Hey, I like to see my catastrophes coming
I got an email saying that 6 things in my grocery delivery (including a super expensive splurge of real maple syrup) were out of stock and I wouldn’t be charged for them.
They all showed up in my order anyway, AND I was not charged for them.
I introduced Greyman to a band that does a lot of covers, and through a series of fortunate events he is now singing Taylor Swift. It’s ADORABLE.
I saw lightning bugs tonight. I haven’t seen them in probably 20 years because I lived in the west for a long time. Catching them were a staple of my childhood. I was starting to think there was too much development around here and there wouldn’t be any. AND TONIGHT THEY ARE FLASHING.
After doing a lot of reading/researching I found 2 local organizations/non profits to volunteer with and applied for both. I have been wanting to do something to help others with my free time, since I now have a normal 40 hour a week job that leaves me with an excess of time on my hands. I’m so excited!
I am soooooo jealous. I literally have a tattoo of fireflies. They’re the most magical thing in the world and I haven’t seen any in a decade.
This is wonderful.
My IRA is almost back to pre-pandemic levels after the initial 22% loss.
Wonder if it’s time to look at ours.
I know it varies by what we have in there, but I would ~assume~ most have rebounded. I couldn’t keep myself from looking even at the worst. I have zero willpower.
Discovered there’s a DOE law that says HOA’s can’t prevent us from installing an EV charger in a parking spot we own. So that opens up a whole world of possibilities (and price points, and locations!) for our house search since we don’t have to have a private driveway or garage.
I “shopped” our kitchen and came up with four more meals we can make before we have to go to the store and Mr. Meer thought of a fifth. I think I’ve claimed this as a Tony Victor before but it’s a new skill so it feels like I found multiple meals of free food every time we do it.
Was lazy and did not get cider last night. However, I rememered this morning that one of my credit cards had turned their room credit $ into restaurant credit $ for the month of June, and since I’m not likely to be staying in any hotels in the foreseeable future I did curbside pickup of cider and then stopped by and picked up a family meal from the fancy Indian place in town that will feed me for a good week with no money out of pocket (restaurant credit can be used for tips too). Since I’ve got some credits left I’m debating if I can find restaurant food that’s acceptable for the rest of the month and move my usual grocery budget over to donations…was trying to figure out how to shift some things around and free up a little more cash there, and it seems like a reasonable possibility.
Cheese is delicious and I get to eat it now.
Looks great. What kind of cake?
Applesauce spice with caramel frosting. My tummy is happy.
Yum! I thought maybe it was spice cake.
I keep missing people’s birthdays because I so rarely know what day it is. Tonight I went through my calendar for the next two months and scheduled texts for my friends who level up, which my phone will automatically send at the correct time. Technology is fantastic.
Also my final dislocated rib slipped back into place and I can move normally again. That sucked but now it’s done.
I absolutely love “level up” and I’m stealing it.
