1. Pretty nice lunch out with the family.
2. Had a good discussion with my 9yo daughter about gender fluidity thanks to her spotting my Eddie Izzard book and asking whether he was a boy or a girl.
3. Game night: Betrayal at the House on the Hill. Lots of fun!

1. A really wonderful review for my book Brynnde on Long and Short Reviews. Made my day!
2. The in-laws took the kids out for a bit, which allowed me to get grocery shopping done faster.
3. Had a productive afternoon of editing and critiquing.

1. Watching my daughter turn into quite the little horsewoman . . . Also, there was a cute cat at the barn that followed me around and demanded pettings. So that was fun.
2. Kids got a good report from the dentist at their semi-annual cleaning.
3. Window people scheduled a time to come install the new windows.

Bonus: Rain, which we hadn't had in a while, and which also prevented the annoying kid who lives a couple doors down from riding his loud motorbike up and down the street. I try never to wish ill on anyone, but in this case it's very difficult not to.

It was a pretty good day. A quiet, productive morning followed by picking up my son's friend and taking all the kids out to lunch. Then we all came home and the kids played Bears vs Babies and Superfight, and I did a little more work, and then I worked on the Star Wars story with my daughter some more. Got a workout in, too. Overall, not bad. I'm guess that's at least three things, anyway, depending on how you count.

1. More writing with my kids. You can follow the whole story here.
2. Family walk.
3. . . . New year, fresh start?
