Fun Little Things Friday #5

Summer is finally here

Technically summer starts in eight and a half hours, but I will be asleep by then so we’re celebrating now. Even though my brain has been in summer mode for the last month or so, it’s nice to see the calendar catch up.

It’s summer, it’s Friday, and I’m taking the closest thing to a vacation I get all year. Tomorrow morning I’ll head up to my parents house and work from there for a week, just for a change of scenery and to chill out for a bit.

I’ve been in such a rut for the last few months, I’m hoping this week at home will be a little bit of a jolt to my system, to get me going again.

Fun Little Things from this Week

1. Sister Wives Tell-All

I first started watching Sister Wives back when I was in college more than a decade ago, when my roommate got me hooked and it’s still the only reality TV show I watch regularly. The last tell all for the season was this week and man I need someone to tell Kody off, to his face.

2. Figuring out my transparent sticky notes

Transparent sticky notes have been all over my Tiktok and Instagram feeds for forever really. I bought some. And I could never figure out what kind of pens worked on these, because the sticky notes are sheer. But I figured it out this week - brand name Sharpies - and I think it’s unlocked a happy part in my brain. I love fun office supplies.

3. No cavities

I’ve been having some random tooth pain, and after a year, I finally went back to the dentist (having a less than stellar job means less than stellar insurance and with doctor anxiety in general, I made it bigger in my head than it was), so I went to the dentist and was surprised (in a good way) to see I have no cavities. Sometimes it’s the little wins you get.

It’s been a wonky week here in my life, but I think that’s the whole purpose of this series - to find the fun in the wonky, the sad, and depressing world we live in.
