Hi, all. I have reached that disheartening point in housework where chaos is increased and things look worse than when you started. However, intellectually I do know that there are some dishes washed and I can use the potato bin and rice cooker once they dry, I will have more hangers available once I wipe them down, including a coveted pants hanger. The wardrobe cart is stander flatter against the wall than it was.
My plan for the clothes is to try them on after washing. If they fit, separate into seasonal and wear them, or off season and put them in the new container that squishes the air out and down to the basement until fall. If they don't fit, if I really love them they go into the squishy container for the basement to appease Inner Brat who would put the brakes on this whole venture if I didn't have that safety valve. If I don't love it and it doesn't fit, Inner Brat and Current Me agree that it can be donated or discarded.
I do feel better after hearing Mark Carney's talk. The gist is that he's not going to give away the country in exchange for a promise of lowered tariffs that will be jacked right back up despite the agreement. It's not that I don't have confidence in him; it's just that we have made ourselves so vulnerable over the past few decades I wasn't sure that he would be able to avoid crumpling.
Hi, kitkat. MMmmm... soup...
There's nothing better than a friendly lab!
Thanks, helia. The grocery run might do as well for your headache as the pill.
The shower incident was shocking. Years ago, I was shocked to learn that there are people who choose to pee in the shower. This is a whole other level.
I'm glad that DD33 got done and you could get to the dry before the downpour started, L.Ann.
LOL, it sounds like Mica has made her choice, Kittykatt, and won't be traumatized if her owners never come back.
