Good things over the past week

KBear's having a rough time right now. Therefore, I encourage all of you to think of a couple of the good things that happened to you over the past week for her.

For me, the best three things were:

1. I was able to work in the office full-time Thursday and Friday.

2. My youngest just started Kindergarten and loved it! He wanted to wear is elementary school T-shirt every day this week. Of course, we didn't let him. It was stinky!

3. My wife and I saw "Wicked" last night. It was a challenge to sit through since it was nearly three hours long (including intermission). But, it was fantastic!

The best thing today -

I'm having homemade and homegrown blackberry and apple pie for pudding tonight. :thumpup:

It's like a great weight lifted off me but probably doesn't sound it to others - I completed my tax return & sorted out some financial stuff which has been sat on my desk (since I had my op back in April) with an approaching deadline.

On a yummier note on my way home from the gym today I stopped off at a bakery & bought a lovely vanilla slice which was delicious

. It was my treat for today to brighten my mood.

Things are picking up at work. Actually got some overtime Saturday.
My wife took me shopping today and bought me 3 new shirts and a pair of Sketchers walking shoes.
For you Dave, Having a combination beef and pork roast for dinner with all the sides.

Kathy, I bet you had some positive things this week also, so focus on those when you get down. We all need you here.

It was our sixth anniversary today and we went to the National Art Gallery. Fitting as we met at a small art studio of a mutual friend.

We stopped in at a funky deli on the way home, and got a chocolate cake that is gluten free, made of just heavy cream, chocolate and eggs. Not exactly diet food, but it is dense and big enough to last all week

Except for the last two days, my pain levels have been going down and I am much more active. Either that or the new long acting morphine capsules are working better than the short acting tablets. Either way, the pain is under control, at least most of the time. It feels great!

Next!

I was able to spend some time with one of my best friends that I have not seen in two years on Friday night.
I signed up for some more cooking classes.
We were able to refinance our house at a very low rate.
I had a meeting with my school that reassured me of some things I was worried about.
I start rehab this week -- finally!
I was able to play my drums for the first time in a while.
Our dog is finally learning to play catch and not just fetch (she never understood the whole "bring the ball back" part).
My Dad's finally getting his spine fully worked up.
I'm starting a new research opportunity.
My Step Dad's biopsy came back benign.

Hmmmmm good things over the past week. Let's see:

Celebrated my 4th wedding anniversary with my soulmate
Found a German restaurant about 30 minutes away & it was good (Of course nothing compares to my mom's cooking!)
Found another college to consider enrolling at the offers a Health Information Technology degree totally online (just going to get absolutely hammered on student loans though)

Hopefully this week will bring some good things as well. Like a job & a buyer for my house.....lol (A girl can dream right?)

My brother called me after not talking to me for 1 year and being absent for 3 years. Crossing my fingers that all the praying I have done about this situation is working.

My grandma got out of the hospital.

Both my kids are in school today, so I'm home alone!
