Took my car through a car wash for the first time today, because a bird pooped on my passenger side window right before a road trip and I don't want my partner's view to be ruined on the way to the beach
Not really a triumph, I just had to lay there and watch as they appeared on a screen while a technician wiggled a thing in my mouth.
Now they can be aligned...
invisibly.
That sounds way more comfortable than the xrays and taking of casts they did when I was a youth.

I always thought biting into the weird gooshy casting paste was weirdly satisfying. As long as they were using the grape flavor. The pina colada stuff was pretty wretched.

I remember telling my dentist it tasted like antifreeze, as a joke, and the look he gave me was, "Son, there is something wrong in your brain."
Holy shit what a day. First I missed my train because I overslept, then I missed the second train because I hit literally every possible light combined with traffic in general, despite leaving an hour early for a half hour drive when I started, and ran into the station just in time for the train to leave and for me to immediately start dry heaving because why the fuck not, as I resign myself to staying at the station for the next four hours to catch the next train to arrive at my destination at 9 PM.
So why is this in the inconsequential triumphs thread? Because as I was walking around Union Station, after successfully suppressing the dry heaves and calming down a bit, I saw Metrolink schedules on the side of the wall and long story short learned there was a county line leaving in half an hour that would get me to my destination by 6 PM, bought a ticket, and am sitting on the train right now as it wends its way northward. Too late on Friday for a restaurant when I arrive, so we're going to swing by In N Out for my birthday dinner.

I'm awesoming that because you're claiming it as a win. Happy birthday and good burgers to you, sorry about the rest of it.

All good, and yeah I figured it's a win since I managed to reach my destination while it's still daylight. Tomorrow's when we're going to be headed to a large mall to walk around, with the target of a Japanese imported candy shop.

Don't know how many of you have heard of Quordle, an unholy abomination take on Wordle. You have 4 different words to guess simultaneously and you get 9 chances. My daughter's boyfriend was trying to one up all of us and thought he'd start it because Wordle was just too easy for him.
yeah quordle is a lotta fun, it takes a bit of a different strategy to win consistently but I like it

My strategy for quordle is to do horse lucky and aping for the first three words as that is fifteen letters and you can usually get the rest from those ones.
My juror number was 37. I just called the telephone number to find out if I was one of the the 35 summoned to return tomorrow and they called 36 and 38. I have to call back tomorrow after 6pm "for further instructions" but they made that sound like it's basically just a back up incase they have to scrub the jury for some reason.
So I think I dodged the bullet of civil service in the Circuit Court for 3 years
With my luck though I'll get a grand jury summons tomorrow.

After three decades of biting my nails I've finally been bite free for like a month and used a pair of nail clippers for the first time in my life and wow that was a ride.
The indicator wand on my car (2009 Ford Fiesta) has been fucky for years, but not to the point where I HAD to fix it, especially since the mechanic had quoted me about $350 to put in a new one. Since I've recently started making above minimum wage (llllllladies), I decided this was something that I could afford to fix, but also something I could probably just fix for myself.
So I ordered a replacement wand online for a cool $150. The only model I could find had an extra button on the end for recording trip mileage, but whatever, I can deal with having a button that does nothing if it means the turn signal doesn't self-activate. Thanks to an instructional YouTube video, installation took 10 minutes and was easier than changing a headlamp. Huzzah!
But wait - bonus second insignificant victory! When I was driving to the shops later I hit that supposed does-nothing button on the end of the new indicator wand and a goddamn trip recorder appeared on the console. Which means the car was built with that function but they locked it out because the first owner didn't spring for that optional extra.

With an invisible alignment tool, like the ones used to service Wonder Woman's invisible jet!
(Don't ask me why the tools need to be invisible.)

I buried one of the shoots from my old pothos in an empty pot.
Now look at it grow.
Going to be snipping it off the first plant soon.

This is, obviously, a huge accomplishment for her and I am super ridiculously proud of her. My babe rocks.
But for me, I only get the reflected glory and the kudos for taking over things so she could study more, so for me it’s a minor triumph.
