I got a good review from the dentist and my teeth are squeaky clean!

I have successfully rickrolled my sister with Instagram reels like four times in the last 2 months. She’s so mad at me :sweat_smile:

I was told at the dentist that my home care is “perfection” and there’s “literally nothing you could be doing better than you are”. :star::1st_place_medal:

This is exactly what I was thinking.

My brain is entirely momming and memes these days.

Co-signed. The hygienist and I just talked about our kids the whole time. That is also what we did last time.

Turned a “dammit” into a win. Latte’s bday will be at a park. Park closed the bathrooms early this year. WOMPWOMP. Brain wave! I’m going to grab a bunch of gift cards to a nearby shop that sells coffee, and have them on hand if anyone needs to use the bathroom. Problem solved, still way cheaper then renting an event space, and I get to both directly support and introduce a bunch of people to a small local business that’s really easy to miss. If I have any leftover, I’ll give them away on Buy Nothing to do more of the same.

I dropped my phone in the bath.
The victory is that it’s 2025, not 2010. My phone is giving me warnings not to use the USB port until it dries but is otherwise normal.

We had 4 lunch guests so 8 total and I was able to issue everyone a charming, colorfully mismatched cloth napkin mostly made from fabric scraps. I got a compliment on them.

LOL, sorry to do 2 in a row but I am pleased with myself. I found the exact snow boots that BB wanted* and the exact running shoes I like reasonably priced on Poshmark. I am too lazy to go try on shoes so I found a worn-once used version of the discontinued ones I first bought 3 years ago (I did have another pair in between - I run very little but even I am not so cheap and cavalier with my feet as to wear the same pair for 3 years).

*He requested size ELEVEN. He does like to wear his shoes big, but still! Well, his father wears a 13.

We bought new snow boots for W today and the fitter said they size up a full size at least so that they can wear heavy socks and also won’t grow out of them by March.

I almost always replace my running shoes with barely-worn ones from Poshmark! It’s such a great hack
