i'm thankful i took a mental health day yesterday. i'm thankful that i have a job where i'm allowed to take a sick day, even considering i already work from home. i'm thankful to know that i could take another day today if i felt like i needed to, but i'm going to push myself back in.
i'm thankful to have stayed in bed all morning resting. i'm thankful that d didn't have anywhere she had to go so she stayed in bed with me.
i'm thankful that in the afternoon, d and i took miso on a walk to the park. i'm thankful that we were both shocked when she only pooped once and i'm thankful to have mentioned how lucky we are that we spend so little time these days with her on walks trying to read her butthole like tea leaves.
i'm thankful for nicole byer's podcast why won't you date me (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/headgum/why-wont-you-date-me), which is d's favorite podcast and my favorite podcast of d's to listen in to from another room. i'm thankful for how exuberantly funny nicole byer is.
i'm thankful for this week's episode of watchmen, which was truly incredible.
i'm thankful for the fancy cinnamon rolls my parents had shipped to us. i'm thankful that though they weren't as erotically dripping with icing as i would usually prefer, they were quite delicate and buttery and warm.
i'm thankful for the campanelle pasta shape, which holds sauce very well, and i'm thankful that this weekend, d made another batch of ragu. i'm thankful for anchovies.
i'm thankful that d and i are always on the same team. i'm thankful that when i was starting a google doc yesterday afternoon to update my resume, i found the google doc from this spring where we were trying to brainstorm about moving somewhere and couldn't agree. i'm thankful that the little sniping we were each doing at each other in the document, the sense that both of us felt wronged by the other and needed to repeatedly express that, is over, that we are united and together and in love. i'm so incredibly thankful for that, and i'm thankful to try to remind me of it when other day to day things get me down.
