Small Good Things

I'm hoping today makes up for yesterday.  So far so good.  (Nap, little boy, nap!)

1. We took our usual Sunday walk to the farmer's market.  We bought eggplant, sweet corn, tomatoes, and some overpriced gourmet pasta.  (I am mostly not eating wheat, and they did have the gluten free sort, but I figured I should try the real stuff to see if it's worth the price before trying a version I am less likely to like.  Mostly when I don't eat wheat I just don't eat it; I don't care for "gluten free" much of anything, and many of the baked goods use soy flour, which I really can't eat.)  But anyway, it was a great trip to the market.
2. According to LG, all summer I've been saying next week we should get some food from the fancy food trailer at the market.  So we did it today.  And even Tiny Boy ate a few bites.  Yay for not cooking lunch and trying something new.
3. Thanks to nicoleandmaggie I called the crock pot company because I broke the handle off my crock pot lid, and it was getting really annoying.  This is the second (or maybe third?) time I've broken a crock pot in the exact same way, and the other times I just end up replacing the whole thing for an upgrade.  But now I have a new lid (for free!!) and in a moment I'm going to put some green beans in there and stew them up for dinner.  Yay!
4. I am having a day I like my house.  It's the sort of adorable English cottage house that people always say they like but mostly I see the mess and everything that's in disrepair (like the weeds out front and the windows we don't/can't open and the dirty floor, etc).  But today it's a perfect day to have the front door open and the sun is coming in and it's just nice.  I also, finally, organized my new desk area and find it much more workable.
5. I am feeling mostly better.  I thought I was on the verge of a sinus infection, what with the constant headache and the green snot and all, but I think it's pretty much gone now.  Hooray.
