Yes, we were sideways for part of it and upside down for others, but we still got it together!<\/li>\n<li>For Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (and Royal Wedding homilist!), who is posting a meditation every Monday on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PBMBCurry\/\">his official Facebook page<\/a> while we are in the midst of COVID-19. The first one is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1062272080810912\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>For my black beastling who snuggled and napped with me today. Mama loves you, baby.<\/li>\n<li>That, in the midst of restaurants and bars being closed for everything except take-out or delivery, I can still mobile-order my latt\u00e9 from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starbucks.com\">$tarbux<\/a> every morning before 9:30 and have it brought to my car.<\/li>\n<li>For getting to start physical therapy tomorrow so that we can get me walking normally again.<\/li>\n<li>That Daniel got one more day of school today before he is off for six or more weeks. He is going to miss his teachers, aides, and specialists and they will miss him. (They love their kids like their own.)<\/li>\n<li>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pureleaf.com\/us\/products\/raspberry-flavor-iced-tea\">Pure Leaf Raspberry Tea<\/a> fresh out of the freezer. (I like drinks chilled, and this chills it relatively quickly.<\/li>\n<li>For <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\">YouTube<\/a> and the amazing things one can find on it.<\/li>\n<li>For discovering that I can set an image as a virtual background on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoom.us\">Zoom<\/a>.
