10/13

i'm thankful that last night i made an easy salad and baked sweet potato matchsticks (illegal to call them fries when baked) to go with our leftover fried chicken

i'm thankful for the privilege to make novelty purchases at the grocery store, which i have indulged recently with "hard coconut water" (better than expected) and mushroom bacon chips (worse than expected, but i found them fascinating because i feel like in their artificial smoke they imagine what eating one of miso's treats might be like for miso).

i'm thankful for the weird sad assorted sale shelf in the grocery store, which is always fascinating from an anthropological perspective and (rarely but it happens) a source of something i actually want to buy

i'm thankful we bought too much dried fruit from trader joe's but i have gotten better about not eating too much dried fruit at once so it's okay

i'm thankful that by watching too many episodes last night we finished the first season of the good place, which is the weakest season of the good place but which i somehow felt some completist need to watch all of

i'm thankful that i made an erasure yesterday and another one today. i'm thankful for the drawings d has done for inktober and that she tore out one i liked so i could keep it in my office

i'm thankful we rode our bikes to the party on friday night, even though it was too chilly hours later in the dark on the way home, since the ride there was at a nice sunset and it was warm enough that you felt warm but weren't sweaty

i'm thankful for overthrow by caleb crain, which is pretty good so far though i'm hoping it will explode soon

i'm thankful that i filled up my pill organizer for the week today after not having done so for several weeks. i'm thankful i have been keeping the surface of my desk clean, which does have a positive effect on my mental health. i'm thankful after having lost the lacrosse ball i use for my trigger points to miso somewhere i got a new one (and one for d too). 

i'm thankful for the bag of ice in the freezer
