1. I forgot to put on blush and had to choose between looking paler than normal or streaking lipstick across my cheeks. After the second coworker asked me if I was feeling tired, I opted for the latter.
2. With patience, determination, and the clever use of folders, I got my work inbox under 100 emails, the threshold at which I go from "overwhelmed" to simply "busy."
3. Following a late-afternoon meeting with my new coworkers, I absentmindedly responded "Thanks, you too!" to someone who said "Bye" because I thought she was saying "Have a good night." Then I tried to fix it by saying "Have a good night" but I stumbled on my words and it came out "Have fun" and I walked away wondering how on earth I have a job in communications.
4. I got the new Facebook layout, in which photos show more prominently and shared content (like blogs) have a snazzy new font. This makes me want to write better, prettier blogs in the hopes that people will want to share them. Starting tomorrow.
5. I saw a bit of grass at the edge of my lawn where the snow had finally melted a little bit. Two hours later, it started snowing.

7. I gave away the Diaper Genie.
8. I read a chapter of Harry Potter to the kids and got tears in my eyes. The heartbreaking things that poor boy wizard has to endure! I remember being emotionally affected by these books the first time I read them, but I think it's even worse now that I have kids.
9. Felix and I shared a "cuddle tent," an invention of his which cleverly combines hugging and hiding under blankets right before bedtime. It washed away all the frustration I had felt earlier in the day when he threw a tantrum because his sister walked into the house before he did.
10. In deference to a growing need for sleep, and my inability to focus long enough to type out a coherent and cohesive blog, I decided to make this list. Tomorrow, I plan to be rested and ready to follow a single thought to completion.
Sleep well, friends. We deserve it.
