I remembered to plug up the block heater on my truck before it got dark tonight, so it’ll crank.
I deep cleaned the oven! The past owner didn’t clean it before we moved in almost two years ago - and probably hadn’t for years - and then plastic was melted in it mumble mumble ago. So we just have been pretending we don’t have an oven for about six weeks.
I did four rounds, with lots of breaks to let products sit: baking soda paste, oven cleaner, vinegar + steam, and one more oven cleaner round. Apparently the inside of the oven is blueish grey, not dark brown. Who knew, not me.
We’re making good progress on the list of gross things to deep clean that the past owner left for us.
I had a great day! I got to run errands and go to my favorite produce store and get some other things I needed. I started the fight against bugs on my plants so I feel proactive. I did my volunteer thing, which turned out really well! Even better than expected. Oh and I bought a bunch of organizers for my bathroom cabinets.
I have eaten a salad
I shared my last Hawaiian black salt chocolate caramel and it was better shared than alone.
I put in dry shampoo
I showered
I had a laid back day and ate yummy leftovers
I reorganized my bathroom! There still isn’t a place for every little thing but it’s much better than it was.
I filed ALL. The baby’s nails. Will they somehow be sharp again tomorrow? Yes. Let’s not talk about that.
Victory. I have made it through the day ![]()
TV: Home again
TC (not mine): The poor kid next to me on the flight was on his fourth flight and 30-something-th hour of travel after getting bounced around between airlines (and the airport we were flying out of is not one people typically travel through so there had to be a lot of redirecting going on), and we landed just in time for him to see his last flight getting cancelled. Left him at the airline help counter where they were passing out hotel vouchers, but hopefully he’ll make it out tomorrow.
215 pound deadlift today. fueled by rage
tomorrow i turn 50!
You’re amazing!!
Whoa!!!
Happy birthday! Enjoy the glory of your massive deadlift and all of the round foods - best party idea ever!
I figured out that I can stream Apple Music on my smart TV. This is probably not a revelation to anyone else, but I am extremely low tech haha, so it was a very exciting discovery for me!
You go glen coco!
Hmm I wonder if our Sony big screen can stream music? It plays YouTube videos, so it must be able to…hmmm. (from another low tech person struggling with technology).
My tiny victory is actually big. I think I’ve finally turned the corner on this Covid thing. Best I’ve felt in five days!
Finally sat down and did J1’s Asd funding paperwork.
Going to be reimbursed about $3500 of respite fees.
You’d think the money would be motivating to get it done.
DH trialed his pizza steel tonight (upgrade from a stone). Soooo good.
I had a really magical NYE! Two potentially life shifting things may come out of it, which were totally unexpected. And then I came home and my favorite teacher posted a great talk and meditation for the new year and I did the meditation and it was so wonderful and just the perfect way to start the year.
Also my food was a hit! ![]()
