Nothing Tuesday

Well, not exactly nothing. I may do laundry. Lunch will be the rest of the too hot Chinese from yesterday. I have a plan to maybe cool it off. So no need to go anywhere. Although I could go get my Krispy Kreme donut. If I were smart, I would walk up to KK every day for that donut. I don't think I'm smart and I'm not sure I can walk that far (and back). So I might skip the donut today.

My Don't Buy Now plan is working... Three times now. Sandals, forks, earrings. I seriously shopped for all three of those at some point in the last 24 hours. Last week, I would have bought. This week I got close and hit pause and didn't even have to wait a day before I knew that a buy was not worth it. Clearly I was solving more than a desire for retail goods.

I think this morning (which is rapidly being piddled away by me), I'll take a shower, pop a load of laundry in and then go walk around the block, dropping off some recycling in the dumpsters on the way.

That's the plan.

So far not good

My brother pointed out that it is not, in fact, Tuesday. I have no idea where Tuesday went. Or was it Monday that I lost? Makes no dif.

Turns out there is way more than one load of laundry to do.

Biggie just chomped on my hand big time. He was standing on a counter and I was just walking by and he lunged and dug his teeth into my hand. He released immediately but OUCH!!! And now I have a blood bruise and will soon have a scab on the back of my hand... again. Fuck. I really wish he would not do that.

My treadmill stopped again this morning but I know, this time, it was static electricity. I taped the metal bits but missed a spot. My hand touched it. Spark. Stop. So I need to cover that whole bar with some thick padding.

I'm pretty sure the walk is canceled on account of my hand injury. And attitude.

Really, not Tuesday????

A little success

Google told me that you could mitigate the heat in spicy foods by adding citrus. So I squirted yesterday's too hot Chinese with lime juice (from the plastic fridge lime) and darned if it didn't work! It wasn't perfect but it was way better and delicious.

So. Lesson learned there.

Laundry all done and folded and put away.

It took a couple of failed efforts but I think I have the treadmill shock/stop stopped. It's not the prettiest fix but unless the static is not the issue, it should work.

My latest 'find' is for the kitchen. I've been using these for dishcloths, towels and hot pads and instead of paper towels, I have to say, they are pretty darned good.



Of course, I'd rather have them in bright jewel colors but they are so useful, I forgive their dull looks.
