I just discovered a personal finance/tech theater blog. A niche tailor made for me!
I ate 3x today!
And I sent a scary email asking for my needs to be met
I got to silver status on an airline frequent flyer membership so I can access the lounge for free when I go on my overseas holiday in a few months
I’ve knocked the most anxiety provoking thing off of my to do list!
One of my friends who really wants a baby is pregnant!!!
And I am very excited. I’m the best auntie ever, y’all.
I did enough of my to do list, that I can declare nap time
I haven’t moved my car in two days. I spent these past two days (my weekend) not interacting socially with anyone, and I did not leave the house except to ride my bike and swim. It has been SO amazing and calming. I felt like I just needed two days alone to myself to recoup (work is super stressful and people intensive in the summer) and after getting yelled at by a customer to the point of tears on my last day of work this week, I knew I needed a mini retreat to be alone. So happy I spent time recharging and did not agree to any last minute socializing or obligations.
I also made amazing New Mexican carne adovada, and now even if work sucks all week I get to eat amazing tacos for dinner every night.
Finally tried the local Malay restaurant. I am stuffed.
Cleaned all the floors in my apartment for my parents’ visit. Now they can criticize something else being not clean enough!
I have exercised every day since I got my diagnosis and have cheated on my diet very few times, and my body feels different. More capable. I still have stupid pain and exhaustion, but also I have stronger muscles and my clothes fit differently. I’m going from jabba the hutt to some less gelatinous version of jabba.
That’s not tiny! That’s a massive victory. That’s awesome!!
We’re gonna go pick up our dog!!! Haven’t seen her since last Thursday, since we were on vacation. Miss her so much.
I smell like campfire
Just picked up five sample jars of gray interior paint from Buy Nothing. I was considering painting my anteroom to the backyard gray. Even if I don’t like any of the colors, they are light enough that I can use it to even out the base layer (which is beige but painted over blue (which is visible in spots). Tony Victor!
I swam with Duckling for half an hour before his class (well, splashed in shallow wading pool) and Ponder did the half hour class with him. He fell asleep as soon as well got home, which was about 2.5 hours before he’s been having his naps recently. Worn out toddler: success!
Had too many plants and not enough pots so I listed basil and mint on buy nothing and people are taking all the ones I don’t want!
Freed up planter space for me to plant parsley, rosemary, and roses. Let’s hope these all grow as well as their former pot buddies did!
Ponder and I finished a big chunk of putting the study back together after we rearranged it last weekend.
Got in 90 minutes of walking yesterday.
Had an impromptu sleepover with friends from out of town who I don’t see a ton.
Made a casserole for friends who just had a baby.
Cleaned out my fridge so it no longer contains food poison roulette!
