Do the thing you've been putting off!

They went in the trash. I kept the one purchased last year.

3 bras in the trash too, they were getting worn out looking and the are smaller so they cut in a bit. I still have 5 more in that style of which 3 haven’t been worn yet. Time to add them into the rotation.

SO was teasing me that we are only allowed 2 bags of garbage. We usually only have less than half a bad for 2 weeks.

I wanted to reply to this thread, the title speaks to me. Then I realized that the thing I need to do that I’ve been putting off is… My Life. I keep putting off living my life because ‘things’ keep happening.

I think most of the ‘things’ are over for now. I just have to remember what My Life was supposed to be.

I just finally scheduled a dentist appointment. First one since the pandemic (and actually because of insurance things, first one since I was in college) so I know it’s not going to be pretty… one of the reasons why I’ve put it off. But now that it’s scheduled, and there will be a fee if I don’t show up, I’m locked in… doesn’t feel like a victory, but it is.

That’s a huge victory! And FWIW, I went to the dentist after not having gone for… 6? 10? Years. I forget how long. (Major thanks to @anomalily bullying me into following through), and there actually wasn’t any big issues! I had a couple “watch spots” and one eventually turned into a cavity, but just wanted to reassure you it’s not like, for sure doom. And no one mentioned anything weird or judgmental about how long it had been. Having done it once has made it way easier to stay on top of keeping going.

So. Well done!

Thanks for the reassurance! I am also hoping that going once will make it easier to make it something that has to happen regularly. Next on my list is finding a good Primary Care Provider… Adulting is hard :sweat_smile: but I’m celebrating the victories where I can

I started the summer window washing. It doesn’t take long, but it’s a huge PITA and I hate doing it…

I cancelled my normal tooth scaling in Jan because of DH’s job change. I had my next cleaning yesterday and I was afraid it would be BAD. I hadn’t gone 6 months without a toothcleaning in more than 10 years…

But no problems! The hygenist told me she’s had people who hadn’t seen the dentist in years do just fine, if their home care is good enough…

I’m gonna chime in here with the fact that a lot of teeth stuff are out of our control and due to genetics or where you live and if you have fluoride in your water and stuff. Husband has excellent teeth hygiene and gets problems way more than me with my scattershot approach to teeth.

Yep - I went 25 - 30 years without any problems. At my dental cleaning I only had minor tartar and plaque, from only brushing my teeth most days, and only “flossing” inconsistently with those pick flossers

I am damn lucky.

Yep. Husband and I do exact identical teeth hygiene and have for over a decade now. Same brushes, floss, paste, toothbrush head replacement schedule, water, dental cleaning schedule, all that jazz. We also have very similar diets. In the same period where I only got watch spots, he got 3 cavities. His whole family is very prone to them versus mine. Genetics are wild.

This makes me feel better about my many cavities.

Yep, my dad had GREAT teeth, had more of his own when he died in his 80s than his dentist. My mom on the other hand, had dentures in her 30s.

I wish I had my Dad’s teeth, but I don’t. I seem to have Mom’s propensity for cavities/gum disease, but if I work at it, I can forestall the issues…

Today I’m washing sheets, blankets, and mattress cover. While all of those are off the bed, I’m going to move the mattress and box springs, so I can fix the slats that have moved/fallen out and vacuum underneath and retrieve cat toys. I’ve been putting this off for about 3-4 months. (I’ve washed sheets during that time, just not the list of things to be done). First load of bedding in the washer.
