10 Wow Things from This Week

It's been a crazy kind of week.  Here are 10 things that made me say "wow!" this week...

1. The Chairman of the Board called me 10 minutes before our meeting a couple days ago and said "I don't want to blindside you at the meeting but I will make a proposal to hire you as the permanent Executive Director."  I said wow (probably out loud), attended the meeting, was unanimously approved for my new permanent full time job, and now I am just waiting for the salary and contract negotiations to happen.  Never in a million years did I think I would be working at this point in my life, at this sort of job, and at this kind of pay.  Wow.
2. I bought a Roku.  I have heard about these streaming devices and Prepper Princess on YouTube raves about them so when I saw it was only $20 at Target, I picked one up.  Hubby and I were surprised there were so many free channels to watch!  Since this is a one-time $20 purchase, it certainly seems to be a bargain.  Of course there are some higher tier shows/channels you can pay for but we are perfectly happy watching the huge list of free (with ads) shows.  Wow!
3. The cats are still coming around so I feed whoever shows up each morning.  They are still feral so no point in trying to pet them which turns out to be a good thing since I saw on the news yesterday that a family in a nearby town rescued a feral kitten which turned out to have rabies!  Eeekkk and wow.
4. I didn't buy anything on Amazon Prime Day.  They had several things that I would have loved to have and the prices were great but at what point do I need to stop replacing my already good things with things that are only slightly better (example, I have a Tab S6 tablet that is still working perfectly fine and that I use maybe an hour or so in the evening but they had a new Tab S8+ on sale for $600 which was an excellent price but not really necessary so I didn't buy it).  When I told hubby I wasn't buying anything this year, he said "wow"...and still waited to see if the Amazon delivery van would show up!
5. The news has made me say "wow" more than a few times this week.  There was a hostage situation at a major casino resort.
6. A bunch of women brawling at another casino.
7. A naked guy dancing on a poker table.
8. And we are supposed to hit 117 degrees here on Sunday.  Wow!
9. Going food shopping always makes me say "wow" as the prices seem to be increasing daily!  Even the Dollar Tree has increased their prices (now everything is $1.45) and of course quantities are shrinking (a one pound bag of beans is now only 12 ounces).
10. The news always makes me say "wow" and not in a good way so I try to avoid it as much as possible.  I can hardly wait for election season to begin... :/
