Just a little graphite and they are working like they're brand new again.

Really gotta get in there sometimes.

Thursday is supposed to be MY day.

I didn't take my ADHD medicine today. Went to go get stuff out of my car and ended up with 3 different screwdrivers on the ground trying to unscrew the garage door opener.
The sun-tanning of the plastic was pretty cool. guess it used to be white instead of yellow/tan. Didn't know that.

The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don't bother. The one or two times I've needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.

My old washer just let the smoke out of the control board in the middle of a load of laundry the other day but luckily I had my moms old washing machine (still newer than mine was) laying around to hook up instead. Except now I realized that my mom aparently loves fabric softner and every compartment on the thing needed a waxy fabric softner buildup scrubbed out of it.

I can't exactly complain about a free appliance but damn do I hate fabric softner. It makes my fabrics water repelant and it gums up washers. Awful stuff.

I had a terminal open, running ping to monitor my internet connection earlier. Today I noticed it was close to looping, and I set an alarm to make sure I could watch it loop back to 0.

I don't know how dull it is, but I think I have 2**16 bits of dullness here.

This plunger is very good for clearing out a clogged sink. Much better than any other plunger I've tried before.

We are out of normal breakfast foods, so I had to improvise.

Last tablespoon of bacon grease Stick of butter 3/4 cup of flour Salt Pepper Fennel seeds Thyme Basil

Not sure if the kids will eat it on toast, but I thought it was pretty good.

The fennel seeds came off a bit strong.

...ensuring the ginger bits are fully coated.

The last several months, I’ve started watching YouTube.

I tried looking at what I’ve been watching:

• lawn mowing
• drain clearing
• dog grooming

I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.

The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.

I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.

I will cook it tomorrow. I got the tortillas with extra fiber.

Now with the window closed I don't get a draft.

I think I like the flakes better, actually. I microwave-bake bread with onion in it daily and the flakes are nicer.

Minced? Pure madness. Let alone powder.

The bolts for the handle prevent going from top to bottom in one motion across the whole door so I had to adapt. Over time, I've become pretty good at removing all the water to prevent streaks when it dries even on the sleepiest of mornings.

I just want to do cool stuff with a keyboard

I was supposed to move my car last night but I forgot. The ticket is for $65 but I found a dollar on the ground near my car so I'm actually only out $64.

I set an alarm in my calendar so I won't forget next time.

Took a long time to clean. They were pretty filthy since they were neglected for quite sometime.

I went for a haircut today. My usual barbershop has closed down, the owner retired, and the guy who did me went to another shop, that was closed today. So I went to a new place. I only asked for the usual, #4 buzz cut on the head and #3 on beard, but nobody else was in the place, and they ended doing everything they have: buzz cut, razor around the edges, hot towels, neck massage. Almost an hour in the chair.

Felt a little hustled, but it was not that much, and I did not say no to anything. I think it was a promo by the shop owner, they want me to come back. I will be in front of a lot of people next week, so does not hurt to look as good as possible, and I did enjoy it. Probably won't do it all the time, though.
