toilet tuesday

Today's chore is bathrooms. I'm still using the spreadsheet but am hoping to get it memorized. Either than or move to a printed chart with stars. Probably the former. What I'm finding is that the chores really aren't nearly as time consuming and odious as I thought they would be and I've developed a habit of doing them in bits as I notice the need anyway.

It's way way easier when you live alone and have to clean up for nobody but you. I'm not too messy and I'm good about cleaning up after myself. So the chores are really just a reminder to check and make sure all's kosher.

Today I also need to move a bag of stuff for the Goodwill down to my car. I could also just go ahead and drive it over. And I may well do that and maybe also stop at Uwajimaya for more tangerines. And maybe lunch.

And that's it for the agenda.

Biggie's bed got a new bottom but so far no invitees. In fact, he ousted his favorite toy.

There are 17 calls ahead of you...

?????? This is what I got after climbing multiple limbs of the telephone tree and finally reaching "press 5 if you'd like to speak to someone in your doctor's office" ... There are 17 calls head of you?????? WTF?

Sure glad I am not dying or even sick. Also very glad I do not work in that office. Holy crap. All I want to do is move my prescriptions and the system they firmly adhere to won't let me. The pharmacy I want to move two says the doctor does not respond. I'm guessing they didn't want to wait for 17 calls to finish up. Jesus.

I hung up and went back to My Chart and just lied. In My Chart if you want to send a message, you have to pick a subject from their list. If you pick 'refill prescriptions' you slam right into a dead end. 'contact your pharmacy and they will contact us.' So I selected Other. And wrote out the problem and the request. I mentioned that I was not in a big hurry so lordknows if I will ever even hear from them. I am not impressed with my doctor's office right now. (yeah yeah, pandemic, hard to find people to hire, supply chain, global warming... I'm woke just annoyed.)

I finally got the Amazon package that was supposed to get here Sunday. It has the measuring cup which looks like it's going to work perfectly. And INABA likable treats. They come in the same orange packaging that his Tikicat treats come in so he got all excited and then REJECT. Glad there were only 4 in the package. We don't need to get those again.

To the Men Who Have Used the toilet in my half bath.

SHAME ON YOU!!!

Today I decided to really tackle the half bath. It's so tiny that it's very hard to clean but I got all the nooks and crannies.

Then I lifted the seat. WTF???? The bottom of the seat is missing paint! Like it's worn off. It looks disgusting. And there are yellow stains in the top of the bowl where the water comes down.

But that seat. OMG. Why in the hell didn't one of you mention it???? An anonymous note would have worked. Shame me, mock me, but tell me when I need to replace the fucking toilet seat!

Hilariously, I happened to have a spare on hand. Really. I got it years ago and it missed being culled over and over again. And today, it was pressed into service. And thanks to pumice stone I have for my feet and never use and WD-40, the stains are now gone.

Also the former house cleaner is on point for this and the dust in the corners.

But, seriously guys, next time help me out here!
