Small Good Things

1. Blueberries! We made it to the blueberry farm, along with some friends. If I have the energy, I'm making a berry crisp tonight. And LG wants blueberry pancakes for breakfast (almost good enough to give up my wheat-free diet!).
2. LG went to bed tonight at 6:50. Now, it's not really that I *like* my child going to bed before 7:00, but she needs 11.5-12 hrs of sleep or she turns into a raving lunatic. This past week she's been pushing bedtime later and later. Maybe she's starting to need less sleep. Maybe she's an insomniac like me, I don't know. But I am so glad she's finally going to get a decent night's sleep, the first in about a week.
3. A new session of swimming lessons started today for LG. I always bring a book, which I'm quite happy to read. But I spent the entire time chatting with a professor from another department, whose son has been enrolled in various activities with LG. We've never really socialized outside of these kid events, but we probably should.
4. Not needing to drive to the clinic for an 8:30 ultrasound.
5. Having an entire evening to myself, which is not unrelated to #2. I am not going to sweep the floors, clean the bathroom, or do a single load of laundry. All that stuff can wait until tomorrow. Instead, I'm going to nurse The Headache and watch Private Practice on Hulu. I'll watch anything with Amy Brenneman.
