I have so much randomness to share. First though, I’d like to mark you all “safe” from seeing another vague and unhinged post from me. I had one written Tuesday and just published it privately.
One vague thing though (sorry!) – at dinner on Tuesday, Steven complimented me, saying I’m handling uncertainty very well. He said he’d been thinking about that and how navigating uncertainty in flying over the past year has helped me with it. That’s 100% true, and I hadn’t even made that connection! Derp. So much of flying is uncertainty, unknowns, contingency planning, being flexible – I’ve said it before – that’s good for me.
Tuesday dinner
I’ve been so sensitive to smells lately. Coffee brewing, strong food smells, smoke, perfume, strong detergent. Ugh.
Isn’t it crazy how hard it is to read some news articles with all the pop-ups and ads? I often give up.
My monthly sticker subscription brings me so much joy. THESE ARE SO CUTE!
And yes I use them!
Last week at work my supervisor emailed me and the three others in my position, addressing them by their first names, but using my last name. It made me chuckle. We share the same first name (and there are a few other Kims), so I’m sometimes called by my last name out loud, but it was funny to see it in writing.
Yesterday a few people at work were talking about the painted rock I left in the bathroom. I happened to have a few with me to show, and my coworkers who know I paint were bragging on me big time. They’re so sweet!
I calmed down enough to call the dentist Tuesday. Then they told me their scheduling system was down and they couldn’t schedule me. Ha. But they called back Wednesday and I now have an appointment for next Tuesday. They also called me back after I scheduled and told me I need to stop taking my blood thinners for the appointment and I told them no, that’s inaccurate, and that was cleared up after they wouldn’t clean my teeth last time. ANYWAY. Adding a reminder to my calendar now to call them Monday and confirm they will actually clean my teeth on Tuesday.
I’m with you on giving up on sites that have too many ads. Or the ones that want me to turn my ad blocker off. Uh nope. The way I think of it is back in the old days we had to option to walk away during commercials or to fast forward through them. If someone makes it mandatory for me to see ads, I’m out.
I did not know that sticker subscriptions were a thing, but now that I do I might have to get one!
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and work in an account management role. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂

Those stickers really are very cute!
