Good and Meh 2023 Wk 47

Good Things:

Tuesday: Our HVAC guy, who I’ve known my entire life, came by for our scheduled furnace check/tuneup/cleaning. I always feel very accomplished when I schedule a service and thankful I had money to do it. When you don’t have a lot of money, you can’t afford regular service/maintenance tasks and your large items break down faster. Never forget your lean days.

Wednesday: HALF DAYYYYYY.

Thursday: Thanksgiving, lovingly hosted by J&K. It was full of food and warmth, and no drama.

Friday: Black Friday! Went out for a bit with Mom, slothed the rest of the day.

Saturday: Lunchtime date with WM at Iron Hill Brewery, which is where the below photo was taken.

I’m easily amused.
Meh Things:

Sunday: Dropped a green marker on my cream colored shirt. Tried to remove the marker stain with alcohol. And then I put Tide on the stain and left it overnight. The Tide stripped the color from the shirt but left the stain. (It wasn’t the alcohol, because I dropped Tide on the shirt sleeve, and the color was stripped from there as well.)

Saturday: STILL NO DEBIT CARD. My big go-out-and-shop day is over, so I’m giving it one more week before I melt down.

Verdict: Two and a half days of work and the beginning of the holiday season? Definitely a GOOD week!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
