Tiny Victories

SirB is having to order TONS of tools and tech for work. All of it’s getting reimbursed, but because of prime day, we’ll get 6% cash back on everything that’s from amazon (most of it). :+1:

First thing this morning I got a nice long fare down to San Diego, where the weather is perfect.

Did you go to the beach before your next fare??

Well, no. Actually I got a piece of metal in my tire and am hanging out at a repair shop. But with temps this week at home being 105ish, I’m not really feeling like hurrying the tire guys and heading back!

Can you work in San Diego once the tire is fixed / replaced?? That might be okay.

Yep. I can stay down here as long as I want, or work my way home.

Got a wheelbarrow with a flat tire through Buy Nothing. Disassembled the wheel and it’s just like a tiny bike tube, so I was able to fix it right quick!

Two victories here. First, I discovered that not only do they make fudge covered Oreos with mint cream, I also discovered the brand new dark chocolate Oreos. Second victory: I only bought one box of cookies home.

This is not super victorious, but… I’m twisting it to a win anyhow:
I thought I had an off-site commitment at work today so I drove .Turns out I didn’t, but now I can buy ice cream on my way home without it melting.
XD

Ice cream is always a win.

My batch of chili used up some food remnants and helped clear space in the freezer and fridge.

My meatloaf and chili are both “clean out the fridge” events with very flexible “recipes”

After walking to the store earlier and having the heat really wipe me out, I wasn’t sure I’d be up for yoga (and walking to yoga) tonight. But my miracle AC’d apartment worked it’s magic, and I went, and I’m grateful I did. We worked on exactly what I needed help with! And the walk home at sunset was beautiful. (Final count, 99 active minutes and 6.79 miles walked. Thanks fitbit!)

Found out that a BFF’s girlfriend has been stalking me on FB and loved the OMD book etc that I’ve been posting on there. We’re totally long distance buddies now.

Triple victory today: H and I both took our Klean Kanteens to Wegman’s when we went for a grocery/coffee date. H has the morning off and we had a nice evening and morning together before he is away for the weekend. My BFF is on her way over to hang out.

All the victories!

Doing well on using up food bits this week. This is good, because I desperately need to defrost the mini fridge. D:

Found some 13 day old roasted turkey in the back of the fridge. Smelled fine, so doused in mustard and ate it. No dire consequences yet. But hooray for not wasting food!

You know, I think 13 days is beyond my limit, and I’m pretty willing to go to great lengths not to waste food because I didn’t always have enough as a child.

It’s hard, I know. This is why I have a deep freezer. Do be careful with yourself.

I made a medical appointment! I’ve only been putting this off for … seven months.

I remembered to buy toilet paper.
