a friend of mine was talking about the late-hours laundry policy that his condo association set up a late night addition to what doing the laundry cost -- from $1 a load to $15 a load.

Wow that is crazy!! How loud is laundry that they need to disincentivize late night loads?? I would be super mad at this. (Though to be fair half the time I do laundry during the day since I work from home, but still! Sometimes last minute you need pants for a trip tomorrow or realize the blouse that goes with your interview suit is dirty or whatever...)

I was supposed to have a doctor appointment (consultation) today, and then my usual weightlifting class (just for December and January), but both got canceled. Now I'm not sure what to do with my evening. I kind of want to bake a cake, but I feel like I should go to the gym and see if I can lift weights there.

Our wings are not tired.

Every time the debate screenshot is Biden Sanders I see muppets in the theater balcony. It helps.

I regret to inform you that despite this board's collective cry out, it is somehow morning here. Seriously, rude.

Hey. New board.

My three-year-old is still waking me up between 5:30 and 6:00 every day. And I have to be at work by 7:45 with three children dressed and breakfasted. So I, too, am a morning person by necessity.

But still, I can't do chores before 8 a.m. on a weekend.

I woke naturally at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm not actually a morning person by preference, just genetic destiny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear when I was on vacation, I slept 11 to 7ish most days, so why am I so tired back at work?? Is it really the extra few minutes between when my alarm goes off at 7 and whenever I would have woken up naturally that make such a difference??

Annoying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I went to bed at 1, woke up at 4, back asleep at 5, and awake at 9:30ish. So a decent amount of sleep, yet not particularly restful.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

For some reason unknown to me I need to explain how property tax is paid to my ex-landlady, who owes me money but cannot understand how the municipality handles it (long story short, she needs to pay me directly as I lived in one of her apartments for less than a year so she was listed as the person who lived there. The municipality cannot return the difference between the property tax I paid in full in 2019 and the months I actually lived there).

I cannot get her to understand this for several weeks now. She keeps thinking that the municipality will return my money if she'll just send an email (and she already sent two emails). It won't. She needs to schedule an appointment. Please schedule an appointment, lady. I need that money back, and it's been four months since I left.

I finally, FINALLY managed to get everything verified to pay my Bank of America credit cards online from my own checking account, after trying since last week. I don't know whether to be irritated that it was so much of an ordeal, or worried that it wasn't for my other credit cards, insurance, and utilities. All the others basically went "You want to pay us money? Just enter the bank info and click Send!"
