Small Victories

1. I started using the chrome app Strict Workflow, mentioned recently by Undine.  I blocked my work email during writing times.  Super helpful.
2. On Thursday I decided to have a catch up day.  In practical terms, this wasn't really any different than any other work-at-home day, but I checked off a lot of stupid small items, like updating our course management system and emailing various home repair people that has been on my to do list for WEEKS.
3. This morning I managed to reset our thermostat (wireless) which had no signal (and therefore the second day this week with no heat).  It only took me about 90 minutes and a lot of trips up and down to the basement to figure out that the furnace cover was very slightly (and I do mean very!) ajar, after routine maintenance the other day.  Score!
4. While Tiny Boy refused to hang out at the gym kids club, he did walk/run around the track.  Then when he started whining he wanted to go home, I said "I'll make a deal with you.  When my Fitbit gets to 4000, we can go."  So I walked as much as I had wanted in the first place...
5. It is insane raining today.  LG has play practice.  Tiny Boy and I are going to our public library, where he will hang out in the Maker Space and have unlimited computer time and I will read for class.
