Re: 3 Positive Things Part 5
BONUS: Found a local vegan meal prep/catering service that is relatively cheap. $50 for 3 days of meals, including breakfast like lentil pancakes
I can't buy groceries that cheap sometimes.

- Going out with the team for lunch today.
- Had a chat with my brother last night and brought up the topic I was meant to bring up. We also had enough material to talk for an hour which was good considering I thought there was a risk of it being an awkward 15mins.
- Not tired today despite getting to bed later as a result of the call.
1. Local fire department will be serving ice cream (while discussing public safety information).
2. Had an amazing veggie burrito yesterday. Now they are putting finely diced cucumbers inside, and I love it!
3. One of the best places for Mexican food is the closest and cheapest. Free salsa and chips bar!

1.) My ankle is much better, so I’m not so grumpy and sarcastic - And I hope I didn’t upset anyone with my bad attitude last time I posted in this thread.
2.) Watched the final episode of Season 3 of “Stranger Things,” and it was a tear-jerker... But... There’s a Season 4!!!!!! Thank God, because... Well because. And I don’t want to do any spoilers for anyone because the show is GREAT!
3.) Cleared the air with my buddy Gwen. She’s had a rough year or more. She went to see her psychologist and found out she was depressed and anxious, and she was surprised, but sometimes it sneaks up on you slowly. I knew something was off. She’s a bit like me: trying to help everyone else before looking after herself. Anyway, a LOT was going on at work, in her family, and financially, so she was hermitting like me! We went on some errands together and had a great visit! [emoji38][emoji2] I’m so happy for her that she is training for the Health Line so, if she loses even more hours than she already has, she might just be able to quit the floor and just pick up hours as an 811 RN. It’s just so weirdly coincidental that she and I were both having ideation and were so down. It’s like we’re psychic twins or something, but leading separate lives that nearly line up with the amount of stress and hell we’ve gone through. Life is funny that way, I guess!

Dug up my first patch of potatoes i planted. My lst attempt so small batch about 20 red potatoes i got medium size to small the way i like them.
Planted a new crop of white potatoes this time just a few minutes ago. Just 5 of them in the big steel bath tub they should be ready by October.
Onions are still not ready to harvest yet. i am trying to grow them as well just planted three of them. Just something for me to look forward to i guess.

1. Lentil pancakes were surprisingly good. Getting sweet potato brownies soon.
2. Rained again so I didn't have to water the plants.
3. Chihuahua no longer has upset stomach. Fixed with probiotics and low-fat dog food from vet. (Insurance pays 90% for non-routine exams, and he is the only pet we have with full pet insurance since he is the youngest and looks for trouble.)

Dang trouble-making Chihuahuas.
They all need to pull up their dang pants and stop hanging around malls annoying people.

- I've been doing some positive self talk the last couple of days.
- I've sometimes actually been believing some of it or at least acknowledging that it could be true sometimes.
- I've noticed that it's not a one way trip back to the critical thoughts. I've already bounced back a couple of times after the negative thoughts were starting to try to persuade me that the positive things are false.
1. Husband returns in a few days.
2. Enjoyed my free 1-week trial to HBO Streaming. Watched the entire 5-part Chernobyl docudrama, which was amazing (and shocking).
3. Husband got 40 percent off his 5-night hotel stay (because of a valid complaint).

1. Although the heat wave has returned, it doesn't seem as bad as the last one, so far, and the A/C unit is keeping things comfortable inside.
2. I found a book I've been looking for at AbeBooks | Shop for Books, Art & Collectibles and ordered it.
3. I recently started watching The Crown (TV Series 2016– ) - IMDb on Netflix and it is simply superb. I would definitely recommend it.

Yuck. Not a chance.
No. The Second World War, Volume 3 : The Grand Alliance by Winston Churchill. I've been helping my son complete the 6 book collection.
"Churchill's six-volume history of World War II - remarkable both for its sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, universally acknowledged as a magnificent historical reconstruction and an enduring work of literature, won the Nobel Prize in 1953. This set includes the following: The Gathering Storm (1948), Their Finest Hour (1949), The Grand Alliance (1950), The Hinge of Fate (1950), Closing the Ring (1951) and Triumph and Tragedy (1953)." ~ Amazon.com description

Dr. Phil hasn't won the Nobel Prize yet. But all his episodes are available for instant viewing, at least in the US

As are the episodes of The Kardashians and other trash reality shows...
For me, watching Dr. Phil is about as beneficial as eating the "real fruit" in Pop-Tarts

He's probably pretty close to Vegemite pop tarts.
If you add ice cream, it takes some of the sting out of the Vegemite:
Of course, to increase omega-3s, one should deep fry the Pop-Tarts first
@gooblax, don't forget Vegemite ice cream as well.

Whoops, went to the store but forgot to buy extra vegemite to mix into some ice cream. :facepalm:
There were plenty of timtams though.

- A neighbour's black cat was settled on the fence in the sun this afternoon.
- I got to pat it because I had plenty of time, no one else was around, there were no loud noises, and it was slightly higher up so didn't feel threatened by my approach.
- It was cute, soft and fluffy.

Cats are great. They are low maintenance supurrvisors
