I am proud of:

• cleaning the bathroom.
  
• doing some dishes and some much-needed laundry.
  
• reorganizing my closet and cleaning my office.
  
• going to my dentist appointment, and having no cavities or lost fillings, huzzah!
  
• managing to have breakdownless PMS.
  

I enjoyed:

• the last of the chocolate cheesecake.
  
• playing couples' cranium.
  
• reading some Neil Gaiman short stories.
  
• an argument on the internet wherein logic won.
  
• boyfriend time.
  

I love:

• my boyfriend.
  
• strawberry frozen fruit bars.
  
• my kitty.
  
• air conditioning.
  
• clean spaces and clean things.
  

Take care, all. :)

Well, I almost forgot, to be honest...but as always I define the night as ending when I go to sleep, so there is still time!

I am proud of:

• getting an incomplete grade taken care of.

I enjoyed:

• playing with the cat.
  
• taking up a little sewing project, no matter how iffy it turned out.
  
• reading (I finished Good Omens and moved onto Guards! Guards!)
  
• being incapacitated by bizarrely ticklish things.
  
• finally remembering to buy brownie ingredients!
  

I love:

• my boyfriend (and his silliness, and his awesomeness).
  
• brownies.
  
• my kitty, who now poops in the litter box again, not on the floor!
  
• being able to set aside my crazy to try new things, and enjoy them.
  
• sweet potato fries (without marshmallow dip!).
  

Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

I have missed a couple of weeks. I was considering dropping the idea altogether, but I reminded myself that being positive is supposed to help with my biggest mental health hangup, self-esteem. Thus, I shall resume (and keep going with as few gaps as possible, I hope!)

I am proud of:

• keeping my goal weight.
  
• coming back and posting here.
  
• asking for something I wanted and getting it.
• cleaning up/revamping the cat's bathroom to encourage her to use it properly.
  
• persevering in a very difficult quest to get information about therapy.
  

I enjoyed:

• dinners out, particularly the dinner-for-two times.
  
• getting to teach again.
  
• being fortunate enough to receive a car when I needed one very very much.
  
• getting better at taking pictures.
  
• road trips to interesting places with nice people.
  

I love:

• my boyfriend.
  
• my cat.
  
• test banks.
  
• eggplant parmigiana.
  
• calculus.
  

Take care, all. :)
