Three Good Things
1. Took a walk in the sunshine
2. Got a new plotbunny (story idea)
3. Nice feedback on an uncommercial (German language) book project I have finished.
Today's good things included:
- tadpoles: there are a lot of them in the university's botanical garden! They don't have legs yet though
- pizza dough: K1 helped make it
- shower: all kids had one and have super fluffy hair that smells good again

Three good things today:
1. I was in the woods and I didn't actually walk very far. Because I kept stopping and taking pictures. And I had tea by the river. Lovely spring weather.
2. We had a nice visit from friends.
3. My wife baked the so-called Jack's buns with jam. National dish, yeast-risen sweet dough, which after being stretched and pressed together in many pieces, forms typical cubes with plum jam inside.
Wir waren mit dem Kind in einem Freilichtmuseum – im Grunde ein großer, ziemlich leerer Park mit ein paar Häusern von früher. Außerdem gab es, verstreut übers Gelände, einige Spielgeräte. Es war herrlich.
Das Kind hat vormittags auf dem Spielplatz Spaß gehabt, obwohl wir Eltern die meiste Zeit beide dabei waren. Das finde ich eine gute Entwicklung.
Das Kind hat zum zweiten Mal überhaupt und zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit sein großes Geschäft ins Töpfchen gemacht. Es ist für uns etwas leichter zu entsorgen, aber vor allem fürs Kind vermutlich angenehmer. Das andere Elter hatte das richtige Gespür, als das Kind aufs Töpfchen wollte, und hat Knete geholt, sodass es auf dem Pott etwas spielen konnte. Dadurch wurde die Zeit nicht lang und hat es geklappt. Poop poop hooray!

Tiny delights this Sunday morning:
1. seeing a vibrant patch of camas on my morning walk
2. while clearing a bed so I could plant new babies, a tiny goldfinch landed on a dandelion stem a few feet away and had a little feast of dandelion seeds while I watched.
3. having a whole week ahead of me with no appointments and few errands.
Today:
- I had a good baking session, with hot bread for lunch
- it’s been a beautiful warm day and I went for a longer walk
- I put in my last-day submission to the Covid Inquiry and was really encouraged to see lots of fedi friends doing the same
#ThreeGoodThings:
- I had an offline day (although I did jump online to do a submission for the covid enquiry, and am obviously online now)
- I enjoyed a morning walk in the autumn sunshine
- I made felafel wraps for dinner
Three good things for today: 4/26/2025
1. Got caught up on assorted geology YouTube videos.
2. Pots washed, dishwash run, and everything put away.
3. Visine eyedrops.
1) Found out I'm gonna be a dad, which is awesome. We're keeping it a secret to family for a little while so don't tell anybody >_>
2) Yesterday I made some naan that was under-fermented, but it was a double batch so today's was perfect.
3) Went to the garden center and now I'm going to have 3 separate gardens this summer (raised bed, herb garden, and indoor hydroponics). I have a hunch they won't all last but if I only keep 1 I'll be happy.
1. I bought seven books from my favorite local independent bookstore today for #IndependentBookstoreDay. A simple task, but I felt like I was slaying dragons.
2. I watched my husband read his section for the annual Moby Dick Readathon at our local library. I love that he participates every year!
3. I’m having a cozy read in tonight with the pup, some light piano jazz, and all the twinkle lights.
+ Shoppen mit Menschy (auch wenn ich erfolgreicher war)
+ Lecker Abendessen
+ Neue Tasche
Tiny delights for Saturday:
1. a local plant swap where everyone just rolls up, sets their plants on the ground, and everyone takes what they want. I got some lovely elecampane plants, a sweet little sedum, and a tiny baby chamomile.
2. Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer on my headphones helping me get the dishes done.
3. Reacting to a ginormous, fuzzy mullein plant with some serious cute aggression. ("OMG it's so fuzzyyyyyyyyyy aaaaaaaah")
1. I get to do my favorite part of any project, figuring out a domain name for it. One that I already have or a new one? A new one of course, all the others are... yeah.
2. So I crossed the Rubicon with one of my side hustles. Very exciting, much wow.
3. I made an abomination of a tool that uses Rust but shoe-horns in a Python function. But it works. Kind of.

1) Son is now so good at driving a bike that we can use it to go places - and I have a new non-e- bike to drive there with him. It's so much fun for both of us. Went to a museum and the library.
2) I got to sleep in for the last week, and sleeping in my natural rhythm was so nice! It's 0-8/9. Not school or work compatible, at all.
3) I made sesame brittle (Krokant), and it's so good and easy! I'm not buying brittle again ever.
- managed to clean up the #WikiTree profile of my ancestor Michael #Pfefferle https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pfefferlin-5 from Ober-#Münstertal (but am still not , if we really found his baptism)
- one could say, that I cooked lunch
- some nice chats with nice people during the afternoon

Three good things today:
1. Lots of sleep and rest today.
2. I cooked miso soup with cabbage and tofu, it was good.
2. Long phone conversation with a friend from the climate movement and then a long chat with a friend about our lives and problems.
Today's good things included:
- bike ride: the first longer one with the two older kids biking themselves. They did very well and had a lot of fun
- scaly friends: the first lizards of the year were spotted, enjoying the sun on a log (see picture)
- avocado toast: the first I've had in a long time, with a perfectly ripe avocado
Ich brauchte nach dem Einkaufen relativ spontan zwei Stunden Pause. Das andere Elter hat mir das ermöglicht
Extrem nettes Treffen auf dem Spielplatz am späten Nachmittag. Spiel und Spaß bei guter Laune.
Leckeres Abendessen mit unerwartet niedrigem Drama-Faktor. (Wenn es sooo schön auf dem Spielplatz war, fällt das Kind manchmal ein bisschen in ein Loch. Aber das Loch war nicht so tief heute. Oder wir haben es gut aufgefangen.)
