Tiny Complaints

And it looks like we are purchasing a new furnace this week.

I’ve just realized that the one day that’s shorter than every other day of the year, the day that literally loses an hour to stupidity? Yep, that’s international women’s day. Seems like more of the same right about now.

fuckity fuck fuck I just boiled my smallest pot dry again. It is still messed up from the last time I did it (during which I really burned the shit out of it, and I couldn’t get it completely clean). I love my pots (they are Calphalon stainless steel clad and I love how evenly they heat and also the flared rims make for perfect pouring) but it might be time to let this one go and try to find a replacement. I bought them when I moved out to the bay area, so 13 years ago.

So women only get 95.83% of the recognition time …

At least it is less than the pay gap?

And it’s not always on Daylight Savings day. Someone who likes math more than I do can figure out what percentage of the time March 8th falls on the day we lose an hour. But I know it’s not every year.

After a comprehensive online search for a new-to-me wool peacoat, I found a great one for a great price.

BUT I AM STILL SHOPPING. WHY BRAIN WHY?!?!??!

I have the urge to own the same peacoat in multiple colors (like, I need a cute mustard yellow one, right?). And maybe also a longer wool coat for when it’s colder. But I already have a very warm Canadian down parka!

My very favorite seller at ren Faire, whom I have never bought from because $$$$$$, good lord, SO very $$$$$$, is retiring. Everything is half price. I STILL cannot afford her.

She makes patchwork coats out of mostly recycled sweaters, but sometimes other materials. This one is all velvet and I wantsssssss it:

It is $175 on sale and a velvet coat is very impractical. Still: droooooool

How is this even a question? The answer to “do I need a cute mustard coloured thing?” is always Yes.

I read 3 books of a 4 book series this weekend and now I have to go to sleep without starting the 4th even though it’s already downloaded on my phone. Stupid work making me need stupid sleep.

Hah! They don’t make this coat anymore, and (Tiny Complaint) apparently J Crew changes up their sizing every year. I bought my coat in 8P but need to ask for pit measurements because I could probably wear 6P or 10P in the same coat depending on the year. If I could even find mustard in my size! (I shouldn’t look for one. Should. Not. Look.)

I was at a play and the guy next to me had a coughing fit and then was sniffling :open_mouth:

He wasn’t there after intermission…

Wrong thread, should be in the Desires thread :wink:

The plug socket that our oven goes into is broken. We reported this to our landlord, who told us she’d get someone in. We spent two weeks trying to get in touch with this man, and he finally got back to us saying “I’m a plumber, I can’t fix sockets”.

We have a difference of opinion in my house about what boobs are for and what night is for.

My tiny complaint is that she cut her prices by 50% and I STILL cannot afford this stuff! Whine.

So sleepy. We had a hard time with DST this year. The kids and I could not fall asleep when we were supposed to so we had a rough morning today.

I was sleeping last night and Boy Cat parked a fresh pee bum ON MY EYE. I ran out of bed with that eye shut to rinse it off.

It looks like the replacement visa gift card my friend procured is also fraudulent and has no money. It was embarrassing to tell her about the first one and make it a thing. I don’t think I can so it again. But I bought a breast pump with the idea of it.

I was so tired and jetlagged from the time change this morning that apparently I completely forgot to brush my teeth?

{looks down to check that I managed to at least decently clothe myself with relevant bits covered}
