Trying to come up with #3GoodThings on a Monday morning...
1. Vote-by-mail ballots cast by my wife + I
2. Niece just bought her first house
3. Received my annual royalty statement for my Webcomics book. It's not enough that they'll cut a check, but I'm still pleased it continues to sell at all
Hello there...every day that I use Mastodon, I like to list three things that I like as a contribution towards a positive online space, as well as my own headspace. If you did this today, what would feature on your list?
01. have a busy week ahead but looking forward to it
02. our eldest comes home tonight
03. I ran to the shop last night and got there just in time to get some Easter eggs for my wife before it closed (one last Mother's day treat)
Hope whoever reads this can have a nice day.

Three good things today.
There were a lot today, I got to sleep in, had time with my partner, and got to see a doctor (not fun, but decidedly "good"). Later I get to go to a mystery film with friends.
But all were beat out by this moment this afternoon at the City Library.
1. I was sitting in a packed public library, looking at an art installation.
2. A young man was playing beautifully on the piano.
3. I was eating a fancy chocolate that I bought myself after the doctor.
I made eye contact with the pianist accidentally and then he stopped and left. I hope I didn't scare him off, he was brilliant.
Let's try to translate yesterday into #3goodthings then
1. It was sunny, even if chilly, and even if lunch was indoors, I sat outside for half an hour in morning, reading a book about sailors in WW1
2. We travelled safely
3. Good food, and I only had to wash up after our breakfast, I definitely ate well yesterday!
1. it's Sunday, slept in
2. got paid for last week
3. czech pale lager with kielbasa, chili, and Asian style cole slaw while watching Yellowjackets and Elon crying about Tim Walz being mean to him
1) got scheduled for an earlier shift today (a rarity because I don't mind closing, while i know a lot of people do) so I was able to be home for dinner and to put a few hours into playing genshin impact
2) partner made spaghetti & meatballs for dinner. yum!
3) laundry is laundered!
1. Dinner with friends went really well!
2. Session 0 of the campaign was fun, my character is ridiculous.
3. My house is so sparkly clean. It's not a show home by any stretch, but it's still so much nicer than it was.
#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings
1) Gorgeous weather for a long lunch outdoors with wife’s nephew and his new wife in #Gaithersburg.
2) Afternoon homemade hazelnut cake & coffee with friends & mother-in-law, followed by a walk in balmy weather.
3) Kiddo coming out of her shell with people. Love it when others get to see how funny and sharp she is.
Three good things for today: 3/30/2025
1. Coffee
2. Antihistamines
3. Visine eye drops
#3GoodThings
1. Being able to spontaneously go to the local cafe for lunch.
2. Dinner being made by my 8-year-old with (almost) no help.
3. Waking up to a job worth doing.
1. A morning of puttering and prepping in the kitchen that should make dinner tomorrow a lot easier.
2. Indulged in a shampoo at the hair salon.
3. Delicious Thai curry and spring rolls for lunch and dinner.
1. I practiced shamisen today, and despite feeling like it was awful yesterday…it felt less awful today! Recording down below with a bunch of mistakes, but improving slowly! 
2. Made my famous damian vegetarian Japanese curry for the fam today. Not famous like you’ll see it on the news…and hopefully not in an “outbreak of something or other” sort of way, but my point is they seemed to like it! Kid included! (Phew) 
3. While the monotonous undertone of Monday draws a darkening shadow across us all, let’s revel in the fact that the weekend was pretty alright.

#3GoodThings for today
1. Went for AYCE sushi. Arrived at exactly the time the lunch price ended and dinner price started. We were charged the less expensive lunch price anyway.
2. Got two prebonsai trees from one of my favourite garden centres for cheap. They're a juniper and an olive.
3. Got my Asian grocery fix, including my favourite Asian-brand canned sardines, fried tofu, and jackfruit.
1. Introduced my son to blues, which he calls now bbq music as you can eat bbq while listening to it
2. Somewhat relaxing day
3. Quality time with my daughter
Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Closed all my rings and got over 10K steps in. 
2. Managed to read some Braille today and get laundry done. Didn’t finish a chapter but I read.

Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world.
