Good morning shinies I think! Ever have those mornings where you dutifully wake up, ablution a bit and settle down with coffee all "I am awake!" only to discover that you are dozing off in between sips of coffee and whatnot, and you have to try to give yourself a bleary mental pep talk and really do it?

That is happening, I couldn't sleep last night. Call it stress, call it excitement I just didn't sleep well. Today is get out of the house day for SOMETHIING. Probably groceries.

Kitchens... they're easier when you are single. The husband and I have been playing "kitchen chicken" for some time now ,where you just pretend to ignore it and hope the other person will get so grossed out, they'll attack it. LOL. Unfortunately, a) I usually lose and b) it gets far worse than it ever did when I lived alone. Etc.

But yeah, we need groceries something fierce. Etc.

Not sure about easier... but I know now just how much of the mess was always me. I guess the plus is, I can throw anything away whenever I want. I don’t have to ask around.

oh yes...i'm digging the ribbon wire. while i'm waiting for the 2 spools to come from afar i just ordered 150ft of ni80 08mmx0.2mm from a good site in the UK (crazy wire co.).

Yeah back when I was really .... about my housekeeping and living with two males, I just got two large baskets and any item, be it underwear, smelly sneakers, Nintendo gaming cartridges, some sort of electrical device of I have no clue, I would shove it in the kid and husband's basket and inform them the weekly purge day, and then I would like take the basket out and empty it into the trash. LOL. It only took one "purge" for them to get it and I'm sure Martha Stewart had mentioned it on many occasions but I hate daytime TV so I think I came up with it on my own. Those baskets are like the best thing ever, if you hate clutter.

Yes, the universal "I do more chores than everyone," also applies to the kitchen. I have sat there arguing with the husband from time to time over "whose glass it is," for longer than it would take to wash it by hand OR put it in the dishwasher etc.

ALSO I HATED my husband's tendency to like clean OUTSIDE as if that is what MATTERED if we were having houseguests, or whatever, I mean, I'd be in there frantically organizing or scrubbing or whatever, and he's making sure the lei lines on his labyrinth are correctly oriented and whatnot, or taking apart the garbage disposal while I'm trying to MOP which is like, HIS job IDK what it is about houseguests that causes husbands to go, "Winter is four months away, so good luck honey, I'm going to go chop wood!" but I don't so much care for the tendency, as it were. LOL.

Yeah that doesn't work here, we've got clear defined assignments. The kitchen is 100% mine, she doesn't do anything in there, no cooking, no cleaning (her mother's cooking is traumatizing so I get where that comes from ). She does all the laundry in turn.

Problem is this time it's not only surface cleaning, I'm going behind the fridge, inside the range hood, under the stove etc., all the places I haven't visited in a looong time. Behind the fridge is done so now I'll attack the greasy bits, my fingers are all sticky already and I'll have to clean the keyboard later

When the kids were growing up, I worked swing shift. So hubby had to cook, and did do dishes.

We had an unspoken agreement that he would never touch my vacuum or clothes washer, and his lawn mower was off limits too. It wasn’t about gender specific roles, it was about I was better able to turn out pockets and not destroy the machine. He was better at mowing and never ever complained about it. I never once had to ask him to. (gosh I miss that a lot)

When I wasn’t working, he was, like seriously all the hours, usually 16 hrs/day, 7 days if they’d let him. So no, I didn’t expect help with the house, but to be fair, he wasn’t home long enough to make any mess.

And when I was sick, he’d take care of all that for me (maybe not quite how I’d do it) but without hesitation or complaints

I was a lucky gal.

A good housework solution is to live in a fully self contained 5 metre x 5 metre tiny house. Vacuuming takes 2 minutes (even less when I was on a knee scooter)

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

 

[Mowgli]

I already cut the lawn this summer. I can still see the dog so Saul Goodman.

This dude is quickly becoming my favorite RDA. Huge build deck, smooth airflow and thanks to its low profile, great flavor. This thing is giving me massive clouds while still making my juice pop. I'll probably need another in gunmetal or black now that they got the paint issues sorted. The juice is Portuguese egg tart. Some of the best sweet custard style juice I've ever had. Today is a good vape day.

E - To add to the Paranormal discussion, I think the firing button is a little too "squishy" compared to the Therion. The Therion just feels more natural in my hand, too.

What is the name of that RDA?

warrior rda - Google Search

 

[stols001]

Bleugh been doing my credentialing packet and I hate those. Good thing I still have most everything as far as like, the jail, it's rather similar. And also well, yeah, I needed a BREAK. I'll get it done before the end of the day, heck all but like 1 thing plus scanning the packet itself are already DONE.

Etc.

Get a Roomba. Save the two minutes for yourself.

What @Mowgli said. I'm diggin' it. It's a collaboration between some coil builders and Wotofo - Wotofo Warrior RDA - Excellent rebuildable vaping devices, RDAs, RTAs from Wotofo

Also, how about some Friday Therion love?

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

 

[jfcooley]

Ikr, dont remember what material was used but it has a brass like weight.

Congrats on the year.

 

[jfcooley]

Thanks.
Fits well into the hand as it should. I like the weight personally, some may not.

About all I can say about it. Came home to get before heading back out.

 

[stols001]

One year, CONGRATULATIONS.

I think you spent a lot less than I did, too... LOL.

And, they sent your mailman my way, so I shall mention my INTENSE remorse for like, mocking you and the Postal Service, man I'd say I'm never mocking someone again but a) that would be lying, which is also bad and b) I think only the Postal Service can pull off that sort of Instant Karma.

Congrats.
