My husband, 25 years working in finance: "Honey, what's 750 divided by two?" Me: "You're kidding me." Hubby: "I don't have my calculator with me." Me: "This explains everything about 2008."

My 3 year old son, whose daddy is a nuclear physicist, saw a light out in the hallway, "oh, when will mama fix it?" Daddy smiled, because he knows I do most of the handiwork in the house (like installing all of our lighting fixtures and our entire Ikea kitchen).

My husband is also a software engineer and I definitely assemble all of our furniture when we get something new. I even assembled his new office chair. He doesn't care one bit because he knows I enjoy it and he finds it annoying to put things together. But he did tile our bathroom when it came time for that

Tbf that's pretty far off from what most software developers do.

Got out of bed (depression is a helluwa bítch)..

I have lost 12 pounds!!

I kissed the belly of my cat without being scratched in the face 😎

Finished a 45 page powerpoint presentation for work, with animations and everything. It took forever because of mountains of fact checking. I never want to see the damn thing again, its handed in, sayonara.

Funnily enough, moved house recently, so been building a lot of furniture, with help from my daughter when needed. No men, emasculated or otherwise, in this household!

I've been getting better sleep lately :)

Just got my forth college degree and with only top marks. What about you Monday?

Student loan was paid off in full!!!

I got a real adult job and used the money to buy tools so I can build stuff.

I bought a house!

Change brakes on my car. Never tell a man because they're so amused that they all ask me to do it for them just so they get a kick out of seeing a woman change the damn breaks. It's pathetic.

I just survived the plague. Ok, it was the flu but it felt like the plague and kicked my butt for two solid weeks.

This wasn't recent but one time my husband at the time refused to read the directions to put up our above ground pool and was getting no where. When I started reading the directions he got mad and stormed off saying "you do it then". So I did. Got the pool up with the sand filter and the salt water generator installed correctly. He hated that pool. 😂

I installed window blinds.

I got through another day idk

Monday, thank you for starting this thread! It developed wonderfully! Made my day!

All these small wonderful things people are doing, we often forget the teensy tiny changes we make daily that make our lives better. Awesome that with your help Monday, we get to see and share them. Me, I moved house and have been unpacking a couple of boxes each day instead of ruminating about it all. Little change, big effects.

I roasted a literal ton of coffee in one morning

I haven't had a drink of liquor in 3 weeks. Go me!

I changed all of the parts in my toilet tank.

Put together a huge cat tree 3 different levels with stairs and hammocks. No instructions, just pics and with pieces not marked and very very similar in lengths. Took me 8 hrs but considering what I dealt with 8 hrs is probably decent length of time. And btw the cats love it

I cleaned the whole house

Went grocery shopping 🥦

Got my credit high enough after divorce to finance a car.

I built a floor cabinet, one side has my cats litterbox, the other side has all of their food and extra litter and the food bowls and water fountain go on top

Drew something I’m proud of

Redid my kitchen and started on the bathroom. Only spending $ on good quality paint.

I put together three of those clear water bead vase things you see on TikTok. The ones where you pour the water in, the beads become invisible, and it looks like everything is floating. I was so proud of myself for actually doing something I planned to, and that they looked pretty good!

This is a bit lame, but I defeated the ender dragon for the first time 😎 (I never wanted to before, but this was modded minecraft with a bit of a quest line, so I had to). 🤷‍♀️

I took a condensed 50,000 years of fashion history course online as part of my mission to improve my mental health and find a better path in life. It's working.

I put together at least 10 IKEA furniture before

i ate a full meal today :)

Renovated a house. Some stuff needs a revisit.

I made (sewed) a plane blanket that has a slit to go over my head so it doesnt fall when Im sleeping on the plane, a foot pocket to keep my feet extra warm, a pocket inside to hold my music device, and a hand pocket on the outside. There are buttons on the side to hold the back flap down and it folds up into its own pouch with a strap that attaches it to my travel pillow and carry on. I also made a coordinated sleep headband style headphones (corded) so that I can plug it into any of my devices or the plane entertainment system and the blanket pouch has a pocket for the headphones to keep it all together.

I learned a hard dance during play rehearsal today (the play is Matilda and that show is HARD)

Most recently I recognized the voice of a cartoon character by him sounding similar to his brother. If anyone is wondering, it's Jack from the last kids on earth on Netflix, also a book series. The boy who voices him is Finn Wolfhard's brother, otherwise known as Mike from stranger things.

Started a diet and exercise regime and for once stuck to it. Lost 3kg this week. I know it's mostly water weight and my body feels like c**p while adjusting to the lack of glucose but for once I'm not controlled by my stomach and it feels darn good.

Built an IKEA computer table for my daughter (after hauling it up to the 2nd floor all by myself!). That sonuvabitch had two screw holes that were off, but i fixed both - one, using a file, and the other, using a small torch (after I managed to get the screw stuck in it.) Thank you both of my grandpas for teaching me all the handy stuff!

So I've been learning Spanish off and on for about 5 years (I still don't know a lot, I've taken a lot of multiple-month breaks lol) and I've decided to start learning French as well even though the pronunciations scare me a bit! :D
