[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

A pretty good day overall, with no weird mood swings. Yes, it's gotten to a point in my life where it's notable when I have a day without weird mood swings.

A woman came to pick up an assortment of stuff from us to make crafts with her kids. She'd put up an ad on the local buy and sell for wood scraps, tile, anything like that for free for crafts. I told her we had lots of bits and pieces from all the work we've been doing. She took a bunch of small pieces of plywood, some cupboard doors we aren't going to reuse, tiles we kept from the bathroom in the trailer, all the paint cans that had half a can or less of a color (over the years we've gotten a lot of paint like this, it just accumulates), I brought out some kid's stickers I won't use, and a few items from a box of stuff I got at an auction where I only wanted a couple of things. She and her kids were pretty excited, and I hope they make lots of fun stuff out of material we weren't going to use. She seems very creative.

We managed to get to the city and do a few fun things. We haven't had much chance to do just fun things for a while. Finding a few things at the re-store in the city. We got to the art gallery, and saw the works of influential women artists.

We had a really nice meal at a place we go to sometimes; we thought it might be gone but it only moved to a new location, so it was nice to find it.

Nice exchange with our server, who was wearing a nice shirt, and it led to a brief conversation about loving Art Deco aesthetic.

Getting to the book store.

Still managing to get tarps and such.

Coming home and watching more American Gods. It's nice to watch something that we're both enjoying.

Doing chores together.
