Remember the rule. Covid calories don’t count. Of course that’s only true until they do. I think the exercise involved in cookie making and clean up would take into account most of those calories.
Enjoy!

Haha! I like the way you think. Today I bought groceries, including supplies for for baking. This may be a slippery slope Just getting out and going for groceries was a treat! So that's today's good thing.
I enjoyed the cookies so much I'm going to make another batch, this time using red velvet cake mix. If they're too good for my own good, I have a friend with two teenagers I'm sure will eat some!
Today's good thing: I heard some interesting family stories while on a phone call with my older siblings.
One anecdote involved me as a toddler (I won't share the ones about them on the internet lol). We lived in a place with no running water, and the weather was freezing. My mom, likely preparing to wash clothes, had an aluminum tub full of ice water in the house, partially melted. . Because the surface was solid ice I decided it was a good place to sit. Of course I ended up in the drink, clothes and all! Too bad I can't remember! That, among other stories I hadn't heard before, made my day
It's always interesting to a hear a childhood story about yourself that you haven't heard before. I have a picture of you in that story, and it's worthy of a big smile.

In the interest of getting myself to initiate more connection with those in my life, I texted a cousin of mine I haven't seen for quite a while. Whenever the covid stuff settles down we're going to get together for coffee. I'm looking forward to it!
It's a good thing I've been walking for an hour or more every day lately, because there's a snowstorm forecast starting tomorrow morning. Gotta love springtime Another good thing today -- I had a great Skype call with a friend while we drank tea
One good thing is that we were fortunate enough not to have to evacuate, in spite of the huge grass fires in our area. I hope those who did are safe at home now.

Today I went walking, bundled up for the cold wind, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The bonus was seeing a big beautiful blue jay - such striking colours! Then what I think was his mate joined him. Then a third one! Not sure why there would be three; surely that couldn't be their offspring this early?!
