It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm up for a round of Onerous Tasks Accountability if you want to play...
David, for you: ⭐️

Indeed. ⭐️

I called Spectrum and put my internet in NY on vacation mode, which should have been done several months ago, but apparently didn't happen. Super annoyed that I paid for internet on a place with no power for 4 months. I took it off autopay so at least I will know if I neglect to turn it off again.

Dusted, swept, and cleaned the floor in the hallway, which was in dire need. Also, cleaned the door jamb, which had accumulated many moons, or perhaps years, of handprints.

Still on today's list are dishes, kitty litter replacement, feeding animals, and taking Skinner to the dog park.

I also attended the condo board meeting and might take over the social committee responsibilities. Still mulling it, but told them I would consider it. They have been pushing me to do this for some time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Laura, you kicked some ass! That's a lot.

Gold star for you too: ⭐️

Xfinity called back and they were able to fix it remotely. So I don't have to futz around waiting for a tech tomorrow. However, they noted my modem was four years old and I should just exchange it at an Xfinity store (for free) for a new one.

Now I'm all exhausted and sweaty from the pig cage but I've got to go to Pilates soon.

Oh well. Shit got done.

I did two loads of laundry, changed the sheets, made Gf breadmaker bread, unloaded and re-loaded the dishwasher, had a two-hour, yet also productive, meeting, and... huh. Feels like there was more.

Anyway, I've been very slug-like with cleaning for a while, so I'm doing bit by bit. It can get worse when I'm "alone," so with DH up in PA, I'm trying to focus on being a grown-up person living in/cari n g for a home instead of a toddler rolling around in a pig pen.

I vote you were a grow-up person today.
