#3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings 1) On my morning bike route down Center Street in West #Oakland, there are a number of growing sinkholes. Some neighbor decided to spray paint a penis shape around each one. #CivicEngagement can be fun! (Or, when a “dick” move is the right option for your street.) 2) There seem to be several clans of #crows in SF, and they visit each other on some rotating schedule. From the growing gatherings, they’re either returning to our neighborhood or some local groups are just collecting near the #SFZenCenter for a pre-party. 3) Kiddo’s been going through a rough patch. She’s been so resilient & hit a limit. But the way my spouse supports her is a master class in “clear is kind” and emotional intelligence. I’m a little in awe.

Three things that I am grateful for today: 🍂 ... my housekeeper. She wasn't able to be here last weak because I was not yet well enough. But today, my apartment is sparkling. 🍂 ... the wind! I really really love blustery days. 🍂 ... knitting. My grandmother taught me to knit when I was very young, but I didn't really take it up until I was in my 40s. Basically, I knit squares and rectangles and the patterns are very minimal. But I love the motion and the creation and the colours and the textures. #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #gratitude

  1. Rain. And snow, at higher elevations, and a full-on blizzard in the Ulukhaktok region. (Yes, this is day 5 of rain in this atmospheric river so far! and the heaviest!)

  2. Learning opportunities - I will be signing up for 4 classes/learning events as soon as my purchased membership is approved.

  3. Wet Coast Wools! a #LYS / dealer, who is my supplier of #ShetlandYarn. I got a lot of #knitting done, and ordered more #yarn, today!

  1. After many hours of searching I finally found the German military record for my final homework assignment.

  2. I learned a LOT about the Battle of Waterloo and other military events in 1815.

  3. I'm grateful that I tested the purity of my fused glass overglaze. Now I know it's time to buy a new bottle to avoid future problems.

  1. #Wikimedians, even the days when the topics I am researching lead to bleak or disturbing conclusions. They did the work first, and winnowed the links and resources to just the important stuff.

  2. Rain glorious rain, in a range from almost misting to nice and audible.

  3. Frozen pizza and oven hot.

#ThreeGoodThings • charity shop manager and i made serious progress on clearing some of the vinyl / cd / dvd backlog this morning. partly by storing them much more efficiently, which is not true progress, but it does mean it is once again possible to walk around the books table. • baked some vegan ginger cookies to take as a small birthday offering for my daughter tomorrow. • have made it through the day senza nap, which surprised me. unless maybe i micro-napped without noticing. i didn’t operate any heavy machinery today, luckily, so no one was endangered by any micronapping that occurred.
