Bads and Goods

Bads

Onset of cold and fear of onset of cold

Pulled muscle in shoulder

Work to do all weekend

Missing my chico

People telling me what to do

The war, a war, this war, any war

Wobbly old chair

Wanting to sleep and sleep and sleep and having to work and work and work

Goods

Paprika, cayenne pepper, all pepper products

Hot tea

Wonderful sun filled living room

Life changing possibilities of new chair

Beautiful adorable siblings and wonderful family (missing them)

Steady job for now

Silk covered batik pillowcases in bedroom

To see el chico soon
