Today

Today I am proud.

Proud that I got in the car by myself (with Olive) and made myself drive to the food store.

(Have I ever told you that I'm terrified of driving in new places? Especially on busy roads?)

(Oh, well I am.)

And I survived without getting lost or in an accident!
(Unless you count when I hit the mailbox backing out of the garage. I don't.)

Olive and I also checked out this HUGE consignment shop called "The Hive." It was super

cute, and they had great children's merchandise, but I was a little disappointed with the adult section.

Also, the employees weren't the friendliest.

And Olive had to use the bathroom every 5 minutes.

But we did it - we went out alone and everything was fine 

and my confidence may have gone up just a tiny notch.

Also today, I worked on the ridiculously hard puzzle Matt and I started last night.

I searched online and via phone for a doctor in Holland for hours, with no luck.

(3-8 month wait times for new patients! I kid not!)

I also made an appointment to have my poor piano tuned this Saturday.

(The tuner had the thickest Michigan accent I've heard since arriving.)

Oh, and I made brownies. 

All in all a pretty good day.
