Good morning, Blendfriends. I hope you are beginning the weekend well. Sorry to be posting quite late; I slept badly and then deeply, so in the end I am rested for what will be a somewhat busy day. We got a couple inches of snow, which will be moved, and there will be the usual couple loads worth of laundry, which will be washed :D Workout will be stretching, or yoga. Then comes today's self-care -- I'm going downtown for a haircut. Truly a rare and wondrous occurrence. I was thinking about waiting till masks became optional, but ... I really want a haircut!

And that's my thought for the day, from the lovely Dale Cooper of Twin Peaks (so... maybe from David Lynch?):

“Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.”

If you take this advice, I'd love to hear what your present was, today! Remember that everyone's welcome to read and to post in our check-in threads 🤗. Have the best possible Saturday!
