The good day!

Today was a really good day! I was feeling like myself and extremely productive. I was able to accomplish many things:

• I watched half an episode of Call the Midwife (intend to finish later);
• I cleaned my living room rug with baking soda and Rui vacuumed when he got home;
• I picked up some flowers for my mantel;
• I dried and put away the dishes from yesterday’s dinner;
• We went out for bread, butter and milk;
