This is not the tiniest victory, this is an excellent victory.

I made biscuits that weren’t hockey pucks!
Usually DH makes the biscuits because I overwork mine. I found a recipe that said “if they’re pretty, you’ve worked them too much!” and used less butter than the last one I’d used too. Sooo, I tried that and it worked!

Twice today I did not volunteer or even hint at something that might get me volunteered into something I did not want to do. The amount of help I have to offer right now is lower than my initial urge/nosiness on various things.
Another TV: earlier this week I tried cooking a cut of meat I don’t usually deal with because it was on a good sale. It turned out delicious and there is a ton leftover for at least two other meals we have planned for the week (sandwiches and in a salad).

Weeks and weeks of truly atrocious baby sleep. Covid booster yesterday for her got me nearly 9 uninterrupted hours of sleep 
Now to remember that one good night of sleep does not magically solve all the problems in my life, and to give myself grace that I’m not suddenly perfectly well rested, patient, focused, etc

I was cleaning my desk and found the info sheet for J2’s grad trip this spring.
Which lead me to realize that the next installment was due today, and pay it.

We went to the local church thrift shop, open only on Sat. mornings. I got 2 long sleeved tops and a high top pair of socks. BEFORE I brought them inside, I made a deal with DH that I would cull 3 tops and 2 pairs of pants BEFORE I got these inside to wash. I have 2 pairs of socks next to me as I type this and 2 shirts downstairs prepped to go to the SA bin at the dump the next time. Still need to find 1 more shirt, but… !
I guess I’m over needing the mess to feel safe maybe?

I have never had oat milk until this week, when I had it in an espresso at the gym. What heavenly magic is this??? I bought a carton today and have some in my tea as I read the net. I am bougie now.

You don’t expect it to be smooth and sweet, right? When I think of oats, I think oatmeal!

I went to Starbucks for a free Super Bowl Monday coffee, and they also gave me two free cake pops. They happened to be my favorite ones (that I never get anymore since they’re like $4 now).

I’ve been hearing an owl right outside our house a ton lately, and I absolutely love it.
Right now I’ve heard it literally 4 times in the past minute.

I used up four containers of leftovers in the fridge today, making a batch of oatmeal muffins: Lactose free milk, whey, spaghetti squash and orange icing.
