Tiny Victories

Victory Update: Current client also accepted his new proposal with zero negotiations on my rate. I quoted him 4x what he currently pays. AHHHHHHHH! I can put money in my vanguard again and get back to saving our down payment! I am wiggling with excitement

Totally valid. We got the annual passes because it was cheaper to do the annual pass than 2 days of park to park tickets as florida residents. And now we get free parking and a bunch of extra fun stuff.

Scored 5 months of free flea/tick preventative for Woody from a donation to work.

Also was able to find someone else to take my spot in a group Air BnB I was going to stay in for a race, and they Venmo’d me very quickly. (I’m now staying with my mom, boyfriend, doggo in a place my parents are paying for).

Have scored a pair of Chacos for Wizard off Buy Nothing – minimal use and they’re the right size for him, I just have to coordinate pickup.

Talking with the teller at the bank today and we have figured out the maximally best way for me to send rent to my (occasionally incompetent) landlord.

I felt like garbage and could hardly walk. Then I remembered that I hadn’t eaten all day and chowed down.
Now I feel better and happier and not dead.

Not only did my boss’s boss like my idea for a remote worker newsletter, but they took it and ran with it within 24 hours and appointed me the first staff committee member for a time period of 3-6 months!

Other noteworthy accomplishments:

  • My direct actions caused policy changes that allow clients to maintain dignity.
  • My old suppervisor reached out to ask about potential changes to key processes and how they would impact our LGBTQ clients.
  • Was told today that my interactions in all-staff meetings in my last agency were directly responsible for the start of a career pathway and mentorship program.

I gotta start keeping track of this stuff, this is the resume gold people keep talking about that I never think I have.

This was at the food court. I’ve only had them at expensive burger restaurant before. It tasted like fast food! And not like leftovers or protein shake or rice cakes

I successfully washed Boy Cat’s paws under a tap after he snuck out and walked on dirt. His tufted paws won’t get clean from just wiping! He was not happy but I did not get injured in the process.

I went shopping today and bought two swimsuits for my upcoming Hawaiian vacation. They are not the kind of suits that attempt to hide my post-pregnancy, post-Cushing’s-disease, almost 50-year-old body. I am who I am.

One of my favourite artists is auctioning off prints to raise money for the legal defense funds for Canada’s indigenous water protectors. I won two!

Either they both go in the same part of the house or I give one to my good friend who is Cree. I’ll decide later.
