Good and Meh 2023: Week 48

Good Things:

Thursday: New York City with Mom! It was a fantastic day, capped off with the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular!
Friday: John’s birthday dinner at Iron Hill Brewery, where I also collected my quarterly beer box.
Saturday: Quick trip to the library to drop off some books. There was a ‘gently used accessories’ sale going on. While perusing the scarves, I saw a small white handkerchief with embroidered flowers on it. And then I started to cry because somebody (likely a woman) years ago spent a lot of time on this and there it was, buried among a heap of discarded scarves. Anyway, I have a small floral hankie now. Its creator’s handiwork will be honored and remembered. Hats off to WM for not being embarrassed by me as I sniffled my way through the library.

I’m going to handwash and iron it, and then tuck it in my desk drawer.
Meh Things:

Monday-Friday: I am suffering from impostor syndrome.
Friday: Another trip to the credit union to ask about my missing debit card. I think the problem is solved now – I didn’t have a ‘member profile’ even though I’ve had a joint account there with WM for year. No member profile means no address. No address means that every card I requested was generated but never mailed. They’re allegedly rushing me a new debit card. Maybe I can finally move this to the Good Things side of the blog post next week.

The Verdict:

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! :)
