Given how this week has been going, I thought I should take a moment to reflect on a few things that made life this week a little happier:

1. Thick socks on cold mornings.
2. Warm days when you can have a drink outside with a friend.
3. Watching Penny desperately try to befriend Seuss (paws down, tail up).
4. Watching a movie in bed with Seuss and KC.
5. When mine and KC’s life aligns on a random Tuesday so we can have a long dinner in our newly-finished dining room.
6. Realizing that the upside to this fiasco is getting to buy new bedding.
7. Weekday lunch dates with coworker friends.
8. And on that note — the SF Soup Co. truck that comes down to our neck of the woods.
9. Pizza.
10. This cute scene, which now happens just about daily in our house:

Workin’ hard for the money.
