Another relatively quiet day, somewhat dull. So look back to yesterday's good things—today's are the same.

1. Time to myself for writing.

. . .

It was a good day. But also kind of a boring one. So it's sometimes hard to find/think of positive things . . . Sometimes I have to get very basic. 1. I'm healthy. 2. My needs are met. 3. I have a loving family.

I really want amazing, wonderful things to happen. But it's all relative, isn't it? The things I take for granted (above) are things some people pray for every day. So maybe it wasn't an exciting day. And maybe nothing amazing happened. But it was a good day. Because of those three things and so many more.

1. Scott home from his trip.
2. Thai food.
3. Lots and lots of walking.

1. Writers group.
2. My son found his glasses.
3. Almost Friday.

1. Dance party with the kids = cardio + fun.
2. Bangers, beans & mash (one of the only things I can actually cook).
3. Reading Good Omens with my 10-year-old and remembering how much I enjoy that book.

1. Two review requests for Peter.
2. Another no-laundry day.
3. Bath bomb.

1. Fun dinner out with my two little ones.
2. New jeans.
3. Finally getting to watch X-Files premiere.

1. I'm halfway to getting 10 reviews for Peter on Amazon. That's sort of the magic number as many outlets require the book have at least 10 reviews before they'll feature it.
2. Friends who support me and help me when I have to make hard decisions.
3. So. Many. Rainbows.

1. Salon night! And I made up a new nail color that is awesome (and they named it after me)!
2. My day of no laundry. (I get one a week.)
3. More nice reviews for Peter.

1. A walk without rain.
2. Fun stuff in the mail.
3. Daughter lost a tooth.

1. A bit more progress on rewrites.
2. Not having to drive anywhere.
3. Not having to do the evening routine with the kids.

1. Quiet time.
2. Progress with my revisions.
3. Two nice reviews for Peter.

1. Po-boy.
2. New jeans.
3. More bath bombs.

1. Good Mexican food.
2. . . .
3. . . .

I know I'm supposed to find three good things no matter how small, but there just wasn't a whole lot going on. It was a pretty boring day. It's actually been a pretty boring week, my book release notwithstanding. Hmm.

MY BOOK WAS RELEASED!!!

Do I really need two other good things?

Okay, well, I got in an extra long walk because it was the nicest weather we'd had in a while, and also we had Chinese food for dinner.

But did I mention MY BOOK WAS RELEASED? Go get it here.

1. School open despite not having water. (Thank goodness for the District mobilizing so quickly to get facilities in place for everyone.)
2. McDonald's. Not a healthy choice, but I need a treat now and then.
3. Being featured on The Story Reading Ape.

1. Time with friends.
2. Getting stuff done.
3. Slightly warmer weather.

1. House to myself for the morning!
2. Progress on my WIP.
3. Halfway to my weight goal (trying to lose the 5 lbs I gained over the holidays).

1. Cheese. Like, really good cheese.
2. Ricky Gervais. I think he's brilliant.
3. Bath bombs.

1. Finishing Making a Murderer.
2. Progress with my WIP.
3. Friday, I guess.

1. Plans cancelled unexpectedly means not having to put gas in the car.
2. Cooking with a Crock Pot.
3. Hot fudge sundae.

1. Starting to lose the holiday weight.
2. Short and painless orthodontist appointment.
3. Cookies 'n' cream shake. (There goes the weight . . .)
