Tiny Complaints

Vinegar? My washing machine cleaning thing can be store bought or just a cup of bleach or a cup of vinegar (or however much of the vinegar I slosh in). If I do the bleach I do something in the next load that will be okay if it gets a teeny bleach spot on it (I only got a bleach spot on the next load once but it was on one of my favorite shirts).

Half a Costco jar of bitchin sauce. I dumped it all over the counter right after I took the lid and seal off.

Salvaging a bunch for lunch but like. I don’t want that much right now.

My tiny complaint is me. Nothing like leaving my annual self-review AND peer reviews until 3:30 on the Friday they’re due…

Scope creep. The towel hook pulled out of the wall so it needs to be replaced but the towel bar matches it and they’re a particular beige tone things so that needs to be replaced too. I don’t know if we have paint that matches the walls of the new hardware doesn’t cover the old spots. It’s not urgent, just annoying.

It’s an almond-lemon based sauce and it’s so so good - the chipotle one that BJ had is especially delicious. It’s an awesome dip for bread, veggies, etc.

I’ll have to get my friend to buy me some next time he’s at Costco!

I am really happy, got the coffee maker back, cost were 170 Euro, they had to replace a sensor and I asked them to do
a complete maintenance. The maschine is 3 years old, the Jura ones are good for 10 years, so it was a good investment.

I’d recommend getting a smaller amount to try first—it’s available in other stores:

Yesss I love it so much. Two major uses for me- I dip quesadillas in it (that was lunch yesterday)) and I use it as the sauce on our sheet pan bakes over rice- so roast andouille, bell pepper, broccoli, and red onion over brown rice, topped with bitchin sauce. So good.

The grocery store weekly ad is being unhelpful with figuring out next week’s meals.

My dad’s best (only) friend died. I’m watching my dad give the eulogy on a livestream and it’s giving me feeeeelings.

I’m sorry. That’s sad and terrible. His life won’t be the same

He’s thinner than when I saw him in the summer, his hands shake.

Watching the whole funeral, with all the people talking in my hometown regional accent, is a trip. I bet the next time I speak it comes out rural BC.

I burned my expensive gluten free dumplings and they were a disappointing dinner instead of a delicious treat. :pensive:

Extra nauseous today.

Went to Target today and it took me no fewer than 4 tries to find a cart that was not making some horrible noise. Lifting the toddler in and out of each one was my workout for today.

Why does Neil Gaiman have to be one of the bad ones. His work was formative to me. My fucking cats are named after characters he created! I am literally wearing a Death t-shirt right now! :slightly_frowning_face:
