Random gratitude

 
Let's just do some, since I said I was going to try to do these rando gratitude posts more

- My BFF helping me with some financial stuff to think through

- Along the same lines, yesterday I was like 'It's June....uh-oh, have you used the money in your FSA?? It's use it or lose it" I logged in and saw it has all been used and it was done automatically, when there was stuff the regular insurance didn't cover. So that's cool

- I had to go to the office today to fix a paperwork situation. It was easily fixed (YAY) and even though I got there late, I still nabbed a parking spot.

- I got a $5 bonus on a Prolific study. I'm not even sure why. In any case, in the past 3 days I made $36 total. 

- And I shouldn't forget to be grateful for the fact that neither of the drag shows I went to this year had an opening act. YAY! Because I honestly don't want one. My guess is that they sold so many M&G tix that there was no time and no need for one.

And on the NOT gratitude side, another vegan restaurant is closing. (Liberation Kitchen) It's hard for small businesses, especially ones with a niche audience. I myself have been doing less Door Dashing and eating out to save money. Also, a lot of 'regular' restaurants just have better vegan offerings now. I remember when Doris and I were in NYC in October, we never once ate at a vegan place - we didn't have to. Everywhere had vegan options, and good ones. Still, I will miss Liberation Kitchen and will recommit to hitting up Manna and Chicago Diner and Planta Queen more often
