I worked out how to work around my anxiety instead of letting it turn me into a mess.

Our front door is sagging on the hinges and super hard to open and close. It’s in steel/is a fire door and needs to be professionally remounted.
We rent, so I didn’t have to do anything other than submit an online notice to our maintenance guy. He arranged everything, we pay nothing, we’re going to take the dog and baby for a walk today and come home to a miraculously fixed door. Sometimes, not owning is awesome.

Our water pressure went screwy last night and the water utility was very prompt about sending someone out to fix it. Yay!

I just finished a hike with @MonkeyJenga and her friend and I think I did not injure my feet further. And then I went down to get food at one of my favorite places and made it there 15 minutes before closing (I didn’t even realize they closed in the afternoon!). The server said it was too late to order my usual salmon kama, but then said she wanted one as well, so she put in the order for me

Same sentence again today, different member of the administrative cabinet. Despite my protestations, looks like I’m being offered a new job with roughly a data scientist’s duties and salary…
(And I think I can probably do it.)

Colbert and John Mulaney had a remarkably real conversation on Feb 14 and I get to witness it.
They talked about anxiety and how it works with the need to be liked.

I don’t know how I did it, but the school nurse calls Mr. Meer first instead of me. I fucking love it. Emotional labor win!
(Brought to you by a low key FYI call about my offspring biting his own knee for some reason. Why, child, why?)

Candied coconut from Hawaii is the best snack ever.
Tiny complaint: I should’ve brought more of it home.
Also tiny complaint: I think it’s making me farty? Don’t care. It’s so good.

My renewed licence came today, with the federal gold star of gold starriness, so that is good. There was a warning that they could take 4-6 weeks to come (so in other words, renew early), but it only took 3 weeks. Bummer that I will only use it for about 4 months before needing to get a new one. Also, I was reminded anew about how much I hate my license photo.

The heat at work is fixed. I no longer need a space heater and gloves for my office to be tolerable.

I GOT $500!!!
I bought an original Pixel smartphone in July 2017. I rarely talk on the phone, and it’s only for stuff like making appointments or talking to medical professionals. That fall was when my blind spots started, and my phone would intermittently stop working while I was frantically on the phone with the eye specialist on call. I’d be in the middle of talking to someone, and they’d be like “hello? hello? Can you hear me?”. It even happened when I was talking to Google tech support. They replaced my phone under warranty while denying that it was a known issue. It also happened to my second phone, and they replaced it again. Thankfully the third one was okay.
At the end of last year, there was a lawsuit about this exact problem. Google still denies that the Pixel ever had a microphone problem (apparently it was a soldering issue) but there was a settlement, and people who had their phones replaced more than once were eligible for $500. I sent in the e-mails for the return authorizations, but they said my proof wasn’t sufficient. Then I found the return authorization attachments that showed the phone IMEI numbers. At the end of January, I got another e-mail saying that it wasn’t sufficient. I e-mailed them back saying I had no call logs proving that it was the microphone issue, but that was what I experienced they said that return authorizations are valid proof, and please tell me what’s missing. Someone from the lawyer’s office responded and said they re-reviewed my file and that it was now in good standing.
And then a couple of days ago, I received the check! I was so afraid that they’d find some way to deny my claim, but I got the money!!
