Tiny Victories

I have no qualms admitting that on an early date with my wife, I lured her back to my apartment with the promise of bacon. Later, she married me. Bacon is magic.

I got my baby down for a nap on my first try this time. I didn’t even make it all the way through my multiplication tables in my head (today’s “don’t let your brain rot” activity of choice).

I used to play a game with myself while getting babies to sleep of just counting but switching between English and Spanish between each number. It’s surprisingly hard because although you know all the numbers, your brain wants to continue with what comes next instead of what comes next in another language. :smiley:

Do you remember the tense called “pluscuamperfecto?” That word still makes me laugh.

Haha yes. I mean,; I remember of it, ask me to conjugate anything and I’ll stare at you blankly at this point. being the mature students my program was, we would always say it in very dramatic voices. Much to our teachers ongoing annoyance.

At school drop off this morning an older elementary aged girl saw me come around the corner and said “I really like your outfit!”

I’m cool guys! I’m finally cool!

(Then Mr. Meer came around the corner behind me and she didn’t want to leave him out so she said “I like your outfit too!” So cute. lol)

I have just been informed its Thursday and not Wednesday. This information only matters to me because it influences when and if my friends are coming over for extra greasy takeout. I want the spinach and it swims in delicious oil. I want them to get meat stuffed paratha and maybe meaty biryani.

Someone I don’t know at work yesterday, coming up the stairs behind me, exclaimed, “You’re the Tights Lady!”

Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the historic outfit, but that day’s tights were green.

the shadowy one’s former employer is posting the amended t4 so that we can do taxes

apparently indicating to the head of HR that you want to sort it out without bringing in any other parties can work wonders within a day after waiting for a month for a resolution.

I bought a beautiful peacoat (J. Crew Majesty) on Poshmark for a steal and it’s so much better than I had expected! Such nice thick wool and in dark charcoal, which will look a little better with Boy Cat hair than the black coat that I’m retiring.
