ten good things

- Acquired an Inscribed Pangolin in Flight Rising! They are VERY PRETTY. I am VERY PLEASED. (I finally managed to be paying attention when Swipp himself was offering them. :D)
- The World's Worst Craft Project: Part II went okay, actually; turns out I only needed 10 of the remaining 16 pages, and I more-or-less remembered how I'd trimmed them last time round, AND the guillotine didn't scream at all.
- After we achieved dinner, we had more cheesecake & the migraine relented enough to let me have opinions while A played some more Gogoroa. LOVELY mechanism with cogs, yes good.
- PAKIDGE. Latest extravagant stationery purchase arrived. I have very little idea what I'm going to do with it (maybe I will resume attempts at poetry???) but I have been stroking it gently and telling it that it is Good Colours since it arrived.
- Good post-lunch snack: yoghurt, frozen raspberries from the allotment, one of the last round of dubious amaretti.
- Competently HTML-encoded data tables that will actually copy-paste into a spreadsheet with minimal pain.
- Social grooming; my hair feels nice.
-
vass' delightful fic. <3 (Tiny beta, cannot provide link (yet).)
- One of the things I did the weekend A was away -- not this one just gone but the one before -- was gather to me my courage and also my Ocado vouchers, and BUY A NEW ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. I don't understand why the previous one was deeply unpleasant and quite so prone to forming a wretched little puddle around its base, but it was, and to my intense relief the new one does not. And also seems to be living up to its claim that a single charge will last for two weeks of brushing teeth twice a day for two minutes each! (A conveniently-timed discount in addition to the voucher meant I managed to get it for about a third of the normal list price. Also, it's ridiculously goth -- not only has it a black handle, it was packaged with a black carry case AND A BLACK TOOTHBRUSH HEAD.)
- Even with the migraine I've managed a lot of moments of embodiment today that have felt actively good, and it was finishing up this exercise that got me to stop and notice (and briefly bask in) that.
