Good Things Friday (18)

Good Things Friday (1)

1. Friday: Some days you say “eat your veggies” until your words sound like a foreign language, some days your kid asks for a double helping of green beans. Take the win.

2. Saturday: HEAT WAVE. The weirdness of our home and the location though is that there are rooms in the house that stay cool through most of the day and our area is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than elsewhere. I hate this during the cold season because it’s always frigid but I revel in the just too warmness we’re experiencing right now.

3. Sunday: I got to line dry two load of clothes! Ours usually gets gross and moldy before it dries. I don’t like crunchy underwear (or towels) but I am happy we saved the cost of a load of drying clothes.

4. Monday: We have a first step to fixing some of the weight that’s been bearing me down at work and I cannot even describe the relief that it’s brought just having the start of a solution. It isn’t everything and not an overnight fix but it’s definitely a start and I’m really glad of it. I’m a much less angry person because of it which means depression hasn’t been creeping up on me, it was stress.

5. Tuesday: Had myself a fabulous mini panic when the IRS told us that we still owed them money – I paid y’all in full! It was less than $100 but that’s real money. After some frantic texting and emailing, our tax preparer discovered that they made a mistake and so they paid the missing tax and fees. Whew. Brow wiped.

6. Tuesday: I have to be mindful of the dogs’ paws and ability to tolerate the heat and we can’t leave food or anything out in the cards because they’ll melt or otherwise be in danger but I can’t deny that it’s really nice, because it’s a short period, to be (even too) warm in my own home. Ice in everyone’s water! A nice fan! No shivering! It’s not nearly so nice for most everyone else though.

7. Wednesday: A friend of wow, over 20 years now!, came to stay with us on their way to the city and it was so so lovely catching up with them. We haven’t seen them in a few years, I’m grateful they remembered we were on their way. (JB was a complete and utter bitter pill all day… which leads me to … )

8. Thursday: HUGE sigh of relief. We got a late start, I could not shake this headache, and my brain is moving at a crawl, but JB was pleasant to be around again and that makes such a big difference in the color of our day.

:: Tell me some of your good things!

    Add 1/3 to 1/2 parts vinegar to the rest water as a fabric softener to your wash and Vi-ola! soft line-dried towels again šŸ™‚ I mix mine in a downy ball and throw it in with the wash. It really works. You might smell a tiny bit of vinegar while it’s still wet, but it goes away once it’s dry. Miracle, and no weird chemicals to worry about.
