I’m grateful Emma did the emotional labor of: - saying sorry for unintentionally eating the last Mac and beef empanada. Saying sorry for the both of us is hard so I will always immensely appreciate it as I’ll do better to apologize if/when I’m wrong. Neither of us knew it was the last one. We’ll get em next time 🥲😂 - Saying “peeved” instead of pissed off at terrible drivers because I know it’s hard in the moment due to immediate anger - Worrying that I’d burn myself for getting too close to super hot sheetpan. (This is me just being an idiot) Baby girl, I swear I’d be fine, but thank you for the concern - thinking about our dog Bella’s mortality (due to cancer) and vulnerably crying over it. I FEEL you even if I don’t outwardly show it

1. Grateful that Laura made dill cream cheese with me this morning, even though the first conversation we had today was about me taking on an academic/social commitment without asking her, a sticking point in our relationship. 2. Grateful that Laura did emotional labor of answering budgeting questions, some of which I could have found the answers to myself. 3. Grateful that Laura kept the timing of our weekend plans in her head today, even though I currently have more free time/mental space. 4. Grateful that Laura interacted with our property manager (we are renters) about a task she had asked us to do today. I easily could have managed the task myself but wanted her to make sure I “did it right” (weaponized incompetence/making her the project manager)

I’m grateful my wife organised the Halloween party. Having foresight to ensure we had enough food for all the kids who came over. I’m also grateful that she had organized getting the new school uniform and books for my daughters new school that starts in January 3, I’m grateful that Mel had set boundaries for my older daughter when it came to finishing her homework. It’s something I should have spoken with her about before.
