Tiny Victories

I dropped my toast and instead of landing face down, it was saved on an angle by a piece of furniture! Hooray!

Because seeing a dog in uniform is always a victory. I still don’t know how to link… He has been a drug dog for 4 1/2 years which is 35 human years, so they took his picture. :heart:

That’s great :slight_smile:

One of the animal hospitals i worked at saw dogs from one of the local departments. They were so fun to work with. They had a breeding program but also rescued dogs that were unavoidable and used them to train the trainers. My favorite was one that was a stray picked on by other dogs in the neighborhood, that totally flourished in training but kept failing his tests because he loved chasing squirrels too much :laughing:

Food magically arrived on my doorstep.

More details: I got busy and completely missed sending my list to the group I’ve been trading grocery pickup/delivery with (three of us who live alone have been trading off weeks since covid got ugly), but I had pickup last weekend so didn’t want to go in myself, especially with a scratchy throat. Which is 99.99% almost certainly due to the ash raining down, but still, just in case. Tried out an instacart coupon a friend had sent me and things just…appeared. Fees and the lack of coupons mean there’s no way I’d do it regularly, but I do now have everything for chili sitting on my counter

Remembered to use a rebate thing- $7. Found where the store eggs are at my new store- I’ll be saving like $3/dozen for the same quality eggs.

I took a nap. A REAL nap, in bed. Not just passing out in my nursing chair.

Cracked 50 miles on the exercise bike today for the first time. Celebrated with mashed veggies, a delicious home-made smoothie, and now chocolate. Mmmmm :slight_smile:

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I NEED ONE URGENTLY

Everything except cleaning supplies (and the Biden flag in the window) is out of my apartment.

I live in Canada so my source isn’t useful to you. Google?

Yesterday I finally got the old printer (still working) and the broken coffee automat out of the house. Posting on eBay neighborhood both were picked up after 45 minutes :grin:

I’ve taken most of the weekend off (okay, a lot of it anyway) and I don’t even feel bad about it. Taking the rest of today.

Went for my first visit with a friend since lockdown. We got rained on during our walk, but my anxiety didn’t kick off, and later we had cake. Happy… :slight_smile:
