How's the water heater coming along, meara?

Yay, Awesome Doctor! I hope he can help you get the relief you need.

Ugh. I just shattered a glass bottle of pomegranate molasses all over the tile floor.

Oh no! SJ!

Steph I hope Awesome Doctor can find a medicine that works with minimal side effects.

I had therapy, it was mostly me kind of processing (still) some of the stuff that happened since last time and things. Plus I had told him about bullet journals nad I showed him the one I made (my theraist loves charts, graphs and lists I figured this would be up his alley). And some other stuff.

I thought about getting gas but didn't now I'm kicking myself because there's a rumor of a possible gas shortage which is causing an actual gas shortage.

Oh I still need to get my car inspected/properly registered. I was going to try and do that yesterday but I had to babysit for E last minute (and then the plans from my brother and his GF changed three or 4 times which I hate but I have no control over).

So now it looks like next Monday will be the time when I have to do that. I hope I can get this done and out of the way without having an anxiety attack.

Ah, sj, what a pain to clean up (and what a waste!)

The water heater got fixed! It's now 70 in here instead of 64 and I took a nice shower. Yay. And the electric blanket was fabulous last night...and this morning while lounging on the couch :)

Pomegranate molasses sound so very sticky. What a pain to clean up!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yay for Awesome Doctor, Steph!

Aside from something that's literally on fire, that has got to be about the worst to clean up. Ack.

Yes, sticky with broken glass is not fun to clean up. Anyone have any suggestions for getting it out of my pricey sneakers?

I'd throw 'em in the washing machine, sj. Regular cycle.If they can't hold up for one wash, you know not to get that brand again. I say this as someone who went to an old-fasioned shoe store where they measure you (and keep index cards of notes on customers with special fit needs) with one of the people I assist, and specified that along with having velcro straps, the shoes she got needed to be tough enough to survive multiple trips through the washer. The guy brought out leather New Balance sneakers. And I know they've been through the wash at least twice, looking not much worse for the wear. Mind you, might put canvas sneakers in the dryer, but not the leather ones.
