Tiny Victories

My hastily concocted buttered stewed tomato and mozzarella salad got through airport security with no questions asked so i didn’t have to throw out that at least.

(Tc - very good yogurt was left at hotel because i overpurchased)

It’s amazing how “random selection” works, isn’t it. :upside_down_face:
(sorry :heart: This is partner’s lot in life as well, in her case because she is almost always traveling with lots and lots of weird looking computer stuff. She gets “randomly selected” almost every single time.)

Yep, travel with enough dissected computer hardware and they get suspicious. Even with global entry stuff I usually get to pause while they open up my carry on.

Or try medical equipment, like portable light books or blood pressure monitors. Guaranteed they stop you to check your bag.

Huge medical victories to start the new year! Scheduled a mole removal appt that I’d been putting off, I thought to ask for Xanax for the day-of and they gave it to me, AND I successfully sat up for a blood draw that I usually lie down for. Go Bern go!

My husband and I briefly chatted about what I would have for a quick lunch while he started to put away groceries. I went upstairs to put on my slippers and bring down some recycling, and when I got back he had opened everything for my lunch and gotten it all set up on the table for me :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I just discovered the local No Frills will price match the Metro grocery store flyer. The shadowy one prefers to just walk to the relevant stores rather than ask for price matches, but Metro is out of the way sometimes, and our other local price-matching grocery store doesn’t consider them a competitor.

My new power rack came in 10 boxes! I broke down the really long boxes for recycling but filled the other ones with neatly rolled bubble wrap and pieces of foam. Someone picked it all up today, plus a tall box I had forgotten in the corner filled with more foam pieces and plastic. Yay for reuse!!

I feel like half my TV’s are “someone came and took my unwanted stuff” :laughing:

I got the most beautiful thank you note from someone for something that was so simple and easy for me to do, but incredibly meaningful to them. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: And I have fun plans today!!!

My screen time is down almost 50% since getting puppers! I am honestly so tired after he goes to bed that even though I can have screen time, I end up just staring into the ether until I go to bed :joy:
