Fire stick

Last Prime day I bought a new device. It's the Fire stick basic international edition. In the beginning, I was really excited because it could do so much more than a Chromecast. However, I got problems with registering and downloading apps. So after a weekend I gave up and waited for some free time after work and thought why not start from scratch. I register a new Amazon account and it worked. 

I have used it to follow my American drama's that haven't been updated through my rss app. So with an VPN and the fire stick, I have been watching the newest movies and series again. Hurray! The following movie Enola and the series Lucifer and The Good Doctor are superb. 

But the greatest thing is the connectivity with an bluetooth headset. I can watch the movie with my headset on. There are times when someone is in the kitchen making food or making a lot of noise. I connect my trusted wireless headset and watch the movie in peace. This is the biggest difference with Chromecast. And I like the remote that comes with it. And during Prime day it only cost 20 euros which is half the price off a Chromecast. I just love it!

Birthday

Normally I don't like to work on my birthday. However, I didn't requested in time for free days and I was scheduled with a training. Damn, but it was fun cause I didn't need to talk for around three days. I could mute myself and mom could call without trouble. 

This year we didn't made any schedule and I didn't eat out. Instead I haven't really anticipated to it. Basically I don't really care anymore about birthday. It just means getting older but I am thankful of course that I am healthy. 

Birthdays passes by just like any normal day. I didn't need grand gifts or celebrations, I am content with what I have and with whom I am. I am happy!

Freebies with a twist

I have been using these cardholders for few years. Kidding, these are brand new. Before using the knock off Secrid, I did use one of these. But as you perhaps know I dislike doing marketing for any company without getting paid. These have been laying around and during cleaning, I found these and was planning to threw them away until I remember it's paper. I only need the inside. I can find a nice paper to cover the outside. Just like my metal cardholder. This is a nice and easy project to do. I already have it cleaned up. Now, I only need to find nice wrap paper to make it usable. And start crafting again. 

 

Hooks

Last week I fixed something that has been bothering me for a while. Last year, I already fixed the trouble in my own room but the one in the bathroom has been like a stain on a white cloth. I have fixed the over the door hook in my own room for a year or something. 

During Covid-19 seeing the movement of a hook continuously is really bothersome. So I took the sticky mat and cut pieces to stop the movement. The marks on the door let you see how slippery it could be. But this can be fixed within minutes. I just need to do it. 

Paper shredder

 During prime day I have bought a new paper shredder. The old one I have is a cheap one from a decade ago. It only shreds in stripes and the buttons to operate broke fast. I only used it with pulling the plug to operate it. Now I wanted to buy an Amazonbasics shredder but the Fellows one was also in sale for a lower price than the basics. I canceled my order and order the Fellows. 

Next day I received it and was over the moon. I got it out of the box and start shredding. I am so happy because I still have a pile of documents that needs to be digitalized and then destroyed. I told my sister and a colleague how happy I am. My sister bought one a few months ago a Rexell and she recommended me to buy it too.
