Tiny Victories

I did my rebate check at Costco. I got everything on my list. I found an allergen free treat on sale. I did NOT go start shit with a grumpy old man who was being really aggressive and rude to everyone around him, in spite of my deep desire to. All around wins!

There was a bag of caramel popcorn up for grabs in the break room.

I am now eating caramel popcorn.

I love caramel corn. It is really easy to make - but then even easier to eat way too much of it!

You are strong, B_J.


I jettisoned an unreasonable expectation that I had for myself!

My tiny victory might have turned itself into a tiny complaint. I do not have the self control necessary to have a bag of caramel popcorn in my possession.

Very nice fiduciary retirement lady paid for by my work told me that we can retire when I hit the age for retiree health care regardless of whether I take this promotion and regardless of whether husband ever gets another job. Plus she thinks we need way more money a year than we actually need… And she still says we can retire.

I bought a cheap curry puff from a cafe at Uni and now my mouth is burning with the deliciousness of cheap student food.

I made a half batch of chocolate chip cookies. I can now eat aforementioned cookies to feel better about how garbage our world is. :cookie:

I passed my break-even point for February today. That means I have 3 1/2 days left to work, and that will give me a chance to meet my $20 2020 challenge goal this month, plus add to my travel fund and pay down some debt. Woot!

someone at work complimented my pink knit sweater and said it looked good tucked in - and I am very self conscious about tucking in my tops still.

A person on my team complimented my outfit today and said this shade of green looks good on me. She was also wearing green.

I told her about having planned this week’s outfits in advance.

I’m bad about labeling my freezer meals and pretty much everything is a chili or a curry. So, all varying shades of orange/red/brown and hard to tell sometimes what’s in there.

Thought I packed a container of the just-OK chili in my lunch. Nope, it’s the delicious vegan paneer masala! YUM

I saw the foot doctor and my toe is much healed. He showed me the x ray from today and the one from last week. Last week there was a very clear y-shaped break at the head of one of my toe bones, and a diagonal break on another. Today they are shadows of breaks. My foot is healing, y’all!
