The power went out (without a puff of wind)--boo! My electric utility phone app told me how many households were affected and the approximate duration of the outage. They fixed it way short of the projected time--yay!

My year of using a cash-back reward credit card offered by my credit union last year just paid off - because I am diligent about NEVER carrying a credit card balance, I just got $103.77 deposited back into my savings account! I have to say, it was a big adjustment to get used to paying for things with plastic. I am such a cash person, but once I got over the fear that I would somehow overspend, I haven't looked back. The only thing I make a point of paying cash for is gas for the car because it is cheaper per gallon that way. The only exception is when I am out traveling, it's a credit card all the way, baby!
The first time in weeks and weeks that I actually had energy after I got off from the early shift at work! It also helps that it feels like spring here in southeastern lower Michigan :)
Downton Abbey final season has started!
My puppy has gone two whole days without an accident!!
Someone who owed me quite a lot of money I'd basically written off as gone just mailed me a big check, almost entirely paying me back after I'd told them not to worry, take care of yourself etc. I'm astonished, really pleased, and impressed and refreshed that this person kept their end of the bargain even though I know they've been through some struggles and could easily have "forgotten" about it permanently. Thank you so much, MH!
Sill loving my Vivoactive watch!
I attended a party celebrating four coworkers retirement. It was nice to reflect on how things have changed in my profession over the last five years since my retirement. I came away refreshed and really happy for them that they made it. We took a few seconds to remember those we knew and worked with who sacrificed their lives before making it to retirement. We left part of ourselves behind. Some left all of themselves. I am thankful for the gift of life.
A hand crank shredder, arrived yesterday off eBay, so far perfect exactly what I wanted.
A flurry of bluebirds exploring the nesting box! They make me giggle.
