Positively Tuesday- Lord Help the Mister

      It's too early to drag out White Christmas, but after my sister's weekend, thought this little diddy appropriate. We can still 55 years after all being sister's, defend each other to the core, but we also can have a whirlwind of different thoughts and opinions, and we're not shy sharing. 

     It's my weekly set aside to share my joys, simple pleasures, and smiles for the prior week. Things are not all roses, or rather sunflower's or daisy's as I prefer, but the flowers peek through every day.

Tuesday: The day started rocky, not going into details, but it got better. The day weather wise was still unusually warm. I enjoyed extra sniffy walks with the dogs. 

Wednesday: The day started with me crying at 6:45 to learn someone sat on an email for a week without passing it on, leaving me scrambling to complete yet one more thing for the project from hell. The good thing was I could find what was needed. I met friends for trivia. We were first at the half, but picked the wrong megaround and gave up points, placing second just .5 points behind. I really like getting out with this group of friends. 

Thursday: I brought grandpup home to his house. I resolved yesterday's work issue. Puppy was an absolute joy to spend the day with, and we took a noon walk. Later when my daughter got home, we took a walk together before I went home. Pup was so happy to see me, but I think he might actually have missed the puppy. 

Friday: Friday started more seasonably cooler and windy weather. The most lovely simple pleasure after walking pup in the cold, brusk morning was walking into the nice cozy warm house. I got to talk with my younger daughter who booked her end of December logistics for post Spain Study program. I also scheduled one of those Christmas market days with the mom friends for December 3. It's nice to have things on the calendar by choice not obligation. 

Saturday: Despite the damp and cool day, we had a good day starting with breakfast out then shopping, followed by more food and drink at a local to the lake bar and grill, before heading to lake house for the rest of the night. Unfortunately a sister's husband had a medical issue, so she stayed behind but she joined in later for facetime for a couple hours. 

Sunday: We had a lesisurely morning with coffee, juice, fruit, and muffins before all packed up to get home. I enjoyed a walk with pup, the Vikings win with DH, and then went to my daughter's. She unfortunately didn't have a fun weekend trying to keep an active puppy with new stitches calm. It helped having me there so she could get a bit of sleep. Between the meds, daylight savings time change, and just puppiness, his bathroom needs and sleeping pattern need to reset. The sister that couldn't come, her husband ended up in urgent care Sunday morning but we got a positive report later that he's doing better.

Monday: With grand pup recovery, I stayed with him at my daughter's yesterday. There was beautiful sunlight in the morning before gray and overcast took over, which he loves,  streaming in her east facing big windows over her window seat.

     Work was "fine"- no major new issues, but the only really good thing I have to say about work right now is it's a steady paycheck. I'm not even feeling mission inspired. Maybe tomorrow after the election is done and I know what the education sector might be facing, I'll get my passion sparked again. That's my positivity about work this week. Home projects that keep piling up and undone and  family stuff are still challenging, but I feel like DH, my kids, and I are supporting each other and that's a very positive part of life. There's things I wish that were different, but considering the whole picture, my life is good. Please share the positives in your life right now.
