Actually, I don’t have any waterproof foot options currently. That’s definitely something I should see to that I’ve been (bada-chhh!) dragging my feet on.

Keypad is a good idea. We go through the garage a lot (has a keypad), but it would be nice to not always have to. Frankly we should also upgrade the garage opener motor so it doesn’t sound like a dying garbage disposal every time we use it :joy:

Are your pots and pans in good shape, do that have all the lids?

Do any pillows need replacing? Foam topper out matters replacement?

Shelving/organization stuff?

Dog walker/doggie daycare?

A more comfortable computer chair? I used a bad one for way too long just because it wasn’t falling apart yet but I realized I was cutting short my video game time because I didn’t want to sit any more.

A really good lidded coffee container that’s insulated so your odds of drinking it at the right temperature go up?

Take a week to pay attention to what really annoys you. A second broom in the other end of the house has really upped my quality of life. But it’s going to vary tremendously from person to person.

Ooh I recently bought a second vacuum, so one is up and one is downstairs. Plus I couldn’t do the whole house on my v7s battery anymore. It was a good choice for me lol.

I recently upgraded a few things in the kitchen. I kept running out of glasslock containers when meal prepping, so I just bought a whole new set and now I have all the containers I could ever need. This has brought me more joy than I ever imagined haha

I also bought a stainless steel set of measuring cups, after using plastic ones where the paint with the size had been worn off for like 10 years

I got a new really nice cheese grater after using one from my parents wedding 48 years ago (literally) for my entire adult life.

Oh! I saw you mentioned being picky about pillows. I am also really picky, and I bought a ridiculously expensive down pillow a few years ago and I love it. It’s Southern Living ( I think I got it at Dillards) and it’s just the right firmness, but doesn’t make your neck hurt, and you can punch it to fluff it up and it’s just really great. I think it was like $120 but totally worth it.

Questions:

  • for DSLR/mirrorless or iPhone/Android or both?
  • do you need/want it to be wireless?

For a camera, not a phone. Both would be cool but not needed perk.
Wireless ideal but one of those but pack things is doable.

Spend whatever it costs to get pants/a whole new wardrobe that is comfy and fits. Dedicated babysitting time etc. But be comfy
