Our HVAC guy was shocked and offended (shocked and offended, I tell you!) when I requested a quote before having them do some non-urgent work. And then tried to mansplain to me why I didn’t really want a quote.

My kids will be at their Ontario grandparents’ place from dec 23-30. It will be awesome for a day or two and then very boring. I can’t find cheap flights to anywhere interesting for those dates.
My nasty floors are upsetting me. If I had better DIY skills, I’d figure out how to refinish them. It’s a rental, but I still have to live here! For added interest, Kid-4 has splashed bits of four different hair dye shades in various places across the bathroom floor. She is a hazard to my damage deposit.
I stepped in dog shit in the dark and now it’s mashed into the car mat and possibly on the edge of it too on the actual car. I don’t know how to get it out and I’m really grossed out.
Oh noooooo that is the absolute fucking worst. 
I sneezed hard enough to mess up a muscle in my shoulder.
My phone is at home. This also means I can’t do a non-urgent errand I was going to do today but had psyched myself up for. Maybe I’ll have motivation to do it next week.
I don’t have any Speculoos.
I don’t have any speculoos either, and I don’t know what they are. But Clare likes them so they must be cool.
Also my day is full of not fun, not optional activities and my pee is pink, so I need to be resting but can’t.
My feet are cold but the rest of me is too hot.
I hope kiddo’s appointment goes well along with whatever else you have to do today, and you’re able to rest later. Lots of rest. Hugs.
Speculoos is also known as Biscoff spread or Cookie Butter (I think cookie butter is slightly different). You may not have the latter in Canada. And it is amazing.
I remember people talking about biscoff/ cookie butter! I looked it up and apparently it is sometimes available here. Also it didn’t look great, but all sorts of things are good in person and not great when described.
It is so much better than “ground up cookies mixed with vegetable oil” makes it sound.
I’m $3800 off on this cash flow statement. Fuck.
I’m like 1/3 through my salad and I don’t want it anymore.
I was about to shell out like $100 for interior car detailing for someone else to clean the dog shit because I cannot deal, but then realized I can buy a new car mat. I think there’s some poo residue off the mat too, but it’s not chunks and I can clean it myself. Unfortunately the new car mats come in sets for the whole car but $80 (cheapest I found for the ones that fit properly) is better than $100+ and it’ll actually be completely clean! I’m so glad that I can afford to throw money at the problem. And I hate to waste stuff but I’m really ok throwing out this nasty poop-encrusted mat.
A pox on the person that didn’t pick up after their dog!
Two tiny complaints, if I may:
My credit card info was skimmed (AGAIN) so I have to get a new card for the second time in a month 
At least Chase’s fraud department has been very good so far.
We’re supposed to get over a foot of snow starting on Sunday. Guess I’ll just have to channel these fuzzies:

Today is very very long and my supply of energy is very very short. I want to lie on the floor in protest.
You may be able to remove the mat and clean it - you can knock off the grossness, scrub it with soap, and either air dry or vacuum with a car wash super vacuum.
ETA: Just noticed the cannot deal bit. Apologies and tiny complaint at myself for poor reading comprehension.
@Smacky I almost laid on the floor in protest at work today.
