Good Things Friday (63)
May 1, 2020
If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?
Current total: Lakota, $659.86; Rural libraries, $321.62.
1. Frozen Indian food trays from Trader Joe’s are a lifesaver when it’s Friday afternoon and everyone’s brain is a bucket of slugs.
2. Secret Life of Pets 2 is on Netflix! I must have known that at some point but I forgot so was quite pleased to find it the other night.
Challenges this week: I was asked to take on an incredibly difficult task and it took quite a lot of soul-searching and checking in with potential support people to help me do a good job. I think I can do it but it’s going to be painful, nerve-wracking, and I’m going to feel bad about it no matter what happens. It does help to know that I can only control my own performance and nothing I do will be a key to changing the outcome.
This wasn’t a short week but it was mostly challenges.
Well, I got my stimulus check so I was able to throw a chunk of change at charity and a couple of local businesses. As an added bonus, turns out that the donation to the local shelter is actually going to get me a tax credit. So that was nice to find out.
And Mom’s still here keeping me sane. And we’re enjoying plenty of TV.
Those are my two good things.
Yay, I’m glad all that stimulus-check planning has been brought to fruition!
