🤸 TREE 0345: Why is Thursday your favourite day of the week?
One.
In my family, neurotypical isn’t typical. Schedules and predictability are important to everyone. They are especially important to the wonderful people I live with. So I know the major things that are going to happen each day. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are things to get through. A few years ago, I decided that, instead of having some days I like and some days I don’t, it would be good to have a reason to look forward to every day of the week.
I love Thursdays because I go for a long run and – new for 2022! – I take the 10 year-old to the climbing gym and hang out with one of the dads there.
Do you want to notice something to love about every day? Here’s worksheet for you:
I love Monday because _____________________!
I love Tuesday because _____________________!
I love Wednesday because _____________________!
I love Thursday because _____________________!
I love Friday because _____________________!
I love Saturday because _____________________!
I love Sunday because _____________________!

My favourite lyric so far this year: You're down to earth, but not this one
This was the entire TREE hangout last night:
Just me, my dorky face and a pint of American pale ale.
Two thoughts:
I can do better at organising. I have already put some things in motion for March.
I’m going to do it in such a way that, if you’re not in North Wales, you don’t get bombarded with notices.
In 2022, out of necessity, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends and a little in the middle. Having a couple hours just to read and drink a couple pints of good beer did me a lot of good. It was time well wasted.

I really like the idea of scheduling something to look forward to during the week! It is easy to look forward to the weekend, but the weekdays need a little positive attention too. I've gone back to leisure reading, which I have missed out on for many years because I have been focused on reading self-development books. Which certainly have their place in the regular rotation, but there is something so relaxing about knowing that for the next hour or two, I am going to be doing nothing but immersing myself in another world.
Also, abdominal snowman is hilarious. ;-)
I love your approach to the days of the week. I typically struggle with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I like this tact and I'm gonna try it.
Also, the abdominal snowman. Ha. : )
Also, also, I love your bravery (yes, to me) of organizing a meet up. That to me is something scary -- because what if no one shows up. But you showed up! With a smile and a pint and a no problem if no one else came and I aspire to that!
