I won three things in various online contests today :D

1. Stephen King's new book "Later" (what a pity that I have already read it - and I was disappointed with it, it wasn't as good as most of his other novels) and a mug with the "Later" cover graphics on.
2. A drawing.
3. A set of two body care cosmetics.

I'm very proud of my winnings :D

Thanks, I'm so proud of myself :D I wish I won something really expensive again - last autumn for example, I won a voucher for buying pieces of furniture for 5 000 zlotys and another one, for buying various sorts of make up removers - this one, this time for 1 500 zlotys. One USD is like 4 Polish zlotys so it's quite a big sum :)

The fellow who got it , is mechanically inclined . And has many cars . And privately repairs them . But this was a highly customized motorbike . Think he will be pleased with it he was all smiles when he left with it .I hope can too.

Hmm, before writing it here it sure felt like no achievements were made in the previous 12 hours.

Started the day with washing then trimming my hair after a couple months not trimming it.
& thanks to ME/CFS had to take a several hour nap after that.

Then walked across a vacant lot and a 2 lane road to the grocery store for a couple items.
(it is quite nice having groceries that close to home with my health being the mess it is)
Visited with a neighbor, and one of the gals from a local home health agency, who happened to individually be there at the time.
Neighbor said he might just come to writers group since he has written a book he's thinking about getting published.
Had to just sit for a while when back home after that, too.
I walked both because the day was gorgeous, I needed some activity even though my body was having trouble, and because I wasn't up for driving, therefrore iif I was going it was going to be on foot.

Later in the day answered a vintage airplane question for someone on line.
Also happened across a vintage airplane maintenance photo which looked useful to Juliette where she is making an RAF museum on the model railway layout which shares her sewing room, so sent that to her.

And now I'm sitting here with Georgie cat & flipping through the online version of the May issue of Model Railroader magazine while waiting for the physical copy to eventually be delivered by the mail.

Tomorrow, Saturday, is creative writers group meeting & I don't want to use up a bunch of energy today then be unable to go tomorrow, so, managing energy may also count as an achievement today.

discovered a neat new audiophile thingie that lets you virtually audition the general sound of various models of stereo loudspeaker-

you just enter the type of headphone you have, and it does the rest.

Brings to mind why there is one way I'm glad to have to go out to do laundry, no chance of getting Grumman or Georgie trapped in washing machine.
