Two Logistical NSVs

I love it when NSVs surprise us.  Some can be scary (like almost losing a ring or your pants falling down), but others are quite useful.

I had two of those recently.  

The first one:  For the past few years, my dh has had to clip my toenails for me, as I can't reach my feet without major acrobatics.  I'm terribly ticklish, though, so it always wound up with him frustrated and telling me to "stop being a baby and keep still!"  Well, the other day, in an effort to avoid that kind of scene, I discovered that I can now trim my own toenails!  Woohoo!

The second one: I had a meeting today at work where I needed to take minutes/assist as needed.  The chairs in that room give me the  hives, as the only way I can get out of them is to slide forward and scoot out-  otherwise, I take the chair with me.  As a consequence, I always stay after the meetings so that no one can see me do my awkward butt shuffle.  Today, though, the faculty needed something done mid-meeting, and putting my hands on the armrests, I stood up and lo and behold, with just a little squeezing of my upper thighs, I was out of the chair!  No scooting needed!

Logistical NSVs FTW!

Feeling rad,

And this is just the start LB! Lots more to come! I keep a list of NSVS and a before picture on my frig to motivate me on those hard days. Works for me!

Oooh, that's a good idea, karenp8!  I might do the same about the NSVs-  Maybe keep a list in my wallet every time I get tempted to derail. *nods*
