I’m caught up enough on my to do list that I don’t have to panic!

Cashed out my HQ winnings ($3.86, watch out Ken Jennings) and deleted the app. I realized that it’s not actually fun, it’s annoying, and I don’t need that in my life. BYEEEE

Signed up for a free presentation thing for credit for my Master Gardeners cert, padding the hours just to be sure they don’t try to short me on the seed starting. Thought it was at a location that is 20 miles away that, during rush hour, takes about 45 minutes and makes me want to push a pencil through my eyeball. Just realized it is at a different location about 4 miles away that at most should take 15 minutes.

Holy fuck am I glad.

Got to leave work early (yay!) but for an obgyn appointment (boo!). TV is that new office and doc are very nice, disproving negative reviews, and my blood pressure is way better than last year in grad school (114/70 vs 130/80!)

Also I temptation bundled with japanese grocery food and finishing Hero of Ages.

My new adjustable weight bench arrived in one piece! I had planned to buy a different one, but it seemed too flimsy in real life. This one ended up being sturdier, cheaper, and free shipping.

Doggo woke me up last night again at 2am. BUT, I went to bed at 10, so I got 4 hours, and then got to sleep in for almost 6 more, so almost 10 hours total. Am feeling a little better. Less tired, anyway.

This is actually a fairly big victory: it sounds like Husband might actually be able to NOT travel after I’m 38 weeks pregnant. Such a relief. I’ve been having nightmares of going into labor while he’s in BFE Montana or Alaska or something. Which, you know, still might happen if I go early. But way less likely than post 38 weeks.

I might NOT have to travel 40 minutes for a medical procedure!

TBD but things are promising…

I forgot to buy mulch to go with the new plants I got yesterday. Today I got free mulch from someone in my neighborhood who had too much!

My rack is sturdy and symmetrical. You’re going to make me blush.

Seriously though, it’s the best investment I’ve made fitness wise. Fairly inexpensive, bomb proof, good spacing for the supports. Also, it’s orange.

Kid-4 just found the missing knife from my knife set in her glove compartment. She has no idea how it got there. I’m just glad to have it back. I’ve looked everywhere!

I made and consumed a really great avocado toast: mashed up avocado, feta, some oil from the feta, salt, pepper, Aleppo pepper, and sumac all on an English muffin. Now I’m in a better mood.

Actually used my adjustable desk in standing mode for 2 hours today.
