoil the benefits of getting out in the daylight

• a phone chat with a friend in the evening

#3GoodThings

1. Went over long-term finances with my wife last night, and things look generally good
2. Another meeting that I was totally winging it on that still went well
3. Pleased with the Thoth action figure yesterday for my Egypt diorama
