Here we are. October already. Nothing much has changed. 2020 is still crazy. Let’s find the good.

1. Dinner with my son last Sunday.
2. Football on TV
3. Limited contact with toxic people.
4. Playoff baseball on TV,
5. The Braves won their series and will play again this week.
6. I was able to get the lawn mowed over two days between the rains.
7. The weather has been generally nice.
8. Seeing my daughter for the first time in a few weeks.
9. A full weekend away from work.
10. My wife didn’t immediately say no to my last plan for quitting my job.

That’s it for the week.

If you enjoy my posts, please consider buying me a cup of coffee or something.

It was a week where I finally decided I needed to make the call to find a therapist was there good? Let’s see.

1. Ravens football on TV again and they won.
2. I won in fantasy football this week.
3. The Braves clinched the two seed in the playoffs.
4. My reading mojo seems to have returned.
5. The weather has been nice and cool.
6. Random call from my daughter Thursday morning.
7. Kentucky football is back. They lost, but they’re back.
8. Limited contact with toxic people this week.

That’s all I can think of this week.

Last night I posted all the less than good things from the week. Now it is time to see if I can find the good in the week.

1. NFL football is back. It was nice to have a day to watch the Ravens and follow fantasy football stats.
2. Dinner with my son Sunday night.
3. Braves baseball on TV.
4. I took my Friday off as a real day off and did nothing but watch movies and TV.
5. I’m reading more lately.
6. The weather has turned nice and cool.
7. My daughter and her friends all tested negative in the latest round of Covid testing at her school.

That’s all I can think of for the week.

Still adjusting to adding the empty nest to the pandemic and other stressful things. Finding the good is harder, but important.

1. Both kids home for a few hours over the weekend.
2. Labor Day meant one less day of work this week.
3. Coupons that encouraged us to order food rather than cook.
4. The flooding rains on Thursday missed my house.
5. NFL football on TV Thursday night.
6. The Braves are playing the Nationals this weekend so I’ve been able to watch them on TV.
7. College football on TV all day yesterday.
8. I actually read an entire book in less than a week this week.
9. Ravens play today.
10. The weather looks to be really good for an extended period.

That’s it for the week.

It was my first 5 day in a row work week since i went back to in person work. I don’t like it. I have two days to become independently wealthy so I don’t have to go back. I don’t think I’m going to make it. Let’s find the good.

1. We went for a hike last Sunday. It was good to get out of the house for something fun.
2. Dinner with my son on Monday.
3. Labor Day means another three day weekend.
4. The weather cooled off just in time for the long weekend.
5. Watching the Kentucky Derby with my daughter.
6. After two people dropped out of our fantasy football league at the last minute we were able to find two new people so we could still play.
7. Braves baseball on TV.

I think that’s it for the week.

Here we are at the end of August. Besides the weather, summer never really registered with me and it already over. Here’s hoping for a better fall. Was there good this week? Let’s see…

1. Bonus short visit from my daughter when she stopped by to get clothes she left behind.
2. Family dinner and game of Life.
3. Treated myself to carry out breakfast Friday morning.
4. Three day weekend due to furlough. I’m going to miss my furlough Fridays.
5. Got the yard mowed before all the rain Friday night.
6. Found excuses to rest more than do housework yesterday.
7. BOGO Chipotle for dinner last night.
8. Free chips and side as well, so two entrees and chips and guacamole for less than $10.
9. College football on TV.
10. I found a show to watch alone while my wife is still asleep.

That’s it for this week. I will keep trying to find the good each week even when it is hard.

This weekend we enter the time when good will be even harder to find. We are back to the empty nest so I don’t even have my TV time with my daughter to help overcome the bad of my work day. I have to be at work tomorrow afternoon when she is home for a dentist appointment. I might just stop doing these.

1. One last week spending time with my daughter before she moved to her apartment.

2. Two night of dinner with my son.

3. One of those nights was food truck night.

4. One last family game of Life.

5. No trouble moving her into her apartment.

6. Her negative COVID test result came back in time for her to move.

7. I was finally able to mow the yard.

I think that’s it for the week.
