[#]ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings

1. Home, and looking forward to a normal day tomorrow, after five days of Dad and two+ days of off-site work events.

2. Got recognition from my spouse for having worked hard to be normal after my upbringing. 🤪

3. Got to see my extended team in one place for two days!

1. Managed to use the hotel gym before going to my first meetings.

2. My boss is back from other assignments required of him over the last six months. It is good to have him returned to us.

3. Kiddo had first day of high school swim practice. Communication and organization in advance were horrible. But she had a good time & felt good with how she did in the first practice trials. So, yay! (I am away, so my dear spouse helped with transportation. Priceless.)

Forgot last night! Long week.

1. Dad could not check in for flight, and that turned out to be a signal that flight got delayed to a 2 AM boarding time! Had time to get a refund & a reasonable flight. (Is the signal or the time to respond the good thing?)

2. Had my own travel after dropping him at the airport. Drove to my destination, checked in to the hotel, graded 1/3 of the student assignments. Feel accomplished!

3. Bartender poured extra to take to my room!

1. #Alcatraz with my kiddo and my dad today. 30 years here and this is my first trip to the Rock.

2. Visits that inspire us to do the things in our towns that #tourists travel great distances to see! (When I lived in Paris I skipped most of the attractions, too.)

3. Dad thawing enough to be vulnerable - so we can have real talks instead of acting out imitations of sharing.

[#]3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

1. Took Dad hat shopping in #NorthBeach. He got two.

2. The pretzels this morning from #Hahdough in #HayesValley were so fresh from the oven the proprietor offered me a second bag to put the first one in, “so you don’t burn yourself.”

3. Trip to #MarineMammalCenter. Not their busy season, but so gorgeous today in the #MarinHeadlands.

1. Kiddo is fever-free today.

2. #JapaneseTeaGuarden in #GoldenGatePark with dad.

3. Spouse has some energy this evening.

This cold, flu, or whatever hit each member of the family differently. We are all so tired of it.

[#]3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

1. It was fun being a tourist in my own town today. #CoitTower was almost deserted and the view was gorgeous this morning. Cappuccinos at #CaffeTrieste, then actually excellent #DimSum in Chinatown.

2. Spouse is feeling better & we all got to eat at the table today.

3. Dad is better 1:1 than in a group. I think my spouse scares him, & he got into monologue loops (3-5 topics on repeat) at dinner but I can redirect 75% of the time into a conversation. New skill.

[#]ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings

1. Day 1 of visit from dad did not go as planned - but it was still our first good day together in… decades.

2. Surgeon made a good case for why my repair is almost certainly intact. He’ll send me for imaging but doubts there is anything to see. I have never been so happy to be thought a fool.

3. Spouse and kiddo are sick - but that let me hang out with dad with fewer distractions. I think he does better in that situation. (Hope everyone feels better tomorrow!)

[#]3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

1. Surgeon will see me tomorrow. I did not expect to get an appointment so quickly!

2. I am able to take a few days off this week for my dad’s visit.

3. My cold is almost cleared, and fingers crossed for tomorrow!

This quote is from a #NYTimes newsletter:

‘Steve Bannon, a longtime Trump adviser, is feuding with Musk: “He’s a truly evil person,” Bannon said. “Stopping him has become a personal issue for me.”’

A ploy known as the pot calling the kettle “bitch.”

Today’s #ThreeGoodThings are mostly… let’s just call them “silver linings.”

1. Some people in my work group missed some important goals last year, and it turned out badly. But I get to dig in with them to make some positive changes faster than if it hadn’t blown up.

2. I reinjured my arm that got surgery. I am so mad. Waiting to talk to the surgeon to see how bad it is. But it hurt a lot less than the first injury.

3. I still have this cold - but feel way better than yesterday.

1. We got the laundry done & folded before dinner! Never happens.

2. My cold feels much better tonight (although looks like the kiddo got it - but that means a day off from school).

3. Trying to get back into the swing of things for this quarter & prepping for a student conference, watched the recording of my last discussion of this capstone assignment. The guy in that video seemed to know what he was talking about! Restored some confidence that had slipped a bit.

The most realistic parts of the #StarWars movies:

1. Greed and gullibility are the critical weaknesses of a Republic.

2. You thought the fascists got blown up for good, but here they come again. Sometimes they change names.

3. Hiding in a desert or a swamp is looking pretty good RN.

[#]ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings

1. Caught a cold, but it is minor. Gave me an excuse to nap!

2. Spouse is a super-planner, and helped with working out visit from my dad next week (for the first time in 15 years or so). I really needed the help!

3. Gorgeous day, perfect for taking it slow (see illness note above).

[#]3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

1. I think we’ve mostly sorted transportation logistics for the upcoming high school swim season. This is a big relief. I was stuck and my spouse as usual came up with good options to discuss.

2. This morning’s baby #earthquake did not have a bigger sibling. #SFBA

3. A colleague who may have triggered tough departures has now left the organization. Not all change is bad. (Although it can be tiring even when it’s good.)

[#]ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings

1. Productive discussions with two of my team leads. I think each one of us tends to get mad when people reporting to us don’t overcome their own weaknesses all by themselves. Yup, me included.

2. No #Aikido for at least another 12 weeks (although surgeon wants it to be longer than that), but getting into a gym routine. Just can’t work that biceps, which is very limiting, but I can get a lot of cardio!

3. First group meeting with new big boss. Promising start! 🤞

My heart goes out to our southern neighbors in #LA dealing with the horror of #wildfires and smoke. Those winds are just a big blowtorch right now… #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings posts are for my own mental health, but the people living through that are not forgotten.

1. Finally have the outline of a swim team schedule for the kiddo. (New coach, chaotic district.)

2. Finally got my full crew back after holidays and illness.

3. Kiddo’s clarinet teacher has flexibility as swim changes the schedule.

1. Day 2 of back to school & work. We have so far survived. Send coffee.

2. More leadership changes in my organization. I will miss the outgoing folks (all different reasons for going) but I am optimistic about new perspectives coming in.

3. I did not gain enough weight over the holidays (and convalescence) to stop my work clothes from fitting. It’s a close thing, but all the zippers worked!

1. Repaired the shower, got to shower. (We’re renters but the landlord’s handyman is… Let’s say I would rather buy the part & fix things than let him in here.)

2. Talked to youngest sister. A year ago she was in a coma in an ICU, fighting the flu (complicated by vaping lung injuries). So much is better now, beyond just her medical recovery.

3. #AgathaAllAlong was really good. Complicated in a good way. Loved watching it with spouse & kiddo - just sad it’s over.
