Good Things Friday (4)
March 8, 2019
1. Friday: Costco figured out that they stiffed us $70 in our tire rebate so they gave us a refund on our credit card instead. I’d rather have the cash rebate but this is fine too thank you.
2. Friday: I’d gotten too little sleep last night and fully expected today to be incredibly tough, which it was, but I also unexpectedly cleared one of my four to do lists for work. Yay!
3. Saturday: Frozen pizza and nuggets for dinner, woot!
4. Saturday: We went into the city for the 100,000 tulips in Union Square thing. We got there not long after it opened and it was already too late for us, so we looked at it from afar instead and enjoyed some play time at the mall nearby. Even if we didn’t come away with beautiful blooms, we got out of the house to do a thing and that’s cool.
5. Sunday: We went across the bridge to visit a friend with their new baby, JB and I on our first “long distance” venture without PiC and I’ve got to say it felt like I was making a big mistake when we hit the freeway because my fatigue walloped me a good one. I sincerely worried about having the energy for a visit and the return drive. It was touch and go but we made it there and back safely and we had a fun visit to boot! I’m so glad we made it. JB loved kissing on the baby and we were able to give PiC morning off to get a good long cardio session in. He used to, and still does, take JB out on Dad-kiddo adventures so I could rest, I was pleased to return the favor.
6. Sunday: I did all the laundry, PiC did the grocery shopping, everyone was decently fed, and we did some fun things. Feels like a huge win for the weekend.
7. Monday: PiC and JB went on an unplanned expedition to get me low carb snacks because I’ve been frustrated with feeling hungry between inadequate meals. Snacks!
8. Tuesday: Some days, it’s just a win if you survived. This was one of them.
9. Wednesday: RECORD time at Costco Gas – 8 minutes in and out!
My favorite story of the month. (Not just because this is something I would do)
10. Thursday: TWO good things happened at work and it’s been a while since as many as that happened in one day.
11. PiC is the best.
Wishes:
- May the prices on my long watched-for backpack, water flosser, and alarm clock drop by at least 30%.
- May PiC’s job search turn up the role that he’s looking for without a cut in salary.
- May both parts of that Huge Thing I’m working on at work turn out well. Part 1 seems promising, and Part 2 is still very much in question.
Please chime in with good things from your week and what you want!
+1 that was definitely the best story of the week LOL
I’m going to be laughing about that one every time I meet a new neighbor.
My week didn’t have any special highlights, but this week did go by quickly, so that’s a good thing. Better thing: My mom will be in town soon (it’s so I can get eye surgery but still…) And I have a party I can go to tomorrow if I so choose, which is always a good thing. I need to socialize more.
Yay for Mom in town!
I call Saturday night dinners like the one you had “Fakeaways”.
Fake takeaway?
My good thing – I had a nice visit from a friend, who brought delicious cake and some lunch in addition to good company. 🙂
That, and work is going much better now that I’ve sort of accepted the reality that I am indeed back at work. I think there just was this mental hump to get over, and I’m over it now!
😀
So glad you’re past that mental hump, I hope that good projects come up for you soon, too!
