Small Good Things

1. Okay, so not so small:  In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, I am giving myself (and everyone else) a reminder of my deep gratitude for the gamete donors who allowed me to have LG and Tiny Boy.  I hope you and your families are healthy.  My world, if not also the world in general, is better for having these children in it.
2. All the good feelings that accompany the end of year (scholarship winners, ceremonies, diss defenses) feel amplified in their odd zoom formats.  I got an email from a student's mother (that might be a first?)  I'm just full of the good feelings.
3. I found a bottle of cherry moscato in my basement from a party last fall, and it is more than drinkable.  And I could drink it during a work event because my house is not my campus.
4. Food stuffs:  crisp made with frozen mixed berries and cherries (minus the strawberries that LG asked me to pull out for smoothie), potato salad, pickled red onions made with repurposed leftover pickle brine.  While we mostly have the food that we would ordinarily eat (other than ridiculously specific stuff like the particular yogurt Tiny Boy likes).
5. TV show:  did someone around here mention Better Things?  It's been suggested to me by various folks in my real life and you know, I really do like it.
