Daily 5 - Year 4, Day 64

Today's Daily 5:

1. a result with my fitbit that showed I was sedentary for less than 50% of my waking hours today (that makes me rather happy since it's kind of a rarity in my schedule these days)
2. a really great patient to care for
3. a great nurse to work with tonight
4. that the painkillers I took to handle the aching muscles from falling yesterday actually were effective
5. listening to a James Herriot audio book and having fond memories of childhood roadtrips

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 62

Today's Daily 5:

1. a midterm that could have been so much worse
2. the joy of standing in a hot shower after a very chilly commute home from school
3. wearing my new winter coat, scarf and hat, and being complimented several times on how I looked today (it did my ego a bit of good to feel pretty and have it recognized!)
4. a nice long evening phone date with a dear friend
5. a lot of laughing over things that could definitely make a private daily 5 list for the day if I were to take the time to compose one!

Daily 5 - Year 4, Day 61

Today's Daily 5:

3. finishing a novel that enthralled
4. waffles and turkey bacon for supper
5. an email with a couple photos of one of my favorite baby girls
