Was that a reward for doing pushups?
Yeah, I manifested the watermelon from the Universe
I am actually using it as a medicine ball for now since it is so round and heavy.

1. I successfully rode to the bike store, which I was very nervous about doing because it's an unfamiliar route (as is any route that isn't just to/from work).
2. Bought the things I'd intended to get, although the tyre tubes have extra long valves because they didn't have the normal sized ones for some reason.
3. Yesterday I helped someone on fbook by posting the first result that came up when I googled their problem (after skipping to the relevant part of the video for them). Small win.

1. Schitt's Creek (Canadian TV series picked up by Netflix) is hilarious.
2. Instant Pot still makes perfect rice.
3. Elderly neighbor is now almost pain free after getting new meds.
BONUS: Because of COVID-19, my insurance is covering everyone's co-pays for mental health for the rest of the year.

1. Hoping to be able to localise the 'bad smell' in my backpack. Otherwise I'll have to wash it over the weekend.
2. Didn't have to answer any hard questions at yesterday's work meeting.
3. Might ask therapist for some ideas on the annual passive suicidal ideation and self destructiveness that happens around this time of year.
Bonus: Found the stinky culprit - my new bike tube.

Second bonus: There's a scrub turkey that hangs around the bus stop near my office (there's a creek / tree area). Today it was standing with two guys having a conversation and a cigarette, and then followed them back to their office. :lol:

So many questions...
1. What's a scrub turkey? Does it come in and clean your house?
2. Was the turkey conversing in 'stralian or Turkish?
3. How does the turkey buy cigarettes? or does he just bum them?
4. The turkey has an office?

Oh man I wish. That would be incredibly useful. Alas, the scrub (or brush!) turkey does no such thing.
Must have been Turkish, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. But the two humans were speaking 'stray-an so all three must be multilingual.
Definitely was bumming them off the other blokes. Probably why he hangs out at the bus stop.
Presumably. He went in past the carpark and disappeared into a secure location.

Hmmm... I wonder if that could be one of those government turkey agents we've been hearing so much about lately... you never know what they're up to.
Here in Canada they use Canada Geese, but they don't smoke. They just attack you.

1. Got $20 off by ordering grocery pickup for the first time at Safeway.
2. Had an epiphany: mixing unsweet tea with diet/Splenda tea tastes pretty good.
3. Hopefully on the last heat wave. Chickens are enjoying frozen watermelon.

- Didn't get locked out on my balcony when the door blew shut. I was somewhat concerned since it's an old door, even though it shouldn't have been able to engage the locking mechanism. I didn't fancy breaking a window or yelling out for a neighbour to call a locksmith.
- Cooked a pastry for breakfast.
- Coming up with a plan for my day off in a couple of weeks.
I started bringing my mobile phone with me after I was locked inside a chicken coop for a few minutes

I do that just going out into the hall to take out the garbage - it's a just-in-case OCD thing since my door is a deadbolt.

When I was installing my door seal (which took many open/close door situations) I had to put my keys in my pocket every time just in case.I do that just going out into the hall to take out the garbage - it's a just-in-case OCD thing since my door is a deadbolt.
I'm usually much less worried about my balcony... but probably not anymore!
"Oh maybe I should make sure it's secured open... nah, it'll be fine no worries." *2 minutes later - SLAM!* "Oh. Oh ****. Umm. Nah, it'll be alright. Just finish hanging up the washing and proceed as normal. No use checking yet. If it's locked it'll still be locked when I'm done with the washing." :lol:
