Joy dots: hearing the sandhill cranes who were roosting in the Rio Grande near my house, cuddle session with my husband and 2 of our dogs last night (I have been forgetting to start my posts with these)

Whenever my husband wants us to get stuff done on the weekend, I always tell him I need to wash up, brush my teeth and change out of my night clothes first. I know it's weird to wash up to go get dirty, but even if it's something really physical, I have to wash up to feel human and ready to get going.
