Random gratitude

 
- Taking a moment to note that after a ton of walking in Wisconsin - including lots of going up and down hills - my calves hurt that evening and the next morning. But they were fine a day or so later. Amazed that my body can bounce back so well.

- Going into the office and seeing lots of PRIDE flags. (Which is especially nice given that LGBTQ groups have issued a state of emergency in this country)

- Last Saturday and this past Saturday got to go to the farmer's market

- Ann brought me diet Dr Pepper!! Thank you, Ann!

- Loving my new sandals. Ordered 2 pairs and both are great.

- On Friday, Doris and I had a picnic at the botanic gardens. It was awesome

- There's a candy store in downtown OP. It also has 6 types of ice cream and one of them is vegan!! The guy who might be the owner was there and he said he felt it was important to offer a vegan option even though he has very little space for ice cream. There were also a ton of other vegan goodies there. It is nice to be able to go somewhere and walk out like everyone else with a scoop of ice cream on a cone (instead of like the packaged vegan ice cream at groceries stores)

- And got a nice note (email) from our neighbor

- Nothing much in the fandom realm except that I posted a new chapter of my fic 3 hours ago and already got 2 new comments. And this fic looks almost guaranteed to make it to 100 kudos. (It's at 93 now and was at 88 before I posted the new chapter)
