Another week in lockdown down – grim, but tolerable, and grateful that I’m in a position to be able to stay home and work and study from here.

So I thought I’d try to focus on the positives (for a change) that happened this week:

• We’re a week further on. A week closer to some semblance of normality, and being able to see our loved ones again. Here in NY hospitalizations, deaths, and new cases have been dropping steadily for a couple of weeks now, and I hope we’re turning a corner – although it has meant so much tragedy for so many families.
• My daughters have done really well with online learning this week – they’ve settled into a routine with a good balance, and have handed all their work in on time. I daresay they might even be enjoying it.
• I’m almost done with the prerequisites I need for the Master’s in social work I’m starting in September. By Tuesday at the latest it should be all done and dusted, and I have an A+ in all courses.
• I have lots and lots of design work on – more than I can keep up with. I’m getting new ideas constantly, and it’s just getting the time to work on them. Oh, wait a minute – I have that!
• I cut my own hair last night and it looks fine. Is it even? Probably not – but I have curly hair! You can’t tell!
• I saved the best until last! One of my garden squirrels took a nut out of my hand! She’s done it 4 times now over the last 2 days. I am beyond excited – I have been trying to get to this point for years. I feckin love my wee squirrels!

What about you? What were your wins this week??
