Tiny Victories

I ate new foods. This is a pretty big victory for me.

Is it only me or are other people forgetting to close the fridge door?

We defrosted the mini fridge since I had left it open. The freeze compartment was glommed up by a huge block of ice.

Now it’s clear, plugged in, and humming happily away.

My fridge is full of far more food than I can reasonably eat. Also, we made chicken korma.

Just told my department chair I’ve decided not to apply for the CDO position, and she confessed to being relieved. Also provost told me he understood, but please let him know if I change my mind. So feeling valued up in here.

I’m loving watching videos of last week’s white supremacist terrorists finding out they’re on no fly lists.
More public shaming of abhorrent people, please.

What are the keywords? I tried during nap time and couldn’t

Here is a short roundup.

I am unwell and yet
Placed an ikea order
Placed a grocery order
Finalized my decision and completed my secret Santa
Am still alive

Please continue this forever. Kthxbye.

Today is 01/11/21 - this pattern pleases me.

And you can have this again with the rest of the world on Nov 1 2021

Yes! Excellent point. But I guess you never get Pi Day

I worked with international folks, on my communications with them I would use their date conventions (sometimes spelling out the month so they knew I was doing it on purpose).

My company has updated to using 12Jan2021 standards, so I never get these fun things anymore

It’s much easier to keep track of when our media and reagents expire, though, so that’s a plus.

I started writing my checks like this because otherwise I dither about which is the US and which is the international date.

I had the urge to paint my nails for the first time in a million years today, and the only nail varnish I own that wasn’t totally gummed up matched my jumper perfectly!

Marcela · January 12, 2021, 7:06pm

Pretty!

Oro · January 12, 2021, 8:02pm

OO!! your nails are so lovely :3

I was dreading calling my gyno to reschedule my annual because I don’t think things are going to be any better covid-wise in a couple weeks and I don’t want to go into a building. I did not want to have the “medical care is important, don’t delay it” conversation and explain that being indoors scares me and that I know people who only went to the doctor and nowhere else and got covid.

Doctor’s office called ME today saying doc is out of office that day so I need to reschedule. Was able to put it off until late April. Because that’s how far out they are booking. Zero issue and zero attitude when I said, “yeah, I’d like to back that out some, until hopefully more people are vaxxed and cases are thus lower.” WHEW. Big load off my mind.

I measured a kitchen today and spent part of the time holding a Yorkie who just wanted me to love her. She wasn’t happy to be put back down. There was also a Pittie who wanted to give many kisses.
