Tiny Victories

Figured out what sounded acceptable to eat :raised_hands:t2:

I ordered food and put my feet up after getting baby into her cot. I still have pangs of guilt over this food order but that should go once I am eating it.

Several years ago I bought a jacket with epaulettes that don’t stay tucked under the loop of fabric (I assume this is why they generally have a button!). And for several years I’ve been saying ‘I just just do a few stitches to tack that down’.

Reader, I just did a few stitches and tacked it down.

Our cc got hacked. We cancelled it. No big. Okay. I had two subscriptions on it: Disney, which I’d tried to cancel 3 months before and just let die and my word processor, which as a writer I can’t afford to let lapse, much less die.

So, I went to fix that today. After a bit, got to the subscription page. If I reup for a year in advance, it saves us $1.50/month. Not a huge amount, but it’s $. GREAT! So, I change the subscription… Go to the payment page. No way to add a 2nd cc that I see, so I try and delete the other one to replace it. Can’t. There’s an active subscription attached. Delete the subscription. Log out. Start over.

It won’t let me add the 2nd card. (At one point in this ridiculousness, I tried to log out. It wouldn’t let me unless I logged in??? :exploding_head: )

So, after logging out/logging in, deleting the old card, adding the new card that is finally done. Then I can’t get to the subscription page to change the subscription and it won’t find it because now I’m in Itunes and there’s nothing like word processing, only music and other media. So I try to log out and get the you have to be logged in first, again…

Soooo, I do control Q to quit, and log back in, for the 4th or 5th time??? Go to the subscription page and lo and behold it’s showing the word processor will renew for a year next month. I go to the payment page and it shows the corrected cc.

And I only screamed once… well, twice, once by myself and again at DH. If it wasn’t such a total PITA to edit, I’d go back to paper and my typewriter!!!

Ahem. I did it. I didn’t let my frustrated, overwhelmed self lean on the PTSD enough that I became brain dead, or not long enough to stop me anyway.

So that’s my victory today!
:wink:

Book I’ve been waiting for just arrived from Australia. Shipper was apparently very determined to use up stamps (on the other hand they’re much cuter stamps than anything that I have):

I finally sorted, organized and tossed 8 months of papers/mail crap that has been accumulating since I bought my house. Also went through the 3 months of mail that accumulated while I was gone for the Summer, and cleared out my file folders and tossed a ton of irrelevant stuff that is years old. I also changed notification settings for all of my accounts, so hopefully I can stop getting so much unnecessary mail. Piles of paper are literally my least favorite thing about being an adult.

Finally was able to accomplish something I’ve been trying to implement for a while: at work when home todos came into my mind I wrote down a list and when I got home I actually did them all!

I washed and chopped two giant heads of romaine, before they rotted in my produce drawer

Neighborhood Friend texted me that her young toddler had ingested a “white berry”. Victories include- he’ll be fine. I correctly guessed the ID (to myself) even before seeing a picture of the plant just because I know everything in our neighborhood so well. I got her the link to the FB group so she could get an ID from botanists and the number for poison control, and the poison control people told her I had “given her perfect advice”. So, wins all around on this and I’m feeling very useful. And was very glad I checked my phone immediately. And very glad Friend thought of me for help when she wasn’t sure what to do.

Successful blood draw! I had a bad experience at this same parent company but different location about six months ago, so I was a little anxious going in, but this one was totally fine. I even got to walk by a little creek on my way to the lab. Putting it in my good medical experience bank :white_check_mark::champagne::partying_face:

Also, I had the Lyft driver pick me up at the ER afterwards because it would be the easiest location to find, and I’m having him drop me off at Ulta. I hope I seem mysterious :sunglasses:

If you can remember the name of the person who did your blood draw, you can try to schedule with them again. It’s always great when you get that person who does well on blood draws

I ran a race last weekend that draws a lot of people. It’s in a downtown area and one of the churches always opens their doors to let runners use their bathrooms and has volunteers there at like 5 in the morning on a Saturday. I obviously say thank you in the moment, but I always think that I should send them a letter or email letting them know how much I appreciate it and I finally remembered to do so this year.
