1. PSA: We tried olipop sodas this week and every flavor we tried was gross: root beer, grape, cream. I am VERY picky about my root beer, admittedly, but 4 different people agreed with me when I expressed my yuck.
I need to find someone who likes this brand so we can pass it along.
2. Victorious!! I figured out how to hack off the last few inches of hair in the back all by myself!
I hate feeling helpless and I hate needing help, so when my body quits on me and I have to suffer both extreme pain and the indignity of not doing my fair share because I’m a lumpy squishy potato, well. I need some small thing that I can be proud of. This week, it’s lopping off 3-5(?) inches of hair solo. I can’t really tell how much came off. All that matters is that I did it and a good chunk of length is now in the bin. Woo!

1. I’ve been working on shifting one of my multiple full time jobs to a team and the process will take time but it’s bearing fruit! I’m a little less tired and working fewer overtime hours.

I cleaned a fourth of my office and it’s SO SATISFYING.
A fourth sounds so little but that was a four hour task and cleared a good chunk! I’m focusing on that specific win and not on the rest of the office or the other rooms in the house where I did not effect this near miracle. YET. I have a day off coming to me next month, maybe I could get through the rest of the office then?
Also I started making a new pillow for Smol Acrobat because the second he saw mine, he asked IS THAT FOR ME? Clearly they would also enjoy a new Hello Kitty fabric pillow. This one’s oddly proportioned and I have to cannabilize another pillow to stuff it but it’ll work.
What brought you joy this week?

1. Not the first time I’ve forgotten to add a good thing here since I struggled to make it to the end of the week. But we made it! And the blog is still being a brat in the backend but I don’t quite understand the problem and it doesn’t seem to prevent my posting, so I’m going to let that be August me’s problem if I can.
