The Wife, friends, and dad humour

Every Thursday, I share three good things from today, in the past week, and/or in the week or weeks to come, to focus on what is good. I encourage you to join me and share in the comments, if you want, or in your own journal, or both, whatever works for you.

This week is off the top of my head, as I’ve been running errands most of the day and didn’t draft this yesterday or earlier in the week as I often do. So, here we go:

  1. Monday, my wife said, was the first day she felt “normal” after returning from the hospital last month and going back to work mid-month this month. And today she had a fitting for compression sleeves for her legs with a lymphedema therapist at our local hospital and was able to walk in with no trouble. A month ago, she had a hard time getting to the office and I drove her. Today, she went by herself.
  2. Catching up with friends over the last few weeks, whether in person via phone or email or at the library where I work. I am so grateful for their friendship.
  3. Bingewatching Corner Gas, a Canadian comedy that aired from 2004 to 2009 and now is available on Freevee, yesterday afternoon. It was the dad humor, or humour, I needed. We’re on the final season after watching it over the last several years here and there.

Author’s Note: Variations of “3 Good Things Thursday” can be found across the Interwebs and to which I was introduced by Deb Nance of the blog Readerbuzz who does hers every Sunday as part of her Sunday Salon post.

    1. You have to be in the right mood (silly) for it.

    That clip from Corner Gas made me laugh! I haven’t heard of that show before.

    I am so glad Kim is feeling better; what a relief! And catching up with friends is always a good thing.

    This week I am glad for relaxed work days and lots of good reading.

  4. I’m so glad your wife feels like she is back to normal. Being with friends is always a huge boost for my mood.

    1. Even talking to friends on the telephone is good too. To know you are not alone.

  5. I wrote this long comment and it wouldn’t let me post it. Anyway, happy that Kim is on the mend.

    1. Sorry, Ti. I’ll see if it is something in my settings. I have a new post today too

    2. Looks like it might be limited by my theme and I’m on a cheap plan so I can’t customize that.
