- A warm cup of coffee in the morning.
- All of the kind people on Mastodon.
- Steadily checking things off my to-do list.

1) #Aikido this morning - and including the sensei class included three of the ukes from my series of tests up to this rank. (For various unusual reasons two of them for multiple tests.) So, basically, people I love to train with.
2) Gorgeous day for a “one-day chorus” with Marmalade Project in the #SFBotanicalGarden.
3) I think I am ready for a team event tomorrow. Planning it on my own as a proof of concept ahead of some crazy-big changes at work heading toward us over the next 9 months. (A little nervous.)
Three good things for today: 11/8/2026

Clean sheets.

Chocolate. We still have some of the sale candy we bought after Halloween.

A gorgeous autumn day with blue skies and colorful leaves.

🔵 Went on a date day yesterday and got yummy breakfast food 🍳🫐🥓
🟢 Got a couple pairs of new lip studs (blue opal and rainbow chrome spikes) and a sparkly bee belly ring. Also got some crayons and I actually really like using them. I never used to. Gonna pair them with some watercolour.
🟡 I bought my first Christmas present at the handmade store in the mall. Not starting in December this year! Probably going to get everyone a little something from there this year.

🏠 We're home after a long journey home, arrived at around 22:00. It was such a wonderful trip, am still smiling at the memories.
🐈⬛ The cats were so happy to see us, and that made coming home all the better. They are both with me now, and that's a VERY good thing
♨️ It's colder here than it was in Dublin, and the heating panel in the bedroom is definitely is a good thing and being able to use it without the enshittified app is even better :D

today's #ThreeGoodThings
music. it's a rare day when I don't make some form of music, these days. so much so that my Hebrew name means 'singing fox' in Ladino.
Judaism. I was never really religious, and to a degree I'm still not, but it's nice to be part of a community that, by and large, cares for its own. we need more of that, I think.
solidarity. a lot of folks stepped up to deliver the National Scolding, and it's that sustained organisation that has brought us a blue Texas once more. and I couldn't be prouder of my home state for all that work.

Gorgeous sunny Sunday morning and feeling content

Last week was a very inspiring work week, seeing participants of our programs who face barriers entering the Swiss tech job market connect with companies & hopefully land internships

Weekly writing pod facilitated by a colleague really seems to help me make writing a habit

1) #Aikido friend back from an injury. (Not from Aikido - horseback archery thing.)
2) Absolutely balmy day. (The warmth in November worries me, but it was still pleasant.)
3) Cleared the air with spouse & kiddo about a thing. (I was a jerk. Not my shining hour.)

- Rewatched the film "Tree of Life." Bittersweet, beautiful movie. Very much a "film school" movie — impressionistic and abstract — but I like it. To parents: you will cry. Potentially more than once.
- Updated my blog to be more fediverse-friendly. Now it's "official" on my profile + will reference me when I post its link.
- Only one more scripting course video to record + edit! Hoping to be all done before Thanksgiving break.
-
Registration opened for summer genealogy workshops and I was able to sign up for the one I wanted.
-
The glass studio had a big sale week and I found most of what I need at a good discount.
-
A nice nap helped make up for a rough night.

Three things that I am grateful for today:
🍂 ... the cool misty weather has made breathing much easier for me today. My body is still very, very tired. #pneumonia kicks ass and not in a good way. (I'm sure there's a silver lining somewhere.)
🍂 ... the pattering of rain on fallen leaves during my evening walk with Sadie. Very slow and steady. She's been such a good girl.
🍂 ... Listening to Kenneth Branagh narrate "the magician's nephew" while bundled in a warm fleece robe. I first read the Chronicles of Narnia when I was in elementary school. One year I was quite ill and home for a long time, it might've been with measles. My parents bought me my own boxed set. I read them over and over again.
