We've been in NYC for 13 hours and only taken the subway the wrong direction once, and only for two stops.

Got in the shower and found the previous day's washcloth (green) still hanging on the inner rod (where the pink one is). Grabbed it and meant to toss it on the floor, but instead flung it on the outer rod. Prolly couldn't do that again if I tried. (Well, I prolly could, but it might take a while.) Oh wow, look at Ms. Moneybags over here with her two shower curtain rods! |

For the past month or so, there's been a black Uniball micro ballpoint pen that found its way into the inside lining of my peacoat. I was on the bus en route to the gym this morning, and realized this was the perfect time to figure out how it had made its way inside (as I wanted to draw and had forgotten my pencil). I didn't actually sketch anything, but I got the pen out.

I refilled my pill case this morning without dropping anything.

I took a photo yesterday that is perfect for adding a bullshit affirmation quote to.

I achieved the Ramtamstic badge in the QuizUp app by winning 50 matches in a row.

I successfully defended my PhD dissertation today, thus finally bringing to completion my decade long sojourn as a foot-dragging, procrastinating, self-doubting grad student.

Personal victory of the day:
I got Lin-Manuel Miranda to respond to one of my tweets wherein I made a Simpsons joke.

I finally finished a logo quiz app that I have been playing on and off for two years. That last level was hard. Had to use hints and a lot of Googling. "This is a large insurance company in Brazil" thanks, that helps. But I eventually finished it.

For about 20 brief, shining minutes before I started dinner last night, everything in the kitchen was clean. Every surface, every dish, every utensil.

I finally, at my advanced age, learned how to hotwire a car. (Well, an old truck.)
Maybe now my friends will stop laughing at me.

The band I play drums in won Best Punk Act 2016 at a local music awards thing. We didn't even put any effort into getting people to vote for us or turn up to the awards night because we're well punx (and I was at home looking after a 1 year old who was refusing to sleep).

My tire pressure light's been on since the first cold night last October, and today I finally put air in my tires. The light went off! I'm INVINCIBLE!

For the first time since starting this job, I remembered to add my mileage to and from the airport to an expense report. (This is only my fifth expense report since starting).

Managed to send an authentic-sounding apology to another editor for being delayed in answering her queries about style-related stuff instead of capslocking, "YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LET ME OVERNIGHT YOU A COPY OF THE APA STYLE GUIDE FROM THE LIBRARY BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR MAKING ME SCAN THE ENTIRE CITATIONS CHAPTER FOR YOU".

I took my car to the dealer and said "oh this light is on - I don't know what it means!" and they put air in my tires for me! I did know what the light meant. |

I took my car to the dealer and said "oh this light is on - I don't know what it means!" and they put air in my tires for me! I did know what the light meant. HAHAHAHA! Nice! That's what Boomer does, too. Her tire light is always going on, and she's also spent all winter driving around on underinflated tires right along with me. She kept threatening to go over to the dealer, and I kept insisting we could do it ourselves. Putting air in tires is the only car thing I know how to do! I'm just really, really slow to get around to doing it. (I was delighted a few weeks ago seeing some older middle-aged dude in a BMW pull into the gas station, wander over to the attendant, and ask the dude for help with his tires. I wanted to be all, "Step aside, little lady. Let me handle this for you.") |

Liz n Dicksgiving and Mrs David Tennant - it's actually pretty bad to drive around for a long time on underinflated tires. You should check them monthly if you can. This message brought to you by a guy who spent a decade doing tire-related litigation.

I was up in Baltimore for a conference, and my buddy and I decided to grab a drink at the Pratt Street Ale House. They had just started trivia, and I suggested we play while we had our beers. Managed to win with just the two of us, despite missing the first round.
