And DH is still dragging his feet on buying a new washer. I sense there will be laundromats in my future.
If DH is dragging his feet, maybe he should be the one sitting in the laundromat.
Don't I get a cookie?

In theory, sure Calli. In practice, we need to wear clean clothes, and I'm better at carving out time in my schedule to get to the laudromat, plus more flexible about multitasking and working in unfamiliar settings. So getting it done outside of the house speaks to my skill set and not his. He gets stuck with other tasks that I'm not good at.

Oh, I feel this. (Not in a complaining way; not really. It's just very familiar. But I also don't vacuum the house or clean the litter boxes, and he just repaired a window screen that *I* gashed a hole in when I was cleaning snow off the car. It all works out, but yes, the tasks that require more flexibility, both time- and skill-wise, tend to fall to me.) (It's possible this strikes a chord with me because I was also the designated laundromat-wrangler when our washer died, and I hate the laundromat, despite their fast machines and free wifi.)

Yep. The men we married have some things in common, don't they?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
He's in a vodka ad right now with Alison Brie and while it doesn't make me want to buy vodka, it REALLY makes me want to go to whatever party they're shopping for!
That's what I think every time I see it! I mean, I'm not gonna buy Smirnoff, but the ads are very cute.
If you can take the day off to get ready, ita, that seems like a very reasonable use of PTO to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought you were going this weekend, ita! I'm confused.
You're not the only one. I think I didn't explain it well to anyone. The viewing is Thursday the 1st, and the funeral Friday, and we come back Saturday morning. And I am taking tomorrow off.
Man, there's a guy a row over complaining his daughter didn't make some varsity team, and he's OTT. And the guy he's talking to is encouraging him!
I may have already eaten my lunch, but I can't hear the word "BIAS" again. Must go.
