Tiny Victories

This reminds me I had a dream a few nights ago that @anomalily started flagging my posts on other people’s journals for being too much about myself and not sufficiently related to the OP. She kept reminding me with angry red mod notes in all caps :joy_cat:

I’ve been working my ass off these last two weeks and I’m very tired, but my husband made me bomb ass nachos and brought home Ben & Jerry’s. Tiny victories abound

My friend brought me several containers of leftovers from her fridge. Other people’s leftovers are delicious! She uses such massive chunks of tofu!

After weeks and weeks (maybe more than a month!) of no bread making, I finally managed to work with Clint Yeastwood today. I didn’t start in time to actually bake today, so the loaf will proof overnight in the fridge. Fresh sourdough tomorrow!

Yarn for Christmas presents turned up today and I started making them straight away! Now I just need to choose a nice soap and preserves at the farmers market to go with them.

And yesterday we got MORE SNOW we are so lucky so pretty snow (also, once we’re past September rain is complete misery and snow is all joy!)

I got a new purse! I am the anti-girl stereotype and only buy purses and shoes when I am required to do so because the current one is breaking. My new purse feels smaller than my last one and it much better at holding books. Really it’s billed as being able to easily hold 10" devices, who knew that was code for being able to hold books? Not me!

It also means I’m graduating a bit from the Mom Purse Of Holding. Now I’m just going to hold my crap and not all my family’s crap.

I didn’t back down on my consulting price. I know mentally that if they don’t rage vomit when you quote a number, you went too low, but it’s hard to watch people take that gut punch and not feel weird. I helps that I don’t really want the extra work, but if I get it, it’ll be worth it.

There’s a new ramen place close to work and it’s really authentic and super tasty, and you can get gf noodles for $1.50 more! And they are chewy, good noodles!!

My two worn out (well, ok, cat clawed) armchairs just rolled away in my dad’s truck, and the big new cat tree that’s going to replace them is being delivered tomorrow! Right now my living room feels huge and empty.

I remembered that the SO and I are a team and he could help me clean the house before my mom showed up! So he did - he washed the floors while I had to leave the house for work today. :slight_smile:

I delegated something! It’s something I have zero expertise in and my co-worker is great at. But I always feel weird asking people to do something for me if I don’t have a manager title.

I’m also really looking forward to working more closely with this person, they’re really sharp and I think we’ll learn a lot from each other.
