Three positives from your day

1. none of my students failed the test i gave them
2. won 2 bottles of wine in a charity lotery
3. Survived another day at work
 
1. My car passed the MOT swiftly and painlessly. Phew.

2. I had 22 to-do items on my list today. I got all of them ticked off. Plus more.

3. Weirdly, the entire day has ran smoothly despite the madness of it all, including some unexpected moments. Timings were perfect from one thing to another, the traffic never too bad from one place to another, the whole day just 'worked'.
 
1. I got to spend time with my stepdaughter today. It’s her Birthday this weekend and the first Birthday/Christmas without her late mother. It was much needed.

2. I didn’t have to work today. It was the last holiday day I had left and meant I could get some jobs done.

3. Had a lovely meal out this evening. I am truly stuffed.
 
1. I visited my favorite jeweler, whom I've known for decades (and have helped put his kids through college!) and got some special presents for my wife and two daughters.

2. I had a WONDERFUL visit with three beautiful, amazing nurses that I've known for many years. Nurses who have been through a lot together have a special bond that is often more intimate (non-sexual) than they have with their own family. It made me feel really good.

3. Got the first couple of batches of Christmas cookies done tonight.
 
1. Even though I have to work today and tomorrow, I am surrounded by people I love.

2. Our two daughters will both be in town, a rare and wonderful treat.

3. I am grateful for every opportunity I have to interact with others, and that gratitude extends to all of you.
 
1 servived the maddening crowds
2 contened to be at home
3 going to deliver secret santa to each door in my apartment block. Shhh

1) 2025 is finally almost over

2) the racial abuse I encountered today was online rather than IRL, so it didn't sting as much

3) i'm likely to get drunk and wake up hung over in a stranger's bed, so i'll start 2026 with nowhere to go but up. Just like last year.

Cheers
 
- Work didn't call me at 5am this morning.
