i'm thankful that though i didn't mean to fall asleep on the couch for several hours last night, it meant that i didn't eat dessert. i'm thankful for the weird but pretty satisfying dinner we've been having this week of dry fried garlic green beans, gnocchi with parmesan, and little seared tuna steaks with lime and soy.

i'm thankful to always aim for a more goldilocks sleep cycle but i'm also thankful, if i have to choose, to sleep too much rather than too little, having been on the other end of the spectrum there for long sad stretches of my past and hoping i never go back to that.

i'm thankful that after months, i finally beat my personal best of fourteen defeated opponents in endurance treadmill tetris by defeating sixteen opponents. i'm thankful that it was mostly luck but i'm thankful 

i'm thankful in an update from the other day to have found out that zoom has a "touch up my appearance" filter and to have gotten a webcam that i can clip onto my monitor so i'm looking straight at the camera rather than having the camera of my laptop look up at me. i'm thankful that work continues to be a whole new world that i'm happy to live in.

i'm thankful for the new tennis album, which i am so in love with, especially the opener, "i'll haunt you," which is a cinnamon roll of a song, each bite of the verse and the bridge and the chorus driving you through to the next one, the slight iterations on the hooks you've heard before, the way she pulls the melody up out of the obvious place it's going in the first lines of her couplets, the AM gold piano, the song not repeating as many times as you want it to which drives you back to the beginning to start again.

i'm thankful for mondegreens.
