Today I am grateful:

- Making valentines with the boy. I’m still covered with glitter, my cat is covered with glitter, my kitchen is covered in glitter. It’s pretty.
My computer is sad and sick, so I only have a few seconds to update.
I did most of it. I failed at the Nerd Dating. I decided to fail at not drinking caffeine. I haven’t finished cleaning my home. But I played games, dressed up, was social, had good blood sugars, a few surprizes and generally had a great month.
Mark this done.
