Paneer, Lazarus laptop (and caterpillar), and steampunk

Today's good things:

Being told that yes, Seward Co-op does sell paneer, they just hide it really well in the cheese section!! I am Very Excite about this.

Getting my new power cord and having my laptop successfully charge. I was quite worried that the laptop was dead.

Talking with people on my weekly Zoom social call. It helps.

Getting another steampunk author (Michael Merriam) for an upcoming panel.

Good things from previous days:

I started the day out feeling okay, with some energy and enthusiasm.
Free coffee, thanks to a filled punch card.
Theia cuddles.
Cleaning up one corner of Theia's bedroom. That was a BIG chore.
The kids' caterpillar started to move around again. I had honestly thought it was dead.
Phil found out about zoo camp.

Trader Joe's "mini samosas" (not real samosas, but yummy) and homemade lassi (tastes most authentic made with water, not milk)
Reading Accepting the Lance
Picking up House of Shattered Wings from the library.
Getting the free Inventor Camp materials boxes, and being really impressed by them. The kids will be making flying robots!
Planning to do the virtual MIA family day. It feels good to have plans.
Story sale! I sold the reprint rights of "In Their Image" to After-Dinner Conversations

I hear you about things being rough :/ I am glad you found something that helps. I look forward to more good things lists! (I started doing something similar this year, for similar reasons.)
