Tiny Victories

I didn’t, but I see your point. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Actually, here’s one. I texted it to everyone I know because it is delightful.
She fell asleep like this:

It’s my due date. For a long time, it wasn’t clear if I would ever actually be able to get pregnant. Pretty crazy to be here. So, that’s a victory I suppose! (Although I would like a baby on the outside soon, please and thanks)

Squirrels are amusingly fat at this time of year. Delightfully pudgy.

I slept for 4 continuous hours last night. 4!!! All together! And today is Thursday so I went back to bed and had a nap and have now had enough sleep.

I cried and my dogs climbed onto my face and made me laugh and scream for them to get off.

Then I got groceries with an emphasis on things that I enjoy that are easy and healthy. Screw price. (For me this means I bought yogurt instead of getting my shit together to make it)

Now I’m at the gym where my body is powering through the misery but my mind is much clearer.

I complain a lot but there are so many good things.

I’ve been packing to move, and while going through my closet I found a poster from a concert of a band I was obsessed with in my early 20s. I don’t even know why I bought it, because I’ve never hung it up and it’s still in the cardboard tube they give you with it. I put it on Ebay and it sold for $105!

I paid myself in poutine and hot chocolate and successfully went to work. And when I looked in the freezer after work to see if I had frozen banana to make a chocolate smoothie (no) I found ice cream instead! Tuesday and Wednesday I think I ate 2 meals over the two days (plus some nuts and chocolate and dried fruit). So I’m really really proud that today I ate
Leftover pizza
Poutine
Hot chocolate
And chocolate ice cream!

Tomorrow I will see if I can do more micronutrients. Or buy lots of juice

Appropriate use of takeaway is happening in this household! We are buying food instead of heating up our house. (Smarter would have been to have food already prepared, so now we know to plan for summer temperatures)

My house smells like delicious fresh apples.

Inspired by @Oro’s Apple saucing I found out our local farm place had a special on apples. Got a small cardboard box of them for $10. A giant pot of them are simmering for applesauce, some are going to become mini apple pies, and the rest might get baked.

After yesterday’s gaaah!!! Meltdown!!! Over my dining table problem, I went to the re- store and bought the leg off a pedestal table and an old timeh solid wood closet door. Problem solved, after some cutting and assembly and sanding and refinishing. And $70.
Cheap and cool looking and re-using old stuff. Who wins? I win.

I got my travel booked to go see Kid-3 in Portland and Kid-2 in Venice! :grin: Just have to figure out where to lay my head during a 15-hour overnight layover at Gatwick.

Remember… refinishing is a prize awarded to the first to get a splinter or complain about old finishing

Went through the closet, got rid of nine grocery bags full of clothes, dropped them off at the thrift store, all in the same day (today).
