When I was at the gas station today I bought $4 in scratch off tickets. I won my entire $4 back!

Tax docs are all off to the accountant. I didn’t need some documents I thought I did, so we no longer have to wait on them. One more thing off my list and hopefully soon a little chunk of change for our down payment fund!

I got Niece (5) a jigsaw puzzle with her and her brothers as the picture. I’m giddy with excitement for her to see it.

I have cramps, but it’s OK because I had medicine stashed in my work drawer!

I opened my Gatorade. I think it required more calories than my gym workout this morning. Victory over this lid is so, so sweet.

I made a donation that covers my minimum donation goal for 2020. It feels good!

Further victory: I read my body correctly and took myself home after medicine started to work and before my body overwhelmed their effect.

There is a lot of waiting - that part very much sucks.
But being in the first “vote”, I could go see every single candidate in person if I was interested and had time. It is up close and personal politicking, and everyone takes this responsibility very seriously. So that part is very cool.
This year they tried to develop an app to speed reporting (as compared to phoning in results), and they are having problems. They still have phones as the back up reporting system - and problems there too. Ugh - they screwed up. They should have the reporting system(s) down pat.

I really hate that about every workplace, school conference, etc. No one ever anticipates what the volume of users will do to the new platform or can effectively troubleshoot in real time.

Yes. They should have found a way to test the real system with real volume of users well ahead of the actual need. There is no excuse thar the phone system not to work, because that was quick and effective in previous years. Another argument to not let us be first in the future. Bleh.

my eyebrows were damp when I left the house this morning, so they froze solid the moment I stepped outside. The feeling of eyebrows instantly freezing is kind of hilarious

my toe is already partly healed.

sometimes when Daisy gets onto the couch she does it wrong and ends up facing the back of the couch. She just lives with her mistake, lying there looking at the back of the couch and sighing sadly.

my car’s starter has been unreliable for over a year. My car is in terrible shape and needs a ton of fixing, but I ignore that and keep driving it. The victory is that lately it’s been starting just fine. Maybe if you neglect a car for long enough it realizes the error of its ways and heals?

My coworker had some kind of rubber cement in her purse, so I have now fixed (pending the adhesive drying) my cute hair clip with the button on it, since the button fell off a while ago.

Oh Daisy. You haven’t told her that she can just turn around and face the front? Lol

A cis white man just commented on my body in an appropriate and not creepy way.
At a convenience store on a country road no less.
A positive interaction, yay
Him: Ma’am I’m so sorry to bother you but are you a competitive runner?
Me: Funny laugh, oh god absolutely not.
Him: Are you a lifter?
Me: Yes, but a little out of practice at the moment post-holidays.
Him: Ok I didn’t want to come off weird but you look so athletic and I’ve been trying to get back into lifting and I just really admire people who can stick to that, it takes a lot of discipline and sometimes I have a hard time with it.
Me: Yes that’s how I feel about running, but I think when you find the athletic endeavor that you enjoy it becomes less burdensome to keep up the routine.
Him: Yes that’s probably true, thank you for your time, have a good day.
THAT’S IT!!
He didn’t then start trying to shape the conversation into hitting on me, didn’t turn it into some kind of insult about my ”masculine” traits, he didn’t follow me to my car, he didn’t wink at me, etc etc etc.
People comment on my body often. Like too often.
I have big ass legs and big ass shoulders. But usually their comments make me feel very uncomfortable so I’m just overcome with how positive this interaction was Ha. Thx for letting me share.

It really is such a pleasure when you meet decent people, isn’t it? Hopefully that improved your day a little.

And someone else would have incorrectly questioned why she had rubber cement in her purse. We live in a world of emergencies!
