November 11 Day 248: Full of Thanks

Thank you to those that have served.

Thankful for this holiday.

Thankful for my family and friends.

My plan was initially to try and catch up on work. I found I couldn’t focus. After a few essential errands and emails, I did nothing (or practically nothing) for the rest of the day. I snuggled under a warm blanket and watched the Queen’s Gambit.

Grading can wait.

And I don’t even feel guilty about it. Maybe I am getting better at this thing they call “balance”.
