I forgot I requested that the library buy a book but they just let me know they bought it! The email was just so cheerful and made me feel good. (The book is The Zero-Waste Chef.)

I have asked three people to be references and two of them made me nervous to ask but the people have been entirely enthusiastic and supportive.

I have three TV’s today/this week so far:

  • I have paid off my new furnace (2k) and B’s last medical bill portion (~7k), which had all been on a 0% card and then balance transferred to another 0% card. All done, finally.

  • Before I did the above, I had a ~25 point credit score jump (so I assume it might go up again soon), which has recovered me to before I bought the house, etc. and now I’m doodling around 800 again.

  • I’ve found an appropriate side project to work on alongside my business that just might earn me a little extra moolah and allow me a stream of remote-work income for when it comes time to move (aka it will help me panic less about moving).

It was warm so we played outside for 4h! Maybe technically 2, because half was walking to and from the mask store

Ours is homemade of PVC pipe and clear painter’s plastic. A layer of paint on the PVC will keep the plastic from disintegrating along the contacts (some sort of interaction). Doesn’t matter what kind, so we used what we had lying around.

Took a brisk walk with the kids and it didn’t hurt nearly as much as it has past couple weeks.

Latte just took her first steps. And it was in order to get books about camping. I’m thrilled on many levels.
