Go into the office, come home with the sniffles.

Stupid dirty infected denizens.

So many people out sick at the moment. I woke up with a sore throat and I’ve hardly been out and wear a mask.

There’s a bout of covid going through my office for the past few weeks. Mine isn’t covid (tested 3 times already) and probably not the flu (had my shot a couple of months back). Most likely just some head cold virus thingy that is more annoying than anything.

After my xmas bout of whatever-the-fuck-virus I had a lingering cough for like 6 weeks. Went into work and had to keep explaining that I’m not sick, and not contagious. I understand the trepidation though. Still too many nuffies that think going into work while actively sick is some sort of show of strength.

I’ve been fake taking extra shots from my puffer because of filthy looks on the bus. Really not sick people, this cough is my normal.

I was supposed to go to a funeral today but when I got up this morning I just didn’t have it in me to go. Mr P was going so I said he could represent our family. I seem to be reaching some kind of depressing events threshold. They were all going out drinking afterwards at one of the shittier local hotels 😬 definitely count me out, would rather stay home than deal with drunken people today. Especially people who had already started squabbling about money barely a day after she died. I felt a bit guilty though, especially seeing as I’d taken the day off work to go, so I had a go at repairing the dishwasher and succeeded! Am kind of enjoying having a day off that’s not a public holiday.

You do whatever you need to do in your own way to get through it.

Everyone has different ways of handling and getting through things, you just do what best works for you.

That’s what’s most important.

Do you guys think this a good idea or bad idea? I sprinkle bird seed and then she sits and watches them through the door.

I made the mistake of putting Cat TV on last week. One of the cats is now so transfixed that the child cannot play roblox without his character being attacked. It’s funny, but I am slightly concerned that she might harm the TV… your method seems safer and involves less screen time which is bad for our younguns.

It says here that it’s enrichment for cats so I think it’s a good idea. https://www.thevetshed.com.au/blog/enrichment-for-cats/4266

But why…? What’s the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?.. Wouldn’t you still have to add detergent…I don’t understand

Load it in the morning. Start it an hour before you get home so it’s ready to hang when you arrive? That way, it isn’t going mankey all day.

That’s all I got.

The only reasons I can come up with are if the laundry is on a different floor it might be handy to check if it has finished before you go downstairs to unload it. It might also remind you if you don’t unload it which could definitely be handy. Or it could give you a bit more control over programming if it has a decent app - it’s easier/cheaper to build in more variables into an app than it is to have hard buttons. My rice cooker has an app which gives you access to a lot more detailed programming than you can do on the panel, like setting the exact finish time for the times, adjusting default times to your preferences, programs for yoghurt etc. Plus it allows multilingual settings - the cooker has chinese on all the buttons but the app is in English.
