Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. I was feeling on the knife’s edge of illness this week (there’s a bug going around school), so came home after work and got into bed and slept for four hours. Fingers crossed that did the trick. (So far, so good.)

2. I celebrate October’s arrival by eating candy corn.

3. I asked for more school gear so I didn’t have to constantly be doing laundry on weeks where I had multiple games. The athletic director accommodated my request, handing over a whole pile of shirts, including a couple long sleeves. I love the dark blue tech fabric and the fact that you can’t see through them, like the two white shirts I got last year.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?

Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. Rudi returned home from his trip to Canada. I believe it’s his last trip away until after Thanksgiving.

2. Saturday was a cold, drizzly day of outdoor volleyball, and after we wrapped up, we decided the day required soup instead of our usual Mexican fare. Ramen perfectly hit the spot.

3. I baked for my middle school playing squad and for my jv team, since they both had games on Monday night. They appreciated the cookies.

Honestly. I just found this open in a tab, where I had written it but not hit publish. This is from last week:

Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. Awakening to a cat curled up tight in the crook of my knees because it is cold in the apartment

2. A bathroom that is 98% finished (the fan just needs to be replaced)

3. Remembering to tune in to Howie Rose’s final Mets radio broadcast (he stopped traveling with the team a few years ago, so the timing coincided with their last home game of the season)
