Ooh, I would take you up on that, t! My pots and pans are definitely getting grungy and old and I should also buy a better caliber of them too. Since I probably won’t be having a wedding and asking for them.

Looks like a pressure washer is like $40 to rent for a day? So I may convince some friends we should do that and do both our places!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My sister gave me steak knives in my flatware pattern for Christmas, and she's still speaking to me, so you'd probably be fine, meara.

I feel like renting is the way to go with power washers in general

I can get you a good deal, meara, but not right now because it's not moved to the cloud since the cyberattack. I'll try to remember to let you know when it's available again!

Sounds good—it’s a “I should do that at some point in the coming months” rather than “oh shit need them now”

I do want a set of steak knives. Other than that, my chef's knife, paring knife, and serated Ginsu (yes, from TV - a friend and I bought a buy one get one pair!) have been serving me really well.

I have one of these burst blood vessels in the eye, which are generally harmless but look horrendous. I keep forgetting and then shrinking back when I look in a mirror.

Another day, another round of being disappointed by someone who should know better posting support for fucking Joe Rogan.

I'm torn between wanting to know who it is so I don't step in the guacamole inadvertantly and letting my ignorance ride so that the disappointment is a problem for Future Me.

No one you know. It just really ruined my mood for the day.

Disappointment will do that, like a moldy berry that ruins the whole pint.

I meant to say, that is a bummer, Dana.

Our wings are not tired.

We had a really good potential buyer look at the house earlier. The realtor was psyched. Said it was a great fit and she wants to see it again next week with her daughter who will be down from NY. He also said there were a couple sales nearby that will be public in a couple days that more than solidly reinforce my asking price, which of course he shared with the other realtor too.

I am so ready to have this behind me. All the good~offer~ma you can muster would be appreciated. Another week of doing a bunch of stuff before they come back.... We get so many people pulling up and taking pictures of the sign. This is peak tourist time so one of the best times for home sales here.
