With the best intentions in mind I’m sure, my neighbor called the police to do a wellness check on me at 4am this morning.
She was concerned because I had not brought my trash can in (this is one of my anxiety staples, I always bring my trashcan in right after they pick it up… I have been letting it “de-virus” at the curb for an extra day over the last month or so before returning it to my house).
She also noticed my kitchen light was on overnight (I live alone so I alternate one light on in random places of the house each night).
She said she was concerned I had been hit by a car on my bike.
But… 4am? They arrived pounding on the doors and shining flashlights through the window, I thought someone was trying to break in
I’m exhausted.
16 days after the first two pairs found new homes, and no word on the last ones arriving. And I’ve mailed out a 4th pair to someone on the wet coast because I hold out hope that not everything will suck.
They’re super sensitive and go off multiple times every day, for 10-15 minutes at a time. I’m also ridiculously hostile about beeping things (I was a lot of fun in the hospital…I think the whole place is actually constructed of nothing but concrete and beeping things), so ummm…I should probably move.
I used baker’s flour for making bread, thinking it would be better? It was weird and doughy and didn’t work. Second batch with normal plain flour now in the breadmaker. I’m low on flour and need to order more on the weekend.
Second complaint: We agreed Friday would be takeaway night! I want garlic naan and chips. These don’t seem to be able to come from a single shop. I’m also too wound up to eat curry but I want curry (so… adding it to the menu to make next week instead). But we don’t have a good burger place I’m familiar with! Kind of tempted to be uncultured and order McDonald’s.
Oh my, the internet tells me many different things. The word is not used consistently. I think I’ll email the shop I purchased it from and ask for help!
Husband worked his ass off first quarter. His bonus was half of what we calculated it should be. Now we need to figure out WTF.
All practical things point to us moving to the suburbs. (No income tax versus Oregon’s very high income tax. Cheaper homes. Better schools). But we liiiiike it here. When it’s not a pandemic. But I also would like a yard. And to not spent over 50% of our take home on housing.
