Good Things Friday (15)
May 24, 2019
1. Friday: The water bill came today and it was $10 less than it’s been the last three bills! Woot!
2. Saturday: May has mostly brought us rain, not much of a spring here right now with the grey and gloom and fog, but it also brought us berries in season. 2 lbs of strawberries for $4!
3. Sunday: New discovery – blister roasted peanuts. These are yummy. They do not at all replace cake in my life so I still have a desserts-shaped hole in my life but I do like the peanuts.
4. Monday: My GP confirmed by email that I have positive MMR titers so I don’t need to worry about updating that vaccine. I hate that we have to even think about this but there are outbreaks all along the coast.
7. Monday: No idea where it came from but JB came home and didn’t have attitude or whine all through dinner. We had a pleasant and short dinner where all the food was eaten and no one was irritated. I can’t remember the last time THAT happened!
8. Tuesday: I could look at laundry as an endless cycle that’s never finished. OR I could look at it as something I’m endlessly good at because I do it well every week. Even if the machine betrays me and forces me to do extra work to soak out stains from the machine.
9. Wednesday: Our local Costco, on a good day, usually takes about 22 minutes from drive up to drive out. They had about ten pumps. Today, I discovered they had built an entirely new station on the other side of the lot in the past six weeks with thirty-two pumps. There was zero wait. It was astonishing. (On the other hand it cost $50 to fill up and PiC and I have noticed that our MPG has been dropping dramatically in the past few months and we don’t know why. :sob:)
10. Thursday: FINALLY. It’s taken me all year to get my act together and find a possible swim class for JB. FINALLY. (In fairness, PiC put in a fair amount of time and research too but he found all the super expensive and rigid academy type places that I didn’t want to use either.)
Then we followed up on a decent suggestion from a friend and seem to maybe have found the right place there? We have registered and I hope they have great instructors because this option is the most affordable one we could find within 20 miles.
I checked my records and I had two measles shots. I think I might be just old enough to be fine, but I might check with my doctor the next time I’m there anyway.
Good thing: we should have a closing date by the end of next month! And I’ve been feeling so much light lately!
I think it’s good to check!
And yay for having a closing date coming up!
One of the Costcos we usually go to had a new station as well with more pumps. We haven’t tried out the line yet but it does look like the line is way less congested than at the previous location where it took about 30 minutes to pump gas. Hopefully it stays that way.
Hopefully that swim class will be great for JB and it sounds like it’s a good price for it.
I wonder if they’re refreshing stations everywhere, it’s really nice to not have to wait so long.
Hooray on the MMR! I really need to get mine checked.
May your titers be good!
What a coincidence! I just posted about the good things in (recent) life, too. Just be great minds in the same path. Our closest Costco isn’t likely to add more pumps: its lot is filled, and besides, rumor has it they’re going to close that store when the lease runs out. Our gas prices are lower than yours — I can fill up for $30 or $35, and that will last the better part of a month.
I sure do miss those lower gas prices!
