things i am thankful for:
i can make a huge pot of stew good enough that no one regrets not having turkey and there’s only enough leftovers for one serving.

after knowing someone for most of my adult life, sometimes he brings his A-game, is an instigator to the annoyngth degree and knows where the buttons are to push – and pushes them repeatedly.
that zoë is content enough now, during a day of horrible windy rain in the morning, to stay inside. probably because it leads to mommy getting inventive and her getting a special bubble bath. also, i’m thankful for non-toxic, washable markers.

one word: hockey.
